Dispatch Science Launches DataBridge, Eliminating Last-Mile's Biggest Integration Bottlenecks
New iPaaS solution transforms complex, costly integrations into streamlined operations for carriers and shippers
Article content
MONTREAL — Dispatch Science, a leading provider of logistics and delivery management solutions, today announced the launch of DataBridge, the company's cloud-native integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that removes the technical and financial roadblocks that often prevent carriers from working with new shippers. DataBridge turns time-consuming, expensive integration projects into fast, manageable processes that carriers can own and scale – without relying on big IT departments or third-party platforms.

With e-commerce growth and supply chain digitization accelerating, shippers now expect seamless data exchange across multiple platforms and formats. But traditional integration approaches lock carriers into expensive development cycles, specialized consulting engagements, and lengthy implementation timelines that can stretch for months – forcing many to lose significant business opportunities as a result.
Article content
'We're seeing an increase in situations where carriers are forced to walk away from profitable business because the cost and complexity of integration makes it impossible to work with new shippers,' said Alex Proteau, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder at Dispatch Science. 'We built DataBridge because we believe carriers should compete on service quality, not on who can afford the most expensive IT projects.'
Article content
DataBridge gives carriers access to the same secure infrastructure and automation capabilities that larger players rely on – without the overhead. Hosted in Microsoft Azure's cloud environment, it levels the playing field by delivering the security, transparency, and reliability that enterprise shippers demand. Even without a dedicated IT team, carriers can now offer a high-standard experience – instantly and seamlessly connecting to shipper systems and automating the exchange of orders, updates, and delivery documents.

The platform also supports a wide range of integration needs, from structured EDI transactions to simple spreadsheet uploads. It includes prebuilt templates, automated workflows, and a drag-and-drop workflow builder that lets teams customize processes without technical expertise.
Article content
One of DataBridge's most impactful features is its ability to connect carriers and shippers in real time. Through its access to Dispatch Science's core data and system activity, carriers can automatically trigger Internal System Actions (ISAs) – 'if-this-then-that' automations that respond to events like barcode scans, driver updates, or delivery exceptions. For instance, if a package is scanned by the wrong driver, DataBridge can instantly reassign the order and trigger a notification. If a driver is running late, the shipper can be notified minutes before delivery – not hours afterward.
Article content
Whether a shipper sends thousands of electronic orders daily or uploads weekly Excel files, DataBridge automatically processes the information and integrates it directly into the Dispatch Science system.

In doing so, DataBridge delivers:

'The logistics industry is moving toward a future where agility determines market leadership – and this level of real-time transparency will quickly become the new industry standard,' continued Proteau. 'Once shippers experience it, they won't go back. And DataBridge gives our customers the flexibility to act quickly, take on more business, and deliver the level of service today's shippers expect.'

The U.S. economy is thriving in spite of tariffs. Will it last?
By just about every indicator, the U.S. economy is holding up remarkably well. When Donald Trump launched his global trade war, economists and markets said his tariff policy would slow the economy, drive up prices and dramatically reduce global trade. And yet, stocks are at all-time highs, the country's employment is strong, its economy is expanding and the expected surge in inflation hasn't materialized. Canada's economy has shown surprising resilience, as well, with consumer spending starting to pick up last month and unemployment declining. Economists told CBC News it's unclear whether the tariffs' impact was overestimated, or if further pain lies ahead. But they say resilience in both countries is fragile, and could be quickly upended if the trade war worsens or expands. A lack of retaliation BMO's chief economist Douglas Porter says two key factors are driving the recent U.S. resilience. "Other nations have not really been retaliating against the U.S., so their own exports are not facing that much pressure. And on the flip side, the U.S. consumer has been pretty heavily sheltered so far from this," said Porter. In the meantime, American businesses have not passed on the costs of tariffs. General Motors, for example, released earnings last week that said Trump's tariff policies drove down profits by 35 per cent in the second quarter. The automaker said tariffs on cars and parts led to a $1.1-billion US loss in its quarterly earnings. But still, it has not increased prices. Royce Mendes, managing director at Desjardins Capital Markets, says that's becoming a trend among affected American companies. "Some companies may choose to just eat the tariff increase in costs rather than draw the ire of President Trump," said Mendes. GM stock fell on the news, but has since rebounded, paring losses and climbing almost all the way back to where it was before it published its earnings. Financial markets have had some pretty volatile sessions, including steep sell-offs when tariffs are announced, and big rallies when exemptions are made. But stock markets in both Canada and the U.S. are at or near record highs — which investors believe is a sign that the resilience we're seeing will last. A stockpile of products The question, though, is whether the impact of the tariffs has simply been delayed. When the levies were first announced last spring, businesses around the world scrambled to get product out the door and into the United States. That has led to a huge stockpile of products — and it means American importers have not yet had to bear the worst of the tariffs. WATCH | The future of Canada-U.S. free trade: Is Canada-US free trade dead? | About That 4 days ago North American free trade is teetering on the edge of uncertainty as U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs continue to complicate how goods come and go. Andrew Chang explores signs that free trade — as we've come to know it — is on its way out, and challenges that may lie ahead in renegotiating the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Images provided by Getty Images, The Canadian Press and Reuters. "There was a lot of front-running and that may be one of the big reasons why we haven't seen much impact yet," said BMO's Porter. "There's probably some pain to come, but I don't think it's going to be as bad as many economists were fretting about earlier this year, at least for the U.S." Canada's economy has shown resilience, too But both economists point to the fact that Canada's economy has also fared better than almost anyone had expected. Economic growth shrank in April, but only by 0.1 per cent. Statistics Canada says another 0.1 per cent decline is likely for May. (Those numbers will be confirmed on Thursday.) The unemployment rate has actually begun to decline since peaking in May at seven per cent. And last week's retail sales figures showed consumer spending had started to pick up again in June. "We've been pointing to this broader resilience in consumer spending," said Claire Fan, a senior economist with RBC. She says consumer sentiment plunged in the spring, at the height of the uncertainty. But since then, RBC crunched U.S. customs data and found exemptions for CUSMA-compliant products have dragged the average effective tariff rate all the way down to as low as 2.3 per cent. "It's a reflection of President Trump's overall strategy of coming out very aggressive early on, but then walking things back. I mean, the tariffs have not been as punitive for Canada as initially believed — nowhere close to it," said Mendes of Desjardins. Sector-specific pain However, real damage has been done in sectors like auto, steel, aluminum and lumber. The concern now is that the carve-outs Canada has secured for CUSMA-compliant products won't last. "Unless a trade deal is reached to significantly reduce U.S.-Canada tariffs by Aug. 1, when new U.S. tariffs are set to come into effect, we expect job losses and higher prices from tariffs to squeeze disposable income and cause households to tighten their purse strings," wrote Michael Davenport, senior economist at Oxford Economics in a note to clients. WATCH | Negotiations continue between Canada and the U.S.: Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, speaking to reporters in Washington, D.C., said Canada will only accept a deal when there is one in the best interest of workers and the Canadian economy on the table. On the one hand, some in the Trump administration will look at the U.S. economy's relative resilience as a reason to double down and push harder for more and more punitive tariffs. But escalation wouldn't just be bad for the Canadian economy. Right now, most businesses and consumers on both sides of the border have been sheltered from the worst impacts of the tariffs. That shelter depends on a fine and tricky balance of importers eating some costs, exporters dropping some prices and countries limiting retaliatory measures. Upending that balance further comes with risks on both sides of the dispute.

Montreal community organizations facing eviction after school service centre terminates leases
Two community education centres, the Carrefour d'éducation populaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles and the Comité d'éducation aux adultes de la Petite-Bourgogne et de Saint-Henri (CÉDA), both located in Montreal's Sud-Ouest borough, are facing eviction after receiving lease termination notices last week. Their landlord, the Centre de services scolaire de Montréal – the province's largest school service centre – is asking the groups to pay $300,000 in unpaid rent and vacate their respective locations in the next 30 days. Adult literacy is a core component of the programs offered by the centres, but after more than 50 years of existence, their services have expanded and they function as community centres, playing an important role in the communities they serve. Hélène Gadoury, director of the Carrefour d'éducation populaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles, described those spaces as "free" and "[where] you can have community, [where] you can have services all at the same place." "It's really important," she said, adding there's a daycare and services for seniors too. WATCH | Montreal community groups want stable source of funding: Montreal community groups try to pressure government for more stable funding 3 minutes ago Community groups are speaking out over what they describe as unstable and unreliable funding from the Quebec government. Alix Marchaut, who works at CÉDA in human resources and accounting, worries about what will happen if the groups are forced out. "If we close, what happens to the food bank? If we close, what happens to the people who want to learn French?" she wondered. "If we close, what happens to the people who just need a space to live and to share and to be supported?" Where it started Rent became an issue after the CSSDM, under financial pressure itself, decided in 2017 to increase the rent of its surplus buildings to reflect market value more closely. However, there was a five-year grace period, so up until 2022, the CSSDM only charged the centres a symbolic rent of $1 per year. Under the lease agreement, the amount for the following year was set at $3.23 per square foot, or $3,082.77 a month for the Carrefour d'éducation populaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles, and $13,459 a month for CÉDA. But since then, it has been indexed annually, with the CSSDM setting the price to be in line with the Consumer Price Index. CÉDA's monthly rent is now $15,084, Marchaut told CBC News, but like the Carrefour d'éducation populaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles, it says it can't afford it. In Quebec, school service centres and school boards receive funding from the government for their school buildings, including for maintenance, renovation or construction of new schools, but that doesn't include surplus stock. Earlier this year, though, Quebec school service centres and school boards were told by the provincial government to put renovation projects on hold due to budget cuts. In the notices served to the Carrefour d'éducation populaire de Pointe-Saint-Charles and CÉDA, the legal team for the CSSDM reiterated the school service centre is a public body responsible for the largest public school network in the province and that it doesn't receive any funding for the maintenance of its surplus buildings. "Although accommodating, our client must account for its finances and act expeditiously in the administration of its income properties," the notices indicated in French. "You will therefore understand that it cannot tolerate, in its income properties, a tenant who refuses or neglects to remedy this situation." Educational mission must remain top priority, Quebec says Last year the Education Ministry came through with emergency funding for the centres, but this year they said they haven't heard anything from the government. "We're just here, stuck in a very bad situation because we don't have the money, but we need to keep going. We need to keep going for the community," Marchaut said. The Comité Social Centre-Sud (CSCS), another community education centre located in the Ville-Marie borough, is facing a similar situation with the CSSDM. The CSCS received a formal notice at the same time as the other centres saying that its lease could be terminated if it failed to pay rent within 10 days. In a statement to CBC News, Bryan St-Louis, a spokesperson for the Education Ministry, said the CSSDM is the owner of the buildings and is therefore responsible for their use. St-Louis also said that school services centres, whose main raison d'être is to educate students, are facing more pressure as the number of students continues to grow, "in particular due to the increase in temporary immigration." If the service centres need the space for students, he wrote in French, their educational mission must always take precedence. St-Louis added, however, that the ministry is in contact with the CSSDM to ensure the best solutions are put in place. But all three groups say it's up to the education minister to fix this. They argue that they are recognized by the government as educational centres and want to be treated like other educational institutions and have access to a space. "It's a right for all adults to keep learning all through their lives," said Gadoury. The community education centres are hoping to sit down with Education Minister Bernard Drainville to find a lasting solution, but are prepared to go to court if necessary. The CSSDM is already embroiled in a legal battle with 13 community organizations in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, which are housed in another of its surplus buildings.
