Pretty Smart TMS with a great Marketplace
We as brokers, have shipments all over USA. General experience is great managing loads, doing overall tracking rating and even documenting. Few extra features are still in the wishlist, such a better APIs and some custom developments that other TMS options have.
PROSthey use several tools such and natural language processing for email quoting and machine learning algorithms to automate regular logistical issues.
CONSThe APIs for carriers are not great, as they do not allow small carriers to participate in the integration and also it reduce API dispatch request for big carriers such as UPS. They are continuesly developing and improving, but it requires a few details to be a super great tool.
Reason for choosing Tai TMS
Initial implemenation was faster and the use of Machine learning, and artificial intelligence that translates in a more efficient operations team.
Reasons for switching to Tai TMS
A better user interface and the option of offering a customer front end or customer portal to self manage their loads and shipments.
Vendor Response
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to review our software. We would love the opportunity to chat with you about the problems you are having with API to get this resolved. Our customers utilizing API automation for LTL have been extremely happy with the direct integrations and we would like to make sure everything is working properly for you. Would you be open to reaching out to our support team to set up a meeting? Just tell them you would like to talk with Sean about your APIs.

Concept Logistics - Justin Smith Review
I really like TAI and the people at TAI, unfortunately the turnover has resulted in TAI losing many of their good people and I am yet to see where the AKKR investment has resulted in "more support" like we were promised. Still waiting on a response for the Key Bank testing sent last week and followed up. We also have some challenges with the fact that EFS left bills unpaid that neither TAI or AKKR will take responsibility for, even though we paid and our clients paid us for the load to EFS, but EFS not paying the carrier has come back to us. We already ate $600 with UPS, and I just heard about another couple almost 1 year old that FedEx is invoicing to our client. At what point does that stop and TIA or AKKR do the right thing? I don't know that I'm going to be as willing to eat the loss on these FedEx ones.
PROSI like the LTL modules and functionality a lot, and I really like the POTENTIAL I see on the Truckload side of the system. Custom reporting and Front Office are an upside, but there are a few items in both that need to be updated and baked fully.
CONSFront Office capabilities need to be fully baked (Mode Filtering & Carrier Front Office view). The Truckload modules are becoming less "LTL-like", but this is still where the biggest gap is. Although Truckload Quoting screen and automation are on the cutting edge, some of the Truckload basics just simply aren't there, and we've submitted much feedback that goes unanswered. The reporting is also a challenge, seems like a lot of work went into that 2+ years ago, but some of the challenges we expressed with "Shipped Reports", "Custom Reporting", and even the "Profitability Report" are limited and don't always generate the same numbers as other more detailed reports. Some of the TL statuses will help us minimize the "play in the joints", but at the moment our President is second guessing the numbers. We also haven't received great communication since the buyout and turnover, with Mitch having to reschedule a meeting twice and we haven't found time to hope back on in months.
Reason for choosing Tai TMS
Same answer as why we chose to switch. Truckload seemed to be closer to where we needed it at the time, but still a lot of work needed there.
Reasons for switching to Tai TMS
Needed to capture LTL and have an intuitive Front Office.

Spoof Reviews
Unsatisfactory
PROSThe main feature we needed was creating and sending rate confirmations to our truckers. There were too many moves and clicks to attempt to make a rate con. It slowed us down and our in-house method for this turned out to be much more effective than their TMS.
CONSSPOOF REVIEWS. Out of 102 GOOGLE reviews - 81 were all uploaded - 7 mos. ago. Beware of fake reviews. TAI TMS will string you along and even if it's determined that their TMS will not work for your company - they will still charge you for months. The training is subpar and outsourced overseas. We were in for about $6K, and after months of trying to make it work, we couldn't even make a rate con in a timely manner. We asked upper management if we could just move on - and they never responded but have charged us over $2K this month and plan on charging us another $2K for June. So we are out over $10K and got absolutely nothing out of their TMS. It doesn't work for our freight brokerage, but they have their "contract" in place to drain your bank account.
Reason for choosing Tai TMS
They put on a good show. But the product didn't work for our brokerage.

I am not, I just have issues.
PROSIt works most of the time. It is very basic, easy to train people on.
CONSYou have an LTL system that tries to capture FTL as well Constant changes like the quote sheet that offers nothing in return. Extreme delay in IT getting back to you System going down frequently Accounting features are archaic Everything I have asked for to make the site more user friendly has been denied System doesn't communicate with Macropoint correctly
Reason for choosing Tai TMS
I didn't make the choice. But I am making choice if we are switching to a different system
Vendor Response
Hi Rick, Thank you for your feedback. Our next release is four weeks away and we have some exciting new features that will be added to the Full Truck Load platform. We hope these new changes will improve the user experience. Additionally, If you are having trouble with shipment tracking, we have our own app-based tracking system, Tai Mobile. This tracking software is very easy to add to the TMS and is a fraction of the cost of any other mobile tracking tool on the market. We would love for you to reach out to our client success team with any additional feedback so we can try to improve your experience.

System Review
Our team likes the software for the ease of use and operational efficiencies that we gain. Having the Truckload Quote screen has allowed the team to stop using notebooks and Excel sheets and keep everything digitally in the system. The ability to have a tracking link that our customers can use has helped tremendously each day for visibility. We are able to train and deploy tenured users within a couple of hours compared to other systems that can take days.
CONSThe system could use a detailed search function inside of the Truckload Search screen.
Reason for choosing Tai TMS
We felt that we would gain a lot of operational efficiencies through TAI and the UI was easy to navigate. We also liked the size and direction of TAI where we would be able to form a good partnership with their team and grow with them. We did not have this ability with the larger players where everyone is just another number to them.
Reasons for switching to Tai TMS
We were searching for a long term partner that had more integration capabilities. We also needed a system that could plug into our parent companies system for accounting purposes.

Put the time in to learn it and you won't be disappointed.
My overall experience has been terrific. The support and sales staff at Teknowlogi are ready and willing to help wherever you may need. They are responsive and attentive. Overall I'm extremely satisfied.
PROSHandles all aspects of your transportation management. Quoting, booking, electronic dispatching, invoicing, carrier management, all in one place. It really just does everything you need a TMS to do. It's scalable to any size organization. Integrates with numerous systems. Also, the activity log allows you to track down any issues to the point of origin.
CONSIt takes a bit of time to get comfortable with all the features. But really this isn't a con, you just have to put in the time to learn it.
Reason for choosing Tai TMS
The ability to manage a broker/shipper relationship.
Reasons for switching to Tai TMS
We needed a more robust solution that included EDI support.

Teknowlogi - Operations’s And Customer Service Review
I am happy with the software and customer service . I’m excited to see what new advances you have in store to help streamline even better and faster. I like how you are constantly improving the software based on trial and error and suggestions by customers.
PROSThe software has a lot of great necessary functions that help streamline our operations. The outline of the system is multifunctional which allows us to handle shipment s easier and faster . We haven’t really dove into every aspect of the software but we home to engage in new areas of service which I’m sure the software will come in handy . We like the ability to duplicate order quickly and to have our favorite shipments saves for future use. We like how easy it is to add access Orioles and input cost and billing . We like how fast we can invoice multiple orders at once. We like how it looks professional.
CONSThere are sometimes issues we have with the PDF converter . Also, we have some commissions recalculating issues after an invoice has been created . Not sure why this happens to only certain loads . Overall we are happy. And if we do have an issue someone is always on the other end of the phone to assist me.
Reason for choosing Tai TMS
Been a long standing customer and have followed the programmers since the beginning. I have a lot of suggestions that I have offered based on what I feel would help us and i hope that plays a role In the future of this technology.

Great software for a fast-pace Transportation Team!
Teknowlogi's system provides a perfect balanced turn-key product that is not only high-end but also offers exceptional ease-of-use that adds to the value of increased productivity. There are plenty of TMS systems that are lacking certain features. Teknowlegi has done their due diligence to implement the right tools that a shipper, 3PL, or Broker needs. As a user in this fast-paced industry, we can secure more business based on the needs of the industry and make customers happy by making transportation as easy as possible.
PROSTeknowlogi's system is very straightforward to use. They have managed to implement the perfect tools that a shipper needs at time of booking, but also after booking. The ease of tracking and tracing, including the Pro-number live tracking is by far the best and my favorite feature. It decreases the time spent waiting on phone calls or emails with carriers, thus increasing productivity.
CONSMy only request would be for an alert to populate if freight is outside of the disclaimers or standard dimensions.

Hi Eunice, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us an online review. We are so happy to hear that automation has made the shipping process easier for you. A lot of work has gone into developing the automation and it is so good to hear that our customers are seeing the benefit. Thank you for your suggestion as well. We will make sure to add this to our list of topics for our next round of updates.

Not perfect, but the best TMS we've tried by a mile
Most off the self TMS solutions are lacking something critical. Focused only on truckload solutions. Or LTL solutions. Or absent integration options. TAI TMS is the right combination of these back end requirements.
PROSInterface is very easy for our team to use. It has good EDI connectivity and handling of both LTL and TL workflows. Mostly intuitive and new features are always being added. Reporting is very customizable, which allows transparency with our team about costs, margins, and trends.
CONSClient interface needs significant improvement to be useful for our business. This single improvement would allow far greater integration into our business, which would allow our clients greater visibility adding value and commitment .

Overall great experience with the Teknowlogi TMS solution
Our biggest gain with the TMS is the fact that we spend less time auditing shipment invoices. The TMS has great features that automate the billing process speeding up the auditing of LTL invoices. This has greatly helped our teams to ensure shipments are billed correctly and avoiding delay with billing or incorrect billing in most cases. As a result of many of the improved features of the TMS we continue to see our teams spending less time manually performing daily steps within quoting/booking/auditing/billing and spending much more time helping our customers and seeking new business.
PROSWe love the automation features and the ability to quickly manage shipments from quote, book to invoicing. The API functionality is extremely fast allowing our team the ability to quote shipments at a fast pace, provide customers with quick solutions and help us to manage shipments from book to invoice in record time.
CONSMore of a wish list, the system is great for LTL shipments however for small parcel shipping we still have many manual steps that the system cannot yet automate such as building parcel shipments using UPS and Fed Ex. The system can be manually updated but doesn’t yet have the capability to automate the quote, book and audit/invoice parcel shipments.

Long Time Happy user
(continued from cons field). really like with our other TMS provider. A sales dashboard/CRM. - Ability to duplicate a load as many times as you need to. Many of our customers will send us lets say 40 of the same loads. Right now we have to sit there and individually duplicate each and every load 40 times. Overall Experience with TAI. - My experience over the last 5 months has been way better than it was the previous 4.5 years. I really like a lot of the new features as well as learning about a lot of features that we were just not utilizing. Every thing has been great, customer service has been great with us.
PROSWe have been using TAI for almost 6 years, over those 6 years we have seen TAI continue to make changes and listen to their customers to make their TMS Platform as user friendly as possible. For our company and our operations teams, the name of the game is how quickly can we get in and out of a load, how quickly we can update the status of a load, how quickly we can send a rate confirmation or BOL. The less clicks it takes equals less time spent on each load, allowing each operations person to handle more loads. Very easy to use for our customers in the customer facing portal. Give our customers the ability to have visibility to all their loads and track them effortless by clicking on PRO#'s allows us to separate ourselves from the competition.
CONSTAI is on the more expensive side from other TMS providers that we use, would like to see a tier'd system. We only use TAI for about 50% of our business right now. As we continue to grow and if we decided to bring over the rest of our business it would get quite expensive per month for us. A few features I'd like to see that we have really grown to like on another TMS. - ability to send an automated carrier onboarding packet to all the carriers we are booking daily that we need to get set up. If we could have our packet in the system and the ability to send carrier onboarding packet so the carrier can receive, electronically sign and add their w9, MC Certificate, and Insurance and then have it upload into the TMS and advise us by email that it has been completed. - Would like to see a rate confirmation that we can send and the carrier can ESign the carrier confirmation (which i think you have already), but we need a way to know that the rate confirmation was signed. We are sending 100's of confirmation's a week, we need to know that the carrier's signed them after we send them. - The thing I would LOVE to see is the ability to open multiple loads, when you open a new load it would open a new tab in the web browser. Brokers, Account Mangers, Operations teams, are taking calls all day booking loads, many times selling one load to a carrier while another carrier calls in to book another load, would be nice to be able to switch back and forth from loads, this is something we
