About NOVA

NOVA by Aurora Software is a cloud-based and on-premise transport management solution for small, midsize and large businesses. It is designed for carriers that specialize in truckload, LTL, intermodal, air freight, warehousing or depot operations. Primary features include accounts payables, accounts receivables, auto ranking, billing, document imaging, sales management, dispatch communication and reporting.

Other features include shipment quoting, color coding shipments, route mapping, customer web tracking and customer invoicing. NOVA has built-in modules for tracking vehicle maintenance and fuel and mileage. Summary reports are matched up with individual requirements by state and the system also provides important information about driver and vehicle performance.

Companies can eliminate downtime because they know exactly when vehicles are due for maintenance. Their optional web-portal allows customers to track shipments and retrieve shipping documents (PODs, BOLs, DRs) online. Support is offered via email and over a phone.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The software is made for a carrier and the functionality has been carefully crafted through carrier feedback over the years. Their customer support is second to none, and they'll go out of their way to add new features if it's a reasonable request. This gives the software a "custom" feel, even though it's an out-of-the-box solution.

Cons:

There isn't too much to dislike about the software. TMS systems that cater to the carrier, or in this case, are exclusively for the carrier, are not easy to find. There are a tons of bells and whistles but they are all there to enhance the carrier's user experience.

Great Software

The Aurora Nova Software system is a great tool for those in the trucking industry. But even better than the software is the great group of people at Aurora. They are always pleasant to deal with. They work hard at making sure they understand what your software needs are, and provide solutions within their software system. Thanks Aurora team for your great support over the years.

AURORA

Having an easy software to deal with is very helpful to new hires that are not familiar with the system. The support team is very helpful and knowledgeable about any questions we have. Customer service executive was always prompt to return calls and always available to assist. He was very knowledgeable and always solved problems. He is very dedicated and cares about his position within the company.

I appreciate the continuity of Aurora software. Once we have it completely implemented, it will help with office efficiency and a much-improved workflow. Aurora is user friendly and easy to navigate.

I knew the transition from our old software to new software would be time-consuming. This is the only issue I am having, however that has nothing to do with the software.
