Jaguar Freight Services has announced that it has been honored with an Excellence and Innovation Award, presented by The Descartes Systems Group Inc., a global leader in logistics technology.

The Award, presented Nov. 10, 2011 at the Descartes Evolution 2011 Global User and Partner Conference, recognizes Descartes customers and partners for their ground-breaking use of Descartes global logistics technology. Jaguar Freight was one of nine companies to receive the Award.

"In 2010, Jaguar Freight chose the Descartes Transportation Manager to help ensure seamless planning and execution of our door-to-door freight solutions involving for-hire carriers," stated Simon Kaye, Founder and CEO, Jaguar Freight. "As an integral element of CyberTrax, our proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS), the Descartes software optimizes the entire end-to-end transportation process and enables carriers to exchange information independent of the data format. As a result, Jaguar Freight provides extensive TMS functionality by delivering accurate, real-time information without the cost, installation, and maintenance burdens associated with a conventional TMS."

The Jaguar Freight CyberTrax TMS uses Descartes technology to manage for-hire transportation for supply chain customers. The TMS functionalities include SaaS and cloud-computing solutions, and work with a full range of interfaces around the clock, at a substantially lower cost than a conventional TMS, in order to:

• Perform optimized consolidation of freight
• Combine shipments to lower transportation costs
• Select the most suitable carrier to handle shipments
• Communicate shipment information to for-hire carriers and trading partners

This IT approach helps Jaguar clients source production materials and receive finished goods to market faster, cheaper, and with greater efficiency. All of Jaguar Freight's clients receive real-time, single platform visibility into the status of their goods and shipments through the CyberTrax TMS using Descartes technology, making shipment status and location constantly available and updated, and providing insightful supply chain intelligence through key performance and cost indicators (KPIs), and other critical, customizable metrics.
