DSG Descartes Systems Group Inc

Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Giltner Logistics, a leading asset-backed third-party logistics provider (3PL), is streamlining its accounts receivable workflow, accelerating payment cycles and enhancing cash flow management using the Descartes Aljex™ transportation management system (TMS) integrated with Upwell’s advanced accounts receivable (AR) technology.

“Our mission is to simplify customers’ supply chains by combining technology, experience and expertise to create efficient, frictionless shipping,” said Todd Baughman, Vice President of Technology at Giltner. “The integrated solution helps us meet this objective by automating customer invoicing and enhancing the workflows between Descartes Aljex and customer payment providers. The end result is a reduction in time-consuming manual work, while lowering days-to-pay and days-sales-outstanding metrics to help fuel sustainable growth.”

The scalable, cloud-based Descartes Aljex TMS helps freight brokers of all sizes to boost operational efficiency, maximize margins and enhance customer service by automating and streamlining daily brokerage activities, including order entry, lane rate comparison, covering loads, rate confirmation, carrier acceptance, dispatching and carrier communications. The integration between Descartes Aljex and Upwell’s automated AR system helps freight brokers and 3PLs shorten their cash cycle, which ensures quicker payments by reducing the time spent on manual invoicing and collections. By accelerating financial processes and improving cash flow management, the combined solution helps 3PLs maintain liquidity and drive business growth while reducing administrative workloads.

“We’re pleased that Giltner Logistics is improving cash flow management with the integrated solution,” said Charley Dehoney, CEO of Upwell. “We believe that the combination of our financial automation technology with Descartes Aljex TMS creates a powerful solution to help freight brokers transform how they manage receivables to optimize cash flow, increase operational efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction.”

“In today’s fast-paced transportation industry, securing timely payments from customers directly impacts liquidity and sustainable growth,” said Dan Cicerchi, General Manager, Transportation Management at Descartes. “With our core capabilities and extensive partner ecosystem, freight brokers and 3PLs have an advanced technology platform to help protect margins and drive profitability by simplifying financial processes and reducing administrative workloads.”
