Descartes Launches MacroPoint FraudGuard 2.0 to Combat Freight Fraud

Descartes Systems Group has launched Descartes MacroPoint FraudGuard 2.0, a next-generation freight fraud detection platform designed to help shippers, freight brokers, and third-party logistics providers combat increasingly sophisticated fraud and cargo theft. The updated solution offers enhanced capabilities across pre-tender, pre-pickup, and in-transit shipment stages, employing real-time monitoring and automated alerts on 16 critical risk indicators such as identity spoofing, GPS spoofing, route deviations, and double brokering. Key features include a Carrier and Driver Lookup Tool for quick legitimacy checks and Custom Carrier Insights to detect suspicious behaviors like the use of VoIP numbers or excessive load acceptance. Users like Circle Logistics have reported increased operational confidence, reduced manual workload, improved compliance, and stronger cargo protection due to the system's timely risk alerts and comprehensive data insights. Overall, FraudGuard 2.0 leverages Descartes MacroPoint's extensive freight visibility data to enhance decision-making accuracy, safeguard brand reputation, and minimize financial and reputational risks related to freight fraud. This new technology reinforces Descartes Systems Group's leadership in providing SaaS solutions that enhance productivity, security, and compliance in logistics-intensive businesses.
