Dispatch Science Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

Dispatch Science provides us the ability to manage every aspect of our business. Having one system that auto dispatches, plans and optimizes routes, manages receivables, and creates driver settlements is imperative to our success. This software is so user friendly, we were able to train our entire operations team in just a few short hours. We especially like the web based platform that we can log into from anywhere on any device. After researching several options in the market, Dispatch Science provides us with the features, unmatched value and support we needed.

There was a bit of a learning curve switching ERP's, but overall the transition was smooth.

Hello Mathew, Thanks for leaving us this review - we appreciate the feedback. Glad to hear that Dispatch Science is revolutionizing the way you run your business. We love working with your company and look forward to deploying more improvements for you and the team soon!

Dispatch Science provides a very robust platform that covers the following areas: Order Entry, Dispatch Management, Driver App, Automated Routing, Invoicing, Billing and a robust API. This allows our business to do a lot with the system.

There are a bunch of UI enhancements that could be made to improve productivity, but the team is always working on and listening to customer suggestions.

Because it has built in optimization and open APIs, this software opens up capabilities that were simply not available with our old TMS. We can quickly expand the capabilities of the software by creating APIs to automate pretty much any process that we can think of, with the limit being our own creativity. The Dispatch Science team is responsive with requests and is driven to constantly improve the software with monthly updates that expand it even further.

Since this is a newer platform there are definite growing pains with stability issues that show up on occasion, though their team is usually fairly quick to get those resolved. This software mostly matches the feature set of legacy TMS systems but there are features that are still getting built.

We can help our clients win more contracts due to customer data transparency, self populating customer info, Driver tracking, Branded tracking page, customer advance notifications and driver route details on the mobile app so they can be more efficient. Another great feature is loading instructions off the bar code which helps the load-out sequence and optimizes our drivers time on their delivery route.

We experienced a learning curve in using the API but support is always quick to respond and help.

The technology is top end, I am certain without question. I believe we narrowed down to the 2 best companies- and decided on DS based on what I believed to be un rivaled technology. I believed that firmly and believe it every bit as much after the fact.

It is just a hard transition no matter how you cut it. We were not coming from a different service, this was our introduction to the technology. There is a great bit of time and work to implement. They are good at saying it up front, but you still have to live it. We are told at times that our issue is the first they've encountered and therefore they have to build out/ charge us to get it in place. Even if true, I would think they should be building for future customers as well, if it is good for us- it is good for others. For us to pay for that total charge I think is a stretch.
