CLEVELAND, Dec. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MacroPoint announced that DAT Keypoint has integrated its freight tracking technology, enabling DAT's broker TMS users to track their freight carried by third party drivers and for-hire carriers. MacroPoint enables DAT Keypoint users to receive automated location updates from a driver's cell phone of any type, including standard flip phones.

"Because the MacroPoint solution can be deployed on a load-by-load basis, our non-asset based customers have an extremely cost-effective way to track their loads from pickup to delivery," said Steve Blair, general manager, DAT Keypoint. "Our broker and 3PL customers can now offer their shippers 100% visibility, and gain the competitive advantage that goes with that."

"MacroPoint is excited by the opportunity to integrate our software directly with the DAT Keypoint interface," says Bennett Adelson, President of MacroPoint.
