Functionality

Pros:

We have been using Advantage Route for over 10 years, and it is such a robust program. It makes scheduling deliveries a breeze. Their knowledge base makes it easy to use, with step-by-step instructions on most things. The interface is easy to use, and they also have an additional web-based app or login for customers, making it easy to set up an online storefront.

Cons:

The customer support ticket system sometimes loses responses, delaying customer support. Typically, when you call customer support, 99% of the time you are always greeted by someone, which is rare these days. However, when calling tech support, you are not speaking to a technician, so some questions cannot be answered immediately. The driver app is only available for Androids.

ARS - Tricky

Overall, ARS customer support gets back to us when we use the support team and create new tickets. The knowledge base is a helpful resource when we find an article that is relevant. The software is clunky and ARS seems to prefer to have manual optimization for routes and customers instead of allowing for automated optimization- which could save us time! We spend lots of time sending delivery notices, manually changing schedules and responding to customer requests - in addition to needing to optimize the route every time there is a change.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The knowledge base is very helpful and the we love to use the ability to send emails to customers from their customer account. Customer service communication is usually good.

Cons:

The knowledge base access has changed. The software is clunky, very 1990s vibes. Can be difficult to work with, slow and not much automation. Customers cannot reply to messages we send from their customer account - if we send a general message. This has resulted in more work for us to cc an employee and create an email signature asking the customer not to reply to the “admin@routetools” address that the customer receives the message from us. Knowledge base is dated and finding an article that seems relevant may be dated even 1 year prior, and with updates, the article is no longer relevant. This results in submitting a question to the support team - which is billed and costs us money. There also have been sync issues between ARS and QBO on multiple occasions.

Solid System

For over 15 years we've used their program with no notable complaints. Overall, I feel like I get what I pay for. I've shopped other programs over the years but none have offered enough improved features or savings to illicit change.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

We've been a customer since 2009 so there's a great amount of familiarity and comfort with their system. The program is easy to use and allows for reasonable customization to suit our needs. Customer service, in general, is knowledgeable and friendly.

Cons:

Communication is lackadaisical with occasional lack of follow-through. Some support issues are handled right away, others linger unless pressed. Usually in line with degree of severity. So, while major bugs or issues are addressed in a timely manner, things like assistance with program features will stagnate. Billing makes you feel nickel and dimed. I can appreciate Al a Carte pricing (main program, mapping licenses, handheld licenses, etc.) to try and keep costs to what you're actually using, but it feels like features that used to be included are now held behind higher service tiers or supplemental packages. Also, after their recent merger, their billing polices are almost adversarial. EG: 5% charge for not setting up auto-pay, invoices used to be sent NET30, now they're sent due upon receipt. While these may be justified business practices, they certainly are not customer-friendly.

Affordable

We've been with ARS for about 10 years and have had numerous difficult issues with them, particularly when you find an issue with their software (no matter whose "fault" it is), you get billed and have to argue get the charge removed - this has happened so many times we gave up counting.

Pros:

Advantage Route Systems helped us move away from manual entry of invoices with the ability to generate invoices at time of delivery out in the field, and upload the information directly at the end of the day.

Cons:

It would be nice if invoices did not have to be posted to the customer's account, so that changes could be made at any time, but I understand their reasoning behind posting.

Buyer Beware

Do NOT sign up with this company! One of the worst business experiences that our company has ever dealt with in the 36 years we have in business. Customer service is non-existent, when you need something fixed it always comes with a cost...even when it is a coding or software issue. Their culture focuses on blaming customers for problems rather than coaching and supporting their clients through issues. If you care considering their services, I highly recommend that you keep looking for another provider.
