en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Descartes Systems Group showcased its latest artificial intelligence (AI)-powered innovations in fleet management, route planning, telematics, and customer engagement at the 2026 Road Transport Expo (RTX), held from June 30 to July 2 at the NAEC in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire.

As a provider of business-aligned solutions for logistics-intensive enterprises worldwide, Descartes demonstrated at the expo how its solutions leverage advanced fleet management, route planning, telematics, and customer engagement tools to help organizations achieve real-time visibility, optimize delivery performance, and deliver exceptional customer service in an increasingly competitive market environment.

Andrew Tavener, Head of Fleet Marketing for Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Descartes, stated that fleet operators face challenges from compressed profit margins, rising customer expectations, and increasingly stringent sustainability goals. Organizations that embrace smarter, data-driven operations will gain a clear advantage. AI-driven route planning and proactive customer notifications enable operators to continuously optimize route plans, improve safety, enhance estimated time of arrival accuracy, and make more informed long-term decisions regarding fleet composition and warehouse strategies.

The technological innovations and enhancements showcased by Descartes at RTX include: AI-powered fleet and last-mile capabilities for reliable and profitable execution; AI-enabled safety technologies to monitor driving behavior and proactively address risks; AI-driven service time prediction, continuously optimized based on real-time conditions such as traffic, weather, and delivery constraints, with early deployments showing these capabilities increasing route density by up to 30%, enabling fleets to complete more stops without adding vehicles or drivers; and AI-powered analytics to proactively identify and mitigate delivery risks, helping customers maintain service reliability.
