NFI has announced that it is using MacroPoint’s freight tracking software to enhance load tracking capabilities for its current customers.
MacroPoint’s tracking software will be activated on the mobile phones of drivers hired by NFI’s carrier partners to provide load status and location data. This will provide NFI’s customers with real-time data on location, on-time delivery monitoring, and arrival/departure notifications.
“We chose MacroPoint to fill a gap in the track and trace function of our business,” said David Broering, senior vice president of integrated solutions at NFI. “MacroPoint gives us another tool to use to provide our carrier partners with options for updating us with the location of the loads they’re hauling.”
NF is a supply chain solutions provider that provides dedicated transportation, warehousing, intermodal, brokerage, transportation management, global, real estate and trailer storage services. The company has a fleet of over 2,000 tractors and 8,200 trailers with more than 2,600 drivers and 250 owner operators.
