If they can include posting expense for office, will be good. > > awsome, sales guys are great. kudos to \[sensitive content hidden\] ----- ### "Its a great tms for under 50 employees" — 4.0/5 > **Vlad** | *1 April 2022* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its easy to implement and work on. Have some nice features. > > **Cons**: Slow and lags pretty often. Cannot have it open in 2 windows and it is not well streamlined for 1 screen operation. > > Its a great experience. ----- ### "Great software, very straight forward and intuitive to use." — 5.0/5 > **Chad** | *29 July 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Intuitive and easy to use. Fast and responsive. I did demos of a lot of different software and this one checked all the boxes. Support is very quick to reply and they are very open to changes or feature ideas. > > **Cons**: Because the software has to cater to a large range and size of trucklines and brokers, sometimes that creates extra steps. Two examples, when uploaded a BOL within a load, you have to select the customer or it won't send with the Invoice. Other would be the customer email addresses show up when sending a carrier confirmation. They are unchecked and marked with a RED \! to say don't click this. But I would prefer they weren't there at all. > > Easy to use and understand. Lots of options for customer, carrier and location specific information. Searchability is amazing. ----- ### "I LOVE ASCEND" — 5.0/5 > **JUDAH** | *4 November 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Greta customer service. Very nice. Very easy to use and not a hard learning curve. Has training videos > > **Cons**: there is not much that I don’t like. I really like everything. Maybe the lay-ought can be easier to use . ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/29581/ascendtms?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/29581/ascendtms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
