PCS Express helps to streamline
It's been a good experience the last few years. Without Express, we'd still be spending dozens of hours weekly just typing up invoices within Quickbooks.
PROSThe biggest thing that we love about Express is the auto-rating features. It makes training new billing clerks a snap, because we don't have to show them the intricacies of each different customer. Further, we really enjoy the access to load information. You get back what you put in, so if you add all the information on a BOL, it means you can easily search for that information when you really need it.
CONSIt's not built for Canadian companies, and you have to manually add GST to each invoice which can get tedious.
Reason for choosing PCS TMS
Better price point, better functionality, and the team seemed very committed to training us how to use the software properly.

With over 2 years experience using PCS
PCS has stopped almost all double entry and tracking for my business. We can easily track all our assets and transactions.
PROSPCS offers a complete accounting product with easy to use modules and ready to run reports for auditing and tracking your financial progress. Driver payroll works great, but best of all the fuel and escrow balances work so well behind the scene making things simple and reliable.
CONSI used to use a premium accounting software that was separate from my dispatch software, but with PCS it's automatic with no double entry. If I have anything negative to say about the accounting and payroll, the payroll is too restrictive and limited. I use a payroll service whose tax computations never match PSC and therefore we have to make a journal entry to wash things out correctly. When I say limited, I'm referring to the number of fields allowed for additional pay like Bonus, Vacation, Holiday. If they all happen on the same payroll, I'm limited to only one selection.
Reasons for switching to PCS TMS
PCS stopped the double entry and added on-line access and I needed a more up-to-date product.

Thank you for your feedback, we really do appreciate it!

All talk no go
They are very bad to do business with
PROSmobile app somewhat seemed to work for drivers documents scanned directly into the load
CONSI believe that [sensitive content hidden] misrepresented the PCS Software to me when he was selling us on the product.1. It is not easy to use, many times we need to find work a rounds which means more work.2. The software has never integrated with Omnitracs like it was sold to us (attached is the email that we get everyday reminding us that it does not work like sold to us)3. The software does not move loads between the brokerage and trucking side (load share) without a lot of work and it doesn't allow the brokerage to make any money unless we change amounts after we move the load. Which means another work a round. We have to manually map every location when sharing a load which means more time and a slower system.4. The more stops on a load the slower the software runs5. [sensitive content hidden] has not reached out to us since last week when I demanded someone to talk to convince us to continue using this software. (I'm guessing nobody cares about PCS software or its customers)6. The Drivers Application is not really an application. Again misrepresented7. [sensitive content hidden] knew we were at go time last Friday[sensitive content hidden] and he knew we were not up and running with an error free system and we haven't heard anything from him. (again not living up to the exceptions that were conveyed went [sensitive content hidden]was selling us on PCS)8. PCS Software locked us out of our account with out any conversation or knowledge of them doing this. very very bad business model
Reason for choosing PCS TMS
[sensitive content hidden] over sold and the software under delivers

Fast, Robust, Dynamic
Excellent hands on training and dedication by the PCS team to train our employees on the best practices and provide tools to utilize the system in order to reduce manual labor and admin work.
PROSPCS has been a wonderful platform to work with. The training is robust with a lot of hand on videos and webinars. The roadmap shows that PCS is determined to continue to enhance the software to meet the needs of the industry. We enjoy the security and reliability of a cloud base system and the price point meets our company needs.
CONSIf for some reason the software goes down, which is rare but can happen, the company is at a stand still and cannot jump to a backup on the fly.
Reason for choosing PCS TMS
Fast, great layout and ease of use. Born in the cloud

PCS for Carriers (Trucking Business)
Relaying on my experince, I would have to say that PCS can be a part of Trucking Business with its accurancy, clearness, easy to access all neccessary files or get them in a very short time.
PROSDriver Payroll layout I liked most, because you can use it for 1099 and other purpose. That's most important thisng in trucking at the end of year calculation taxation.
CONSThere is not feature I disliked so far. But I have a recommendation, if you want to generate one driver's working period of 1-3 months you have to open each Payroll Batch one by one. What I am going to say is that feature should be reviewed that user can generate one driver's full settlement in single tab or option etc.
Reason for choosing PCS TMS
We did a lot of researches using other TMS softwares, and in the final we got PCS and found that is most reliable software for Trucking Business Industry.

What I like in PCS TMS
I love customer support. They are ready to help whenever I have a question. Hi, John!
PROSFleet related features. It lets you add equipment to the software and allows to open work orders, with prices for parts and labor. PCS also has a good storage that helps to keep invoices, pictures and reports in it! Good "Unit" system. You are able to add a driver, truck, trailer and a company and just click on it when you need it to assign it
CONSI would say that people who are not familiar with its interface, would not accept PCS. It seems to have an old interface. But in the business, you use what works, right?
Reason for choosing PCS TMS
Load stop is not worth it. Our sister company changed PCS to Load Stop. I see how their employees are suffering from this decision :(

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.
PROSPCS purchased UltraShip TMS which was intuitive, easy to use, had great order management, shipment creation, route optimization, reporting, and invoicing. All these features remain.
CONSCustomer 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.
PROSI 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.
CONSNot 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.
Reason for choosing PCS TMS
We chose PCS because of the LTL trip building. At the time it was not that common and this was easy to use.

It has integration with most of vendors. Automaticaly deducting fuel usage.Tracking through KT ELD. PC miler integration. Best thing is free mobile app through which we dispatch loads to drivers. Not sending rate cons and exchanging lots of emails. One click and driver has all the info.

15 Years Strong!
PCS has been an awesome experience and partner for Transco Express Corp.
PROSPCS has allowed us to grow with ease. As we have added terminals, installing and training new employees has been a breeze. The training videos and support provided by PCS is above and beyond any other. Transco Express has grown from 2 trucks to over 150 trucks. PCS has been with us every step of the way.
CONSThis is a hard question. I am trying to pin point an area that PCS can improve on. However, I am struggling to do so. I really have no issues with PCS at all.
