MercuryGate Integrates DAT's Carrier Onboarding

PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DAT Solutions today announced that its carrier onboarding product, DAT Onboarding™, is now integrated with MercuryGate, a transportation management software for carriers, brokers and shippers. That means MercuryGate users can quickly and efficiently bring on new carriers without leaving the MercuryGate application.

With DAT Onboarding, carriers complete an online profile that includes their equipment type, services, geographic preferences, tax information and insurance agent details. Once completed, carriers can visit any broker's site on the DAT Onboarding platform to sign that broker's contract. 

"Time is money, especially in freight transportation," said Greg Sikes, DAT Solutions Vice President of Products.  "The integration of DAT Onboarding into MercuryGate allows our mutual customers to replace a paper-driven process with one that is far less time consuming, enabling them to quickly onboard carriers and start moving freight."

Todd Bucher, Vice President of Fleet Management for MercuryGate International, agrees. "Our customers are always looking for ways to improve efficiency and minimize errors when onboarding carriers to MercuryGate TMS.  DAT Onboarding reduces the resources required and speeds the time to carrier availability for accepting tenders," he said. "Combined with MercuryGate TMS and Carma for carrier management, the onboarding process can be 100 percent hands off.  That's a big win for our clients."

MercuryGate is integrated with other DAT Solutions products as well, including DAT Load Boards, DAT RateView™, and DAT CarrierWatch^®.  DAT Solutions is currently working with other major TMS vendors to integrate DAT Onboarding into their software.
