Our customers are hands down the best source of information for us, whether it be market conditions, UX/CX, or opportunities for product development. Our enterprise sales team just wrapped up our second 2024 ENGAGE event last week in Chicago and we cannot overstate the value of your input over the four days. Thank you!  

However, ENGAGE isn’t the only avenue by which your voice can be heard. We are fast approaching our annual user conference, DATCON24, this year in Kansas City from October 22 to 24, and we are excited to host what is fast becoming the must-attend industry event.  

Lastly, below you’ll find a link to apply for our Customer Advisory Board (CAB). Join us in helping shape the future of DAT products and services. Spots are limited, so act now!

Let’s look at your integrations

Mature businessman working on a laptop. He is sitting at a desk looking serious. He is wearing a tie.

Operating a freight brokerage, 3PL, or 4PL is more than just the type of freight you manage, pricing, and carrier relationships. While critical to your business, how you do those things and how long it takes to do those things are equally important. 

Enter technology like your TMS and your internal systems. Those systems are only as good as the data feeding into them. That’s where integrations come in. 

Why do your integrations matter?
