Canada Cartage is firmly committed to the investment of technology as a key differentiator. This is apparent in all transport and distribution services, where technology plays a focal point in our ability to develop specific programs that respect each customer's unique needs.

Our goal is to buy industry-leading off-the-shelf solutions and to use Canada Cartage's extensive in-house software development team to complement purchased systems with home grown software. The unique combination of purchased and in-house developed solutions has made Canada Cartage the topic of several IT-related articles and has earned us the opportunity to be featured in a 2010 Microsoft case study.

In our Direct Distribution business, we operate in a dynamic environment with varying degrees of complexity caused by multiple clients operating in one or more facilities. Every Direct Distribution facility operates differently due to reasons such as client mix, customer's key performance indicators (KPI), terms of contracts and many other factors. As a result, we felt it imperative to provide a flexible and highly configurable solution (minimizing development) that provides quick time to market for new or changing requirements. For this reason, Direct Distribution invested in the deployment of the Accellos One 3PL system.
