What are Alpega TMS users saying about the software?

Translot

The overall experience has been great. Executives have been of great support during the implementation phase of the software. It has allowed us for smoothly transitioning all the parts of the delivery process over this tool.

Pros

ITs easy to use and provides visibility to all stakeholders. Furthermore, it reduces our work as it links the company make the delivery and the team internally who receives it.

Cons

That it is not capable to report multiple shipments under one delivery

Roquette-1st in the U.S. to use Transwide

We use just the Call-Off product now, but looking at the TMS product also. Excellent Support in the U.S.

Pros

ease of use for shippers and carriers information organized in a logical format great visibility filter function helps manage shipments

Cons

system goes down and that creates major issues, all visibility is lost, don't know what tenders went through and what didn't. Every day there are Error messages meaning a problem with someone's call-off, I receive all errors (Roquette sites all over the world). Would be great if we could see only U.S. call-off errors.

Review Software

Controlling daily trucks is greatly organized, just needs to be updated.

Pros

Organized, informational, Changeable, Very User friendly.

Cons

Slow, Too many steps, Have to click too many pages to get what information is needed. Needs to have quick access to Daily Schedule upon logging in. Needs to be faster at loading up pages. It would be nice to have an App on phones for easy logging on delivery times and or changes.

Excellent Communication Tool

We were the first U.S. company to start using Transwide. We utilize the tendering product to get our orders to truckload carriers. It saves us a lot of time and errors in the tendering process. Our carriers like it a lot with the 24/7/365 system availability.

Pros

Simplicity of use and clear organized transport order information for the users. Login is fast, easy to add users, TW Support is very reactive and helpful for both Shipper and Carriers. Don't have to keep changing password like a lot of systems. System updates are always done on weekends.

Cons

Screen changes are a bit slow (about 15-30 seconds per screen). Scheduled down time is always planned for best time in Europe so is always during U.S. business hours.

Alpega (Transwide)

Alpega(Transwide) has given me a good experience. It is user friendly and allows my company to conduct business in the manner it needs to, to best serve our customers. The customer service team in Pittsburgh is always willing to help, and make it a priority to help find ways to make the system work more for our needs. CSR is always on top of finding solutions, and if she doesn't know the answer she makes sure to search one and get back to us.

Pros

This software makes it easier for my department to conduct business. It gives a line of communication between our customer service department and truckers in order to ensure the customer is getting their shipments. It is eye appealing and user friendly.

Cons

The notifications are sometimes delayed, on when they are going to have outages.

DLF Asset management solution

We choose a solution that offered more than we needed, and therefore we had to abandon it.

Pros

Very comprehensive solution, offered dock scheduling and inter-company organization on an advanced level

Cons

Difficult to navigate and tailor to needs of particular business

Transwide Feedback

Transwide allows us to manage our business versus our carriers managing our business for us. Demurrage costs have been slashed by 75%.

Pros

Click of a few icons and loading schedules are there and we know what is facing us for the next few hours - until it changes of course based on drivers or customer requirements.

Cons

Logs you out after x number of minutes of inactivity.

transwide

It is easier to use than Schneider National site.

Pros

I can use the reference number to sort my screen by.

Cons

I don't like if I want to use the data option, I have to put in everything every time even though I only have one report. I do not like it times out. (not always 40 in between usage) It is SLOW!!

Alpega - Review

Transwide allows us to communicate with one of our top customers. It plays a significant part on our on-time communication and allows us to track loads that were accepted or cancelled.

Pros

This software is very user friendly. The amount of training needed to navigate is minimum. Everything is very straight through and I like the idea of having different communications tools with all parties involved.

Cons

The amount of notification emails. Alpega sends too many notifications in regards to one single load/event.

Logistics Manager

used to never go down... something has changed

Pros

convenience... I don't have to make apt.

Cons

It has been "down" a lot lately. very hard to make apt. when can't get into software

Decent software

Transwide makes is easy to manage appointments to ensure that our drivers aren't being held up when going to load or deliver.

Pros

It is fairly user friendly, and adding new users is easy. In addition, the support team is very helpful whenever assistance is needed with setting new users up or resolving general issues. Ease of use is the biggest pro of Transwide.

Cons

The system goes down quite frequently, at least once every other week. This is very inconvenient as transportation is a 24/7 industry, and appointments can fill up fast. Another downside to Transwide is that the TW slot facilities are not uniform in terms of what information is required when setting up an appointment.

transwide

i dont like the difficulty making search criterias.

Sometimes when navigating through the system it can be a little slow.

Transwide Review

overall experience is great! No issues with the site..

Pros

The ease of use / user interface is easy to maneuver around the site.

Cons

I don't utilize all aspects about this software so I don't have much input to say. All I do is schedule appointments.

TRANSWIDE PROS AND CONTS

Pros

I enjoy how easy this system is to use and schedule appointments. It is quick and very easy!

Cons

There have been a lot of outages, which holds me up from making appointments.

EASY AND QUICK

AWESOME

Pros

EASY TO LEARN AND NAVIGATE, ONCE YOU LEARN ALL THE FEATURES.

Cons

TOO MANY DOWN TIMES, BUT WE GET HEADS UP ON IT.

Transwide is down!

Emails that inform the site is down with promises of updates within an hour that are many hours later. No indication of when the site is going down, just an apology email.

Pros

Visibility into all of our facilities that use this for scheduling.

Cons

The lack of reliability and the fact that the majority of our carriers do not get the emails about the site being down. When the site is down (lately it has been weekly occurrences) none of our freight can be booked to unload, so our supply chain halts. Unacceptable.

Transwide review

NA we just us it as a 3rd party to coordinate pickup and delivery times

Pros

it pretty simple to use for scheduling apts...

Cons

sometimes its a little cumbersome on canceling an appt in order to reschedule

Value of Transwide

Reduced demurrage costs

Pros

Like the capabilities and ease of tracking shipments

Cons

Could be a little friendlier for the set up stage for schedule, customer service e-mail response could be timelier, recently there has been more unplanned downtime periods

Transwide

Good

Pros

It is the customer that requires we utilize the program, so therefore, we would not be the ones to recommend the program, thus, my answer.

Cons

I have absolutely no issues with this program
