Pros and cons

This product was easy to use, we made sure the integrations were successful, and their team was great to work with.
This is a great software with good technical support when you need it. Product is very easy to use compared to other software I have used in the past.
Excellent hands on training and dedication by the PCS team to train our employees on the best practices and provide tools to utilize the system in order to reduce manual labor and admin work.
API integrations with other providers is hit or miss. We were not able to provide real-time GPS updates for some of our larger brokers, so we have to rely solely on our ELD platform to do that.
If they all happen on the same payroll, I'm limited to only one selection.
I used to use a premium accounting software that was separate from my dispatch software, but with PCS it's automatic with no double entry.

Great product!

Reviewed 2 years ago

I am overall very pleased with PCS. It is efficient to view both loads on the schedule and loads currently in progress. The Fleet and Accounting functions are also easy to learn and use.

Pros

I like that it is easy to use, somewhat customizable, and customer service is very helpful. It was easy to integrate and get started quickly.

Cons

It would be nice if there was a separate contact field to indicate who sent a specific order when dealing with customers that have many agents. It is also expensive per user license.

Vendor response

Jason your review means the world to us! We are so happy to hear that you've been using TMS Carrier Express and have found the system easy and efficient to use. Regarding your comment about sperate contact field, please reach out to our team. We would love to hear how this feature could help your day to day. -PCS

Good option for our fleet

Reviewed 9 months ago

Overall we are satisfied with PCS. Support issues are generally resolved in a timely manner.

Pros

Express is an all-in-one platform from dispatch to invoicing.

Cons

API integrations with other providers is hit or miss. We were not able to provide real-time GPS updates for some of our larger brokers, so we have to rely solely on our ELD platform to do that.

PCS TMS Review

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, the experience has been great.

Pros

The PCS TMS is user friendly to manage the burdens of fleet management, regulatory compliance, personnel, owner-opertors, and accounting needs.

Cons

I don't know that there is one thing that I least about the software - if I had to ask for an improvement it would be - could I see the entire balance in the checking account when I open the account register instead of just the dollars amount.

Vendor response

Hi Jheri, We are so happy PCS has helped your day to day operations. We strive to keep the experience excellent! Your review means the world to us!

RCJ Transporte y Logística,

Reviewed 2 years ago

It really has not been of much help, both in the management area and users, both in Dispatch, Accounting among others. It is our software that we use daily

Pros

Very simple and you can interact with both accounts, in our case, and it helps you to integrate almost everything in a single page but with many options to use

Cons

That I can't interface with other programs like Quick Books. At least i don't know

Vendor response

That is great to hear Elias! Thank you for your feedback and we would love to help you integrate Quick Books as well. Look out for one of our team members to contact you regarding this so we can help set it up for you.

Great Program

Reviewed 3 years ago

We've been with PCS since 2000 and wouldn't think of using any other TMS.

Pros

Flows well from booking the loads to A/R, A/P, Payroll, etc. The TMS is designed to use the keyboard to move through the various windows reducing the amount of mouse pointing. The predictive text makes it very easy to complete any form quickly.

Cons

I would like to see more options regarding carriers. Setting default pay options similar to company driver options would be one improvement. We work with the same carriers on a daily basis and have to enter their pay percentage for every load. This could be improved.

They do an excellent job...all staff is very satisfied.

Reviewed 3 years ago

Our old software was 2 different programs & they did not talk to each other so fleet maintenance had to be manually input into the other program this one handles all aspects of running a trucking company.

Pros

All features of this software are great Dispatch & Accounting & Fleet maintenance. It is very user friendly. It was a very easy transition when we bought the software.

Cons

We have been using this software for years & they keep improving it so we have not found anything we don't like about this software.

Best Product At Any Price

Reviewed a year ago

PCS allowed my team to absorb a 140% increase in volume with very little additional headcount in the Operations area and "ZERO" increase in the back office expense.

Pros

The ease of implementation allowed for a quick transition from prior TMS at little to no integration expense.

Cons

Like most transportation entities, we operate outside normal business hours and the technical support during the "off hours" is lacking - but not needed more than a few times in the past 12 months.

Vendor response

GREAT to hear that your business is growing, and that PCS has helped ease you through that transition. Thanks again!

PCS is great in that everything I need on a daily basis is at my fingertips in one place.

Cons

It does not happen often, however; it is frustrating at times when entering a bill, if you tab through too fast and don't assign it an account, it will freeze and I have to "end task" to get it to close and then re-open the program.

Cons

The clearing loads section could go back to pulling up the next record in line and the operator not having to manually key the next record. Also, need help with the repoing--I do not understand this item.

TMS & YMS

Reviewed 4 years ago

Locating trailers sometimes requires looking in several YMS locations. Late code changes and reviewing requires too many mouse clicks.

Pros

I like the ease with which I am able to pull reports.

Cons

I dislike the number of mouse clicks it take to change and review a late code. I feel as though I'm developing carpal tunnel syndrome in my right index finger, due to all the clicking.
