AssendTMS is helping us grow and develop our business.
So far I don't have really any complaints. Its easy to use and train staff on. It's simple enough that everyone can adjust and start using it within just a few minutes of training.
Pros
The ease of use and how stream line it is to just strart and get everything going.
Cons
Wish you could split loads easier. Should be a feature for splitting a load between two carriers.
Reasons for choosing AscendTMS Logistics Software
They had a ton of good reviews online and a strong following.

Maria is the best...
Overall, it has been a great experience. I would recommend Ascend TMS to anyone looking for a new TMS system.
Pros
It is very robust. It allows me to build loads as simple or complex as I need. Whether it is a 1 pick 1 drop load, or a 12 stop load with detention and layover charges to different parties, Ascend lets me build loads however I need for them to be.
Cons
The only downside that I have found so far is that there is not a mobile application for the TMS board. There have been a couple situations over the past several months where I was away from the office and could have used a mobile application to build a load on my phone, but that was not an option because the mobile web version did not store all of the locations and carriers that the desktop version stores.
Reasons for switching to AscendTMS Logistics Software
Tab Bank bought BAM, and we were kind of made to switch.

Good For What You Pay
Overall the TMS allowed me to get up and running, but as we continue to grow, we've reached the point of needing to find a TMS that fits our needs. This is a great startup TMS, but realistically anyone who does over $1 - $2 mil in rev will outgrow the TMS fast.
Pros
This software allows you to get up and running fairly quickly, customer service is good when they are open and you can reach someone to talk with. They always seem to be doing updates which is a good thing I suppose.
Cons
Your always told their doing updates which is a good thing, there is never any type of notice when changes are made, what the changes are that are being made, and if you work on the weekend you can't reach anyone. Today particularly systems are down, been down for over an hour, can't reach a single person for support, help, and prevents you from doing your very basic freight functions. As a business owner, paying hourly employees, independent brokers can't help their clients and customers, this snowballed very quickly and go out of control. Would be nice if we knew what changes were done, when support tells you they will submit a change and get back to you when the change will be done that there was follow through, that you could get support when needed, and have help as the system can be clunky and super temperamental at first. Especially with being a premium user.

Hi Shawn - thanks for the review. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. In the last 5 years years we've been down for less than 44 minutes TOTAL. So, I don't think it was AscendTMS that was down, it was likely your Internet connection. Regarding size of our customers, our largest customer is a $9 billion distributor with 360 DC's and 3 separate logistics offices in North America. So, we can definitely support both the biggest logistics operations as well as the smallest operations like yours (hopefully you'll make it to $9 billion one day, too . We are glad you're using AscendTMS, Shawn. We'll keep adding more and more features - AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE THE HIGHEST RATED TMS SOFTWARE ON THE PLANET!!

I Love The Software!!
Overall my experience has been a great one with this software.
Pros
I love almost everything about this product! It is a very robust and feature filled software that makes it easy to manage your fleet, orders, customers, shippers and pretty much every thing in your day to day!
Cons
One thing that I don't like is that the IFTA reporting isn't as robust as I would like it to be.
Reasons for switching to AscendTMS Logistics Software
It was a decent piece of software but it was very expensive and the customer service was horrific.
