Pros

“The system helps streamline transportation operations by bringing dispatching, load management, invoicing, and reporting into one platform. While there is a learning curve for some advanced features and the interface could be more modern, it has improved efficiency and made day-to-day workflows easier to manage.”

Yatin K.

Fleet Manager

“It handles fleet management, tracking, dispatch, and daily operations quite smoothly, making it a useful tool for companies looking to streamline their workflow.”

Aman P.

Associate

“I particularly appreciate the tracking feature, as well as the simple and user-friendly navigation, which makes daily operations much easier.”

Aakash J.

Dispatch Associate

Pros

“The ability to run reports and have clear visibility into operations is a big advantage, and the integrations really enhance the overall functionality of the system.”

Jullisa K.

Freight Broker

“The affordability doesn't come at a loss of service. since day one I have been getting hands on support and guidance.”

Lorenzo A.

Founder and CEO

“Also the learning center are really helpful to find more instructions step by step with videos and simple guidance.”

Luis R.

CEO

Cons

“One more thing, we can send invoices to customers but in the email that PCS sent, there's no receiver email address stated. When we forward the invoice email that we sent out from PCS to the customer to prove that we sent it out, they always say they didn't receive it, pointing out there's no receiver email address on it.”

Jack R.

Accounting Specialist

“The system performance is slow, lacks user-level customization options, and offers limited flexibility for third-party app or API integrations.”

Abdul S.

Assistant Manager

“My overall experience with PCS TMS has been mixed. While the system offers useful features and supports various operational areas such as maintenance and fuel management, its performance can sometimes be slow.”

Abdul S.

Assistant Manager

Cons

“Im sure that's A.I. but can be annoying.”
