Excelerated Logistics was founded by long-time business partners with over 25 years of experience building companies before forming a highly-efficient, professional, and scalable delivery operation. As they expanded their operation, they faced mounting challenges around service consistency, compliance readiness, and fleet visibility. By centralizing routing, compliance, and safety with Descartes GroundCloud, they streamlined their operations to better support continued growth.
Challenge
Excelerated Logistics realized that to achieve their business goals, they needed a better way to manage their operations. They needed to ensure consistency across routes, manage safety compliance proactively, and maintain full visibility into daily operations while adding new routes, drivers, and vehicles. Manual reporting and reactive processes were no longer sufficient to meet the demands. They needed a purpose-built, centralized system to keep on top of compliance standards, effectively train drivers, and scale more efficiently.
Solution
Excelerated Logistics was able to centralize their operations with Descartes GroundCloud, allowing them to streamline their workflows and set themselves up for future growth. Real-time route and safety data provides greater visibility into daily operations and performance trends.
By using both the integrated Video Event Data Recorder (VEDR) system and Proactive Safety Training, they were also able to improve safety culture and compliance across their organization. Bringing these essential business operations under one platform enabled seamless, automated reporting that reduced administrative overhead and laid the groundwork for growth.
