Ascent, a leading global logistics company, unveiled its new digital platform and product suite, PEAK 2.0, focused on simplifying the user experience and providing real-time visibility to its customers. The company also revealed a rebrand designed to underscore its tech-forward strategy.
“Ascent’s new platform simplifies our customers’ management of their supply chains by putting visibility at the center of our TMS. Customers will find a more immersive and simplified user experience with PEAK 2.0,” said Tomasz Jamroz, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer for Ascent.

PEAK began development in 2018 and has evolved from extensive research and input from Ascent customers. It enables customers to have connectivity across their entire supply chain and Ascent’s multiple service offerings. PEAK’s goal is to create a frictionless user experience based on simplicity, seamless integrations and intuitive UI/UX.
“We found that our customers are multitasking with several complicated applications and juggling the status of their shipments throughout the workday. They told us they want to open one application and see at a glance where their shipments are and if something is running late,” said Jamroz. “We are thrilled to roll that offering out today.”

PEAK 2.0 technology will also give shippers control over how they view their data. Among newly available tools are customizable dashboards and data visualizations, shipment bookmarking, live tracking, integrated communication tools, document management, spending tracking and ERP integration.
“As supply chains become increasingly complex, Ascent’s customers will be empowered to manage not only costs but also the time spent by their teams to keep everything flowing. We look forward to doubling the size of our technology team in 2022 to continue to support these efforts,” Jamroz added.
“Our new technological capabilities, combined with our history of industry-leading customer service, positions us strongly to continue delivering excellence for our customers in 2022 and beyond,” Jamroz concluded.
