Descartes Systems Group announced that Eurochoice is using the cloud-based Descartes MacroPoint solution for real-time visibility into the status and location of ocean container shipments as they are transported to destination countries. The Descartes MacroPoint solution for ocean visibility provides shippers, like Eurochoice, and ocean carriers with real-time status, location and estimated-time-of-arrival (ETA) information on ocean freight. By using a single platform to monitor the movement of their shipments and communicate updates to customers, companies can enhance supply chain performance and exception management.

The solution also helps shippers minimize container imbalance, detention and demurrage fees, form more productive relationships with carriers, and automate intermodal tracking as shipments transition from ports of arrival to truck and rail modes of delivery.
