EDGAR H.

Manager

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.

“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

Cons

“TICKET turn around time is a HUGE issue for me. When I open a ticket, I am in need of a QUICK resolution b/c the majority of the time, the issues is affecting my drivers logs and they can't drive until it's corrected or fixed.”

Leanne K.

Admin Trainer Hours of Service Logs

“At times, many coaching alerts are generated that are barely actionable. If my team does not have logins or apps, scheduling behavior counseling is time-consuming.”

Charles M.

Operations Manager

“I don't like the battery life on the AG-51 asset tracker when it comes to unpowered fleet assets that are on the road for extended periods of time as the batteries would die and would cause us to lose tracking on assets until batteries could be replaced.”

Glenn L.

National Asset Manager

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.”
