e-Brief -- TransCore Certifies McLeod TMS for Direct DAT Network Access
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TransCore announces it has certified two transportation management software (TMS) systems from McLeod Software, PowerBroker II and LoadMaster IX, for direct integration with TransCore’s DAT® Network of freight load boards, including 3sixty Freight Match.
Using TransCore’s Connexion™ Web Service, McLeod’s PowerBroker II and LoadMaster IX customers can search and post to the DAT Network in real time, from within the TMS application. Without Connexion, users would have to leave the TMS to access the load board, and then return to the TMS, which costs them valuable time and potentially lost business. Connexion also saves McLeod users time by enabling them to upload loads or trucks as they come in, and by eliminating duplicate data entries.
For McLeod customers, TransCore Connexion provides the most efficient way to post and search for loads and trucks in a business environment where every second counts.
Connexion certification affirms the commitment by TransCore and McLeod to work together on customer support and integration.
