Factoring
DAT Freight & Analytics offers a variety of factoring options in partnership with a leading factoring partner.

Through DAT One they offer Tracking that gives shippers the visibility they need and want to track loads in real time. The Tracking solution is also driver-friendly to assist drivers.
Their Tracking solutions features include being able to see your fleet on a national map and drill down on it to single shipment details. The app allows you to track your vehicles from anywhere. You can also send information to your drivers to save you from making check-in calls and giving them the information. The Tracking solution also integrates with DAT Broker TMS and other TMS providers to allow you to see everything in one place.
Tracking is available on a month-to-month subscription service that can be cancelled at any time with no set-up fees and a low price per load. It allows you to track some or all of your loads by GPS or ELD registration.
