DAT fully integrates Convoy Platform with AscendTMS

DAT Freight & Analytics announced that it has launched the full set of Convoy Platform capabilities for InMotion Global’s AscendTMS, a popular cloud-based transportation management system for small and mid-sized freight brokers.

The Convoy Platform integration provides access to an extensive network of vetted carriers and the ability to execute freight transactions instantly, directly within the AscendTMS workflow. The integration fully automates load posting, bidding, booking, tracking, shipment documentation, and payment, so brokers can move more loads with less manual work.

Brokers also benefit from a pay-as-you-go model, paying only for loads matched and completed within their pricing specifications, with no upfront costs or monthly minimums.

“Brokers are operating on tighter margins while navigating increasing fraud risk,” said Bill Driegert, EVP, Convoy Platform, at DAT. “This integration provides AscendTMS users with the advanced freight automation and fraud-protection technology they need without a change in workflow or upfront investment.”

“The future of freight transactions is 100% digital, and this integration extends the value we offer our customers by showing them that future, today,” said Tim Higham, CEO, AscendTMS. “Brokers can now instantly activate DAT’s Convoy Platform marketplace from within their AscendTMS account and experience the time and cost savings that come with fully automated load matching, transit, payment, and workflow.”

AscendTMS brokers can access the Convoy Platform integration regardless of whether they are DAT customers.
