ShipperGuide has streamlined our RFP process and reduced our overall costs

We have had a very positive experience with ShipperGuide. Their team is very engaged in our use of the product and value our feedback.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

ShipperGuide simplified our process of obtaining RFPs from brokers and carriers because we no longer need to email everyone directly. We manage all our RFPs through the application. This saves us hours of work and allows us to broaden our scope in less time to obtain better rates. The support we get from ShipperGuide is very helpful and responsive.

Cons:

There is nothing at this time because our suggestions and concerns are very important to the developer for future improvements or enhancements. They have met all of our expectations.

Reasons for choosing ShipperGuide TMS

The returns we get from this product very much outweigh the costs.

Pros:

Its very convenient and self explanatory. website is very clean if that makes sense. I like the customer support chat they are usually very helpful. Overall i love this program and do thinks its worth having.

Cons:

having to download the BOLS and Shipping Labels to my computer in order to print them out. Customer support chat is kind of slow when responding. Also the edit option to add a pallet after shipment doesn't work what the point of having the option and when trying use it doesn't work and just getting told to cancel the shipment overall and re do it. Very inconvenient.

ShipperGuide TMS

The system worked out great in the beginning, after about 8 months of working great the system started having issues of glitching, creating double loads and not always accurate pricing on the full truck load rate instant quotes. They have a lot of work to do to get this platform to be one of the best. The platform has features others has. The LTL carriers listed are not all of the leading carriers currently are out there.

Pros:

The system is user friendly. Not the easiest to use but it is manageable for new users and individuals that have little experience in the industry.

Cons:

There are too many glitches within the platform that you have to keep an eye out for, or it can cost you or your customer issues with the load.

Reasons for choosing ShipperGuide TMS

There is system as great on the free version I didn't have issues until the paid version.

Reasons for switching to ShipperGuide TMS

Quote Factory Rates were not as competitive, and they are not flexible in the billing.

Vendor Response

Hi Erik, I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues with ShipperGuide and the truck load instant rate providers from our Marketplace. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have. Can you please send me an email (giovanni.battistella@loadsmart.com) with a few slots you are available to talk. I'd love to get more details on your feedback. Thanks! Giovanni, VP ShipperGuide

Great System - Great Company

Overall experience with ShipperGuide has been above and beyond almost all interactions I have had with outside vendors. They respond to issues quickly and provide tons of details. They also work with you to implement new features or fucntions.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Provides real time data on freight purchases and compares rates to the market. ShipperGuide is all web based and requires zero integration into your company systems reducing overall costs compared to a regular TMS system. The system also consolidates bids from multiple carriers in one easy to read space, streamlining the job and eliminating wasted time.

Cons:

Down sides are different user access levels. I would like to see more user options such as a sales portal and/or analyst portal that do not have access to actually book freight or add carriers, but still be able to access the reports and quoting options.

Pros:

Carriers can keep us updated on the load, whether it is picked up, shipped, delivered, ect.

Cons:

There are so many day to day things that make it really hard to use with ease. For example, being able to sort and having things separated rather than linked together. There are also a lot of glitches.
