Pros

“The core platform is strong, and I think continued improvements in APIs, third-party integrations, route automation, and interoperability could make it even more valuable for businesses like ours that operate dynamic delivery and rental fleets.”
PF

Phillip F.

CTO

“I use it in nearly every facet of my job, whether covering the data analytics, keeping track of our assets, communicating with drivers, or pulling video for training or insurance claims.”
TF

Travis F.

Office Admin

“It has given us a much better foundation for managing fleet visibility, GPS tracking, routing, dispatch, and driver operations from a centralized platform.”

Pros

“The entire stack encompasses the entire order lifecycle for both transportation loads and brokerage-logistics loads across all departments: operations, HR, safety, IT, and accounting.”
GG

Glen G.

Director of Technology

“All users across all departments were interacting with the system on a daily basis, and workflows ran smoothly throughout the platform and into integrations with other vendors like Synergize/Microdea, Transflo, Samsara, Microsoft Great Plains, and Cleo for EDI.”
GG

Glen G.

Director of Technology

“Its strengths are twofold: the breadth of features, and the customization capabilities.”

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.”
LK

Leanne K.

Admin Trainer Hours of Service Logs

“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.”
GL

Glenn L.

National Asset Manager

“Lack of speed tracking on detailed overview. When you drill down to the exact location of the truck and can watch it driving you cannot see the speed they are traveling.”
RB

Randy B.

Safety Manager
