Smart TMS Reviews

Pros

The thing I like most about this software is the automation, I have used many TMS systems in the past but this one really cuts a dispatchers work down. The system will automatically send updated to customers, connects to edi with various customers and vendors like ch Robinson etc. This software can be integrated with various elds and trackers. Also it automatically collects data from my fuel cards and post it in the fuel expense sections. This makes billing so simple that I can set up with my factor through edi and with one click I can bill all the loads that are pending to bill. My favorite part is that this makes various reports including Profit and Loss statements, this helps me understand how the operation is doing. Great software never seen something like this before. This could be the future of TMS.

Cons

The pricing is a little high but it’s worth it for all the functions it has

Reasons for Switching to Smart TMS

Pros

It looked good and presented well what it said it offered

Cons

So many things that were promised and clearly not really available

Pros

I like loadstop because it is very intuitive , user-friendly and modern interface. It is easy to learn and the work flow is very simple to perform my daily duties. I handle mostly billing and with one click all of my invoices goes to my factoring company and it saves a lot of time for me.

Cons

LoadStop team is constantly building new features but they don't send us any information about those features. I would like to see new manuals or training videos on the features. I spoke to loadstop team about this issue and they have realized that this is a constant issue and they are working on it to get it fix.

Pros

Loadstop is definitely the way to go when it comes to handling mid or large truck fleet. What do I like the most? I think it be a long list let’s ask what I dislike about the software...uhm nothing everything is good about this TMS SYSTEM! [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] of this TMS definitely kept every aspect in mind when making this system for daily user friendly environment.

Cons

There’s are couple of glitches in the system but nothing major best part about all this is [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] are very open to customizing it to the customers tailoring needs and they get on anything you request them right away.

Pros

Easy to use, customized as per our requirement & Customer support is impressive, they always available to help.

Cons

Need to work on SMS feature in LoadStop.

Pros

As I mentioned the smart dispatch is the feature that I haven't seen in any other TMS so far, It offers connectivity to all the load boards available out there.

Cons

I would love to see Shop and Inventory features in the module. I spoke to the product team and they have promised to build these features in 4th quarter of 2021.

Pros

Being able to see all records, drivers info and loads at same time.

Cons

As each business has specific needs , the TMS could be changed easily customized to those needs. There weren't thing I least liked. Improving on daily basic is the key to perfection. Sometimes system is slower due to large data and files uploaded.

Pros

The standout feature of Smart TMS is its exceptional load management capabilities and streamlined functionality.

Cons

One drawback of Smart TMS is the occurrence of occasional glitches

Pros

Driver settlements,easier to handle multiple employee's settlements with one click.

Cons

some glitches about addresses and nothing else

Pros

I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for TMS It's truly remarkable how the meticulous design of TMS minimizes the chances of errors. The incorporation of multiple checkpoints ensures that our schedules and tasks are handled with utmost precision.In a world where efficiency and accuracy are paramount, it's reassuring to know that we have a TMS in place that not only streamlines our workflows but also safeguards against potential mistakes. This reliability significantly contributes to our productivity and success.I believe that the commitment to maintaining such a robust TMS deserves recognition, and I wanted to convey my appreciation for the efforts put into its development and implementation.

Cons

Overall, I have been quite pleased with its functionality and features; however, there is one issue that I've encountered from time to time.Occasionally, the screen tends to grey out unexpectedly while using LoadStop. It's a minor inconvenience, but it can disrupt my workflow momentarily. Despite this, I want to emphasize that I genuinely appreciate the software's performance and capabilities. If there are any updates or fixes planned for this issue in future releases, I would greatly appreciate it.

Pros

its amazing, easy to use! A lot of intergrations!

Cons

nothing everything is perfect! The software is a breeze to use.

Pros

Integration with lots of software of different types. Including LoadBoards, ELD, Tracking, Accounting and other tools.

Cons

As software is still new, some features are still not fully stable and occasional bugs are expected. But, seen the team rollout updates very frequently and quickly being stable alternatives to the established software.

Pros

functions are really simple, easy to pick up .
dispatching is really easy .
my work is cut in half

Cons

no cons so far, we live this software

Pros

We are an asset based company with over 250 trucks. I have used many softwares but always found it difficult to use. LoadStop is a very easy software and it’s integrated with everything that we want in our trucking company. Their support team is always available to help and solve your problems.

Cons

Their integration with netsuite is lengthy process which I would personally want to be done in short time.

Pros

Highly recommend this software. I used many programs before, but this program is helping lot.

Cons

It is fast easy to use.
Helping to make schedule
Auto posting for available equipment
Tells market rate daily.
Tracking drivers 24/7 and many more.

Pros

Clearly, this product was designed by someone who really undertands the business. Every detail of the workflow is accounted for - from sourcing freight, through managing and tracking, to keeping the books. There are other offerings that excel at specific elements, but Loadstop stands alone in providing end-to-end automation that creates a single source of truth and data you can count on to run your business, while also drastically reducing the need for disconnected manual back office processes.

Cons

The features themselves are wonderful, and we even found workarounds to some of the issues unique to our specific company. The reason this is a 4 star overall and not 5 star is simply because this is a startup - and as such, there are perhaps a few more "growing pains" issues than one might hope for - features that don't work the first time, incomplete configurations that need to be worked through, and so forth. This is fortunately offset by a fantastic customer support team, who always respond quickly day and night, and I'm sure as the product matures this will occur less and less frequently.

Pros

Ease of use, intuitive interface, smart integrations.

Cons

A few hang/glitches requiring a refresh.

Pros

Being new to the trucking world, an interactive chat function has been invaluable!

Cons

I'm still looking for a report that will show me a driver balance when established and how many settlements have been processed it which will produce a real time balance due for that initial balance.

Pros

Very user friendly, Consolidating multiple API on one page, Easy to train, Ultimate support,

Cons

Little Lags but support team takes care of it

Pros

- Functionality
- Integrations
- Tracking
- Easy to deploy
- Support listening and open for system improvments

Cons

- Large Functionality has a lot of bugs, that support helping to solve
- Reporting need improvements

Pros

Load Stop has made a major impact on our company operations by reducing too many steps in our previous workflow and providing ample amount of time for company development and work more on customer and driver satisfaction.

Cons

Pros

The ease of use is unbelivable . You cannot get lost in the system as the syetem tells you what to do . The P&L reporting for the trucks is fantastic , payroll is a breeze . This TMS will allow us to save on office admin cost because each dispatcher and admin personel can handle more trucks due to the Smart TMS and ease of use and speed of LoadStop.

Cons

If the expenses had a place for invoice numbers would be helpful .
