Descartes Systems Group announced a new review management and audit logging capability within Descartes MyCarrierPortal to help freight brokers, third party logistics service providers (3PLs), and shippers create auditable, transparent carrier selection processes. The new AuditLog feature is designed to assist organizations in reducing their reliance on manual recordkeeping and disconnected documentation systems by providing standardized review workflows, management oversight, and auditable decision records.

The launch comes as the U.S. transportation industry evaluates the implications of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC. Dan Cicerchi, EVP, Corporate & Operations Development at Descartes, stated that documenting carrier vetting activities and demonstrating reasonable care is coming under greater scrutiny. The capability aims to help organizations establish consistent governance around carrier selection while maintaining operational efficiency.

Built directly into the Descartes MyCarrierPortal carrier onboarding and compliance solution, AuditLog combines carrier review management and audit logging in a single workflow. The solution automatically documents carrier risk assessment information, review activity, management oversight, and outcomes at the time decisions are made. This approach preserves a historical record of carrier evaluations and onboarding decisions, creating a "snapshot in time" of the information available and considered during the review process.

Key Capabilities

Using AuditLog, organizations can review carrier risk and safety assessments through a centralized workflow. The system allows users to document carrier approvals and denials with commentary and supporting rationale. It also routes carriers requiring additional scrutiny through management review processes and establishes future review dates for ongoing oversight.

The solution automatically records review actions and workflow changes to create auditable records of carrier selection decisions. It improves visibility and communication across operational, safety, and compliance teams while supporting internal governance, audit, and documentation initiatives.

Customer and Executive Commentary

Holly Phillips, Director, Accounts Receivable at Bridgeway, emphasized the value of the new capability in the wake of the Montgomery decision. She noted that the ability to leverage customizable carrier risk assessments and conduct deeper carrier reviews directly within the carrier profile will be increasingly valuable for strengthening and documenting carrier selection processes.

Ken Wood, EVP Product Management at Descartes, highlighted the need for repeatable, defensible review practices. He stated that AuditLog provides the structured workflows, documented management escalation paths, and consistent review records required to help teams better mitigate liability by efficiently following established carrier selection procedures. AuditLog is available now for all Descartes MyCarrierPortal customers.
