Ditat · ditat.com · Same buyer and same workflow: Ditat sells dispatch, load execution, EDI, accounting, and driver apps to carriers and brokerages, the operations layer DAT is pushing into through Convoy Platform and its TMS integrations.[3][7]

Tai Software · taisoftware.com · Named together in a market map: Tai TMS is the broker system of record that DAT chose to integrate Convoy Platform into, which makes it both a distribution channel and a competing place where broker workflow and data live.[7]

Parade · parade.ai · Same buyer and same job to be done: Parade sells broker-side automation of carrier calls, emails, and qualification, the exact broker workflow DAT is automating with Carrier Management Suite and Convoy Platform.[14][15]
