Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Fast Forward TMS offers real-time load tracking, automated dispatch, compliance management, seamless billing, and a driver-centric mobile app. Its affordability and advanced features provide unmatched value for carriers.

Cons

  • Some niche customization requests may take extra time to implement, though support is responsive.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - Ability to customize communication, tasks, assignments, documents, and workflows using the toolsets available. No developer skills needed. - Automate simple and moderately complex workflows using a wide array of triggers and action presets. (Office teams can handle much higher volumes with this system.) - Some AI features available (such as TAI Assistant for reading and processing emails) - Report almost any datapoint using custom reporting - Constantly adding new features and integrations
  • The TMS is intuitive and easy to use. Lots of customization options as well to fit your workflow. Anything that isn't working properly is swiftly addressed by their support team and usually resolved within a couple days
  • I like that it's cloud based, their api capabilities, and their willingness to integrate with other vendors.
  • Very customizable system, with great open API connections. All established partnering/like companies that you'd want to connect are normally already connected which makes onboarding them super easy. We like the ability to add custom alerts, customer portals, assignments, and the activity log.
  • Cannot give you any pros as the onboarding process failed therefore I never managed to actually used the system.

Cons

  • - So much customization that it can be a little overwhelming at first (onboarding, knowledge base, and support definitely help though) - Some new features and integrations need additional fine tuning after they go live.
  • Some limitations if you aren't willing to pay for custom projects.
  • Sometimes it seems like the pages can load a bit slowly. On the search page I would prefer if it didn't presearch a bunch of orders and would only execute the search once I've entered the parameters I want.
  • The support team can be slow to solve problems, don't always have the best skills of breaking down the problem without you walking them through it fully. The after hours or vacation fill in schedule is extremely disappointing as we didn't hear from support on a MONEY issue within the system for a week since the lead was on vacation.
  • TAI failed miserably in defining a time table to enter data so my organization could see if what TAI claimed their product could do for my company. After a month of trying to get in touch with lead on the project my company was told “I am no longer in sales”. There were no communications about the sales person leading and the on boarding process was a total failure.
