Logistics services provider adds MacroPoint load tracking capability CLEVELAND, OH - MacroPoint, creator of patented freight tracking software designed to give shippers, brokers, 3PLs and carriers real-time visibility into load status, today announced a long term agreement with Armstrong Transport Group. The logistics services provider will enable the MacroPoint load tracking solution at 73 agent offices where more than 450 brokers manage over 10,000 loads per month, and integrate the software with its Transportation Management System. “MacroPoint will make it easier for us to provide load tracking for our many customers with time sensitive needs,” said Brian Mann, COO at Armstrong Transport Group. “Meeting their requirement for load status updates every four hours created a lot of work calling drivers and then calling or notifying customers. MacroPoint makes it simple to automate the process, and the ease of integration with our TMS made it a turnkey solution for our users and drivers.” Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Armstrong Transport Group has grown from two-person start up in 2006 into a nationwide network of agents and brokers. The company provides dry van, refrigerated, flatbed and specialized truckload, LTL, heavy haul, expedited, rail and air freight services throughout North America. “Investing in MacroPoint’s tracking technology will benefit not only our customers but also provide best-in-class tools for our agents and brokers,” said Christopher Cobb, CEO at Armstrong Transport Group. “With MacroPoint we can now provide our customers with as many location updates as they want.” MacroPoint load tracking software provides arrival and departure notification and out-of-route monitoring by tracking the location of a driver’s mobile phone or existing in-cab ELD/GPS devices. “MacroPoint easily integrates with any TMS, including company-designed systems like the one in use at Armstrong Transport Group,” said David Halsema, vice president for MacroPoint. “The ease of integration with any TMS system is a key part of MacroPoint’s success and we’re glad to add Armstrong to our growing list of integration partners.”
