Descartes Systems Group, the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, is showcasing its latest artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled fleet, routing, telematics and customer engagement innovations at the Road Transport Expo (RTX), taking place June 30 – 2^nd July at the NAEC, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire.

At this year’s show, Descartes is demonstrating how its solutions leverage advanced fleet, routing, telematics and customer engagement tools to help organisations of all sizes gain real-time visibility, optimise delivery performance, and deliver exceptional customer service in a market where just doing ‘OK’ is no longer OK.

“Fleet operators can’t afford to settle for ‘OK’ performance anymore. With margins under pressure, rising customer expectations, and increasingly demanding sustainability targets, there’s more pressure than ever on fleet operators today,” said Andrew Tavener, Head of Fleet Marketing EMEA at Descartes. “In this climate, organisations that actively seek smarter, data-driven ways to operate will gain a clear edge. AI-powered route planning and proactive customer notifications allow operators to continuously refine route plans, improve safety, enhance ETA accuracy and make smarter long-term decisions about fleet composition and depot strategy. At the RTX show, we’re demonstrating how fleets can move beyond reactive execution and make ‘WOW’ their new delivery standard, all driven by data-led precision.”

The technology innovations and enhancements Descartes is showcasing at the RTX show include:

• AI-enabled Fleet and Last Mile Capabilities to Execute Reliably and Profitably
  • AI-enabled safety technologies to monitor driving behavior and proactively address risk.
  • AI-driven service time predictions that are continuously refined based on real-time conditions such as traffic, weather and delivery constraints. These capabilities have increased route density by up to 30% in early deployments, enabling fleets to complete more stops without adding vehicles or drivers.
  • AI-driven analytics to proactively identify and mitigate delivery risks, helping customers maintain service reliability at scale.
