Descartes Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines the real-time transportation visibility platform (RTTVP) market as platforms that provide real-time location and status insights into orders once they have left the warehouse. This includes other facilities, such as those of a brand owner, supplier, contract manufacturer or service provider. Such platforms, owned and managed by third-party software vendors, represent part of the supply chain visibility market that predominantly — but not solely — addresses domestic road transportation modes. RTTVPs obtain data through integration (via API or electronic data interchange [EDI], for example) with carrier systems, direct feeds from telematics (in-cab or in-trailer devices) or other technologies or apps.

Best connections are through carrier TMS and ELD systems.  However, quality of data can be dependent on the capabilities of the carrier's TMS system (e.g. the types and quantities of data the TMS system captures).
