PCS - TMS and Accounting Software

Overall, it has been a great experience. PCS is starting to provide more opportunities to customers with the new platform and AI capabilities in the future.

Pros

The integration of operating and accounting systems with the drill down feature instantly connection to sources both in operations and in accounting.

Cons

Sometimes the programming assumes 1 scenario and does not address multi scenarios - i.e. carriers changing factoring company where payments are due to prior and future factoring company at same time, multiple drivers on a charter load, financial statement organization - allowing multiple offices to be seen individually on financials with a grand total to allow a manager overseeing multiple offices more visibility.

It is what it is

It served a purpose -it was better than a spreadsheet.

Pros

well, I guess its better than an excel spreadsheet ...

Cons

the cost is not realistically aligned with what is delivered or what the system is able to actually do when compared with other service providers. With a limited ability to pull/produce reports -its nearly impossible to customize reports to get everything that is wanted or needed without pulling multiple variations of a report. It does not grow with a business not is it adaptable to meet a growth orientated needs or wants

Safety Manager

So far so good. Would like to see more Motive integrations as they are the #1 ELD provider. It is easier to train drivers to use one platform system vs. having to use 2 systems for dispatching and documents.

Pros

The accounting and customizable options.

Cons

Mobile PCS express for drivers. I would like to see these functions integrated into more ELD systems. Specifically Motive.

This Software has been a great addition to our growth.

This software is definitely a substantial help to my daily tasks.

Pros

The facility and ease of access to the tabs.

Cons

There are multiple times where the software simply logs us off without warning while we are in the middle of an entry

Response from PCS Software

PCS working well

Team likes it and we do use it everyday but wish that there were more economical on site training or training modules that are more user friendly.

Pros

It has improved efficiencies in our operation and billing programs and there is more to learn.

Cons

Wish there was more training options as we only use about 30% of it.

Best used by Dispatch

Overall we have had a pretty decent experience. It works for our needs.

Pros

Dispatch likes how the features work for their use with dispatching loads and tracking miles.

Cons

The accounting piece is a bit weak in comparison to previously used software. PCS very much caters to dispatch. Also, in order to gain more access to functions offered, we would have to pay more per month for additional functions.

Not specific to tankers / gallons / lbs - more specific to box trucks, flat beds. Can't track last contained.

Great Tool, Poor Customer Support

Overall, the features of the TMS are a benefit to our organization. The decline in customer service since PCS took ownership have been disappointing but not enough of a reason to change yet.

Pros

PCS purchased UltraShip TMS which was intuitive, easy to use, had great order management, shipment creation, route optimization, reporting, and invoicing. All these features remain.

Cons

Customer service has declined precipitously since PCS purchased UltraShip.

PCS has failed to hire and train knowledgeable customer support staff who know the software. There are occasional bugs and issues that we find as daily users. In the past, support tickets to repair would be handled and communicated in a timely manner. We now are required to hold biweekly meetings for updates due to lack of progress and communication.

Carriers are charged an amount to connect to the TMS with EDI, this amount increased 250% since PCS took over. Recently, our carrier made us aware that they paid and sent six emails over two months asking for updates on the setup which were all ignored by PCS support.

PCS Review

I like PCS but their support was pretty bad. It has improved but as with most tech driven companies it is still not great. They have some really great people but maybe stretched too thin.

Pros

I like the TL platform. The LTL platform works okay for our consolidation. Accounting function works well for me. I do not do the day to day accounting work, but the information is need is easily obtainable.

Cons

Not really a fault of PCS but I wish the LTL platform was geared more for consolidation. We have to do several work arounds to make the system fit our needs.

It's ok, not the best but could be better. Software seems outdated and could be updated.

Pros

Simple, can use app for drivers getting loads

Cons

Not very fast. It would be nice if there was more color to highlight certain lines or loads. I feel like it could help make loads pop out more especially when you have 100s a week to put in.
