What does Direct Exchange (UCS DEX/UCS) mean?

Direct Exchange (UCS DEX/UCS) is a shipping method used by carriers to transport cargo directly from one shipper to another without any intermediate stops. This method is typically used for time-sensitive or high-value cargo that requires a fast and secure delivery. The UCS DEX/UCS system is an electronic data interchange (EDI) platform that allows shippers to exchange shipment information with carriers and other trading partners in real-time, enabling greater visibility and control over the shipping process.
