provider enable seamless capabilities for mutual customers
CLEVELAND, OH – July 14, 2015 -- MacroPoint, creators of patented freight
tracking software designed to give 3rd party visibility into load status, today
announced an integration with CarrierWeb, a provider of real-time mobile
communications, electronic logging and refrigerated telematics technology for
private and for-hire fleets. This seamless integration enables their mutual carrier,
shipper and broker customers to instantly share freight tracking information
tailored to their unique service requirements.
“The integration gives our customers another way to share critical load
information with their customers who utilize MacroPoint to monitor load status
across many different carriers in their system,” said Keith O’Brien, VP product
management and professional services at CarrierWeb. “For example, JNJ
Express came to us and said they needed to provide load updates via
MacroPoint to a large customer. Working with MacroPoint we integrated their
tracking functionality to give them the automated information they need.”
“Our customer told us we needed to enable the MacroPoint integrated load
tracking solution they use to help manage shipments globally,” said Joe
Hilderbrand, director of operations at JNJ Express, Inc. an asset based
transportation and logistics services provider headquartered in Memphis,
Tennessee. “We asked CarrierWeb if they could set up the integration and told
them we needed to get it done quickly.
“Ten days after our initial integration meeting we were in final testing,”
Hilderbrand added. “Implementation of the MacroPoint solution via CarrierWeb
was very smooth. Both companies were great to work with and most importantly,
we are now helping our customer increase efficiencies in its organization based
on the load tracking information we’re providing.”
Used with a driver’s mobile phone, including flip phones, or existing in-cab
ELD/GPS devices, MacroPoint’s patented location tracking software gives third
parties load status and location visibility on their shipments. With MacroPoint,
brokers, 3PLs and shippers have real-time location tracking, on-time delivery
monitoring, and arrival and departure notifications that enhance the efficiency
and profitability of their operations.
“By integrating with our MacroPoint freight tracking software, CarrierWeb is
seamlessly providing visibility into the location of freight for our mutual
customers,” said Glynn Spangenberg, senior vice president/general manager of
MacroPoint. “We designed our 3rd party load tracking software to integrate with

2. solutions that carriers, brokers and shippers are already using to manage their
operations without needing additional software, and we’re pleased that
CarrierWeb has joined our growing list of partners.”
