ATLANTA, Georgia, February 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Tennessee-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider Vesta Freight is using Descartes transportation management suite to transform its nationwide freight operations and drive 18x growth in monthly shipment volume. By automating and synchronizing transportation management processes to streamline the movement of freight, Vesta elevated its customer and carrier experience, accelerated revenue cycles and reduced fraud exposure.
“Our mission is to deliver transportation excellence to shippers and carriers with every shipment, transaction and interaction, and the Descartes technology stack has been instrumental in helping us scale from a start-up into a trusted nationwide brokerage. Rather than managing a patchwork of disconnected systems, Descartes provides a unified platform where brokerage execution, financial workflows, carrier onboarding and vetting, real-time visibility, and fraud prevention already work together seamlessly. That connectivity strengthens security and visibility across our network, simplifies how carriers do business with us, and gives our customers confidence that their freight will arrive safely, all while enabling our team to operate efficiently and continue scaling with confidence.”
The Descartes transportation management suite used by Vesta Freight integrates the following technologies:
· Descartes 3G TMS™ to automate and synchronize the more mechanical and transactional processes of brokerage operations, such as planning, rating, tendering and invoicing, so brokers can cover more loads with less manual labor, improve margins and enhance customer satisfaction.
· Descartes MacroPoint™ to connect to the most reliable global network of carriers in the industry for real-time, multimodal shipment visibility and seamless capacity sourcing, which decreases costs and allows resources to focus on high value relationships and growth.
· Descartes MacroPoint FraudGuard™ to facilitate the early detection of potential fraud using powerful historical and real-time Descartes MacroPoint visibility data, automated in-transit monitoring, and risk alerting to help companies better protect their shipments, reputation and bottom line.
· Descartes MyCarrierPortal™ drives multi-faceted security and transparency within the carrier network, with robust carrier vetting, automated onboarding and ongoing risk monitoring with sophisticated fraud prevention.
“We’re pleased our platform has helped Vesta Freight scale its nationwide brokerage operations. By unifying transportation management, real-time visibility, carrier vetting and onboarding, fraud prevention, and back-office execution within a single platform, Descartes enables brokers like Vesta to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively. Combined with the industry’s largest multimodal network of connected trading partners, this integrated systems approach helps brokers reduce complexity, improve execution and support sustainable growth.”
