DAT And AscendTMS Bring Fully Digital Freight Transactions To The Masses

BEAVERTON, OR., January 7, 2026 – DAT Freight & Analytics announced that it has launched the full set of Convoy Platform capabilities for InMotion Global’s  AscendTMS platform, a popular cloud-based transportation management system for small and mid-sized freight brokers. 

The Convoy Platform integration provides access to an extensive network of vetted carriers and the ability to execute freight transactions instantly, directly within the  AscendTMS workflow. The integration fully automates load posting, bidding, booking,  tracking, shipment documentation, and payment, so brokers can move more loads with less manual work. 

Brokers also benefit from a pay-as-you-go model, paying only for loads matched and completed within their pricing specifications, with no upfront costs or monthly minimums. 

“Brokers are operating on tighter margins while navigating increasing fraud risk,” said  Bill Driegert, EVP, Convoy Platform, at DAT. “This integration provides AscendTMS users  with the advanced freight automation and fraud-protection technology they need  without a change in workflow or upfront investment.” 

“The future of freight transactions is 100% digital, and this integration extends the value we offer our customers by showing them that future, today,” said Tim Higham, CEO,  AscendTMS. “Brokers can now instantly activate DAT’s Convoy Platform marketplace  from within their AscendTMS account, and experience the time and cost savings that  come with fully automated load matching, transit, payment, and workflow.” 

AscendTMS brokers can access the Convoy Platform integration regardless of whether they are DAT customers. Visit https://ascendtms.com/settings/loadboards to activate the Convoy Platform integration.
