Distributors and Retailers Deliver with Descartes
“One thing that no other routing software we looked at could meet was our business rules. Descartes handled that from the start. We can balance time, we can balance weight while still following all of our rules, and then also balance any overlap so we don't have drivers passing over each other._
RANDY ROBINSON

"We were able to log information such as pickup windows and days of service, which allowed us to strategically optimize our routes and make sure that we were getting the most out of our assets and logistics network."
