Pros I appreciate the ease of accessibility from any computer or location. The conversion from previous software was quick and the Ecolane Help Desk is a wealth of great information and training tools. Cons I would like to see the reports option be a little more user friendly. Hard to pick the right report. However, Help Desk is always willing to get the reports I need and save them as favorites for future reporting.

Operations Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "Outdated, but usable" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 May 22, 2020 Pros The export functionality is hands down the best part of this product. We have a very demanding reporting system and utilizing the export function and all the data it provides is fantastic. It interfaces wonderfully with the dispatch software we utilize. Cons It may be in which the broker is utilizing this software, but it seems like a terrible idea to have the attached trip IDs change every time a change to a trip is made. We value accurate reporting and if a third party makes a change on a trip, we are unfortunately out of luck. There is no way to know if a trip id has changed and that is a huge concern.

Response from Vendor May 27, 2020 Hi Christine, thank you for your feedback we can definitely work on some items to make it easier on you and your team. That is a great point about the trip ID. I discussed some alternatives with one of our sales team members and we may be reaching out to you. We are also going to release our 5.0 updated software platform soon. It sounds like this will be a good fit for your organization when it comes out. Thank you for being a customer, Samuel O.

The Ecolane team is an asset to our business. Pros I like that the data that goes into the software, is able to be retrieved and used to make business related transportation decisions to better serve the clients. Cons Some of the processes take multiple steps/clicks, where if configured differently, they could be made on a single page.

Operations Specialist Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "Ecolane Review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 October 29, 2018 Over all is good, Ecolane has its flaws, people just need to realize what they are and plan for them to happen daily and adjust to the system. Pros I helps get consumers on and off board as soon as possible. It is also efficient with only needed the right amount of vans out on a given day. Cons Breaks are terrible, if a driver goes to break late, then timing of trips need to update before the driver departs from his break.

It allows for easy changes on the fly and works well with google maps. The help desk is always ready to address a question or problem and it never takes long to get an answer or get something fixed Pros Very simple navigation through all sections we need to work with Cons maybe an updated system for the drivers tablets which I think is coming in the next update!

IT Director Government Administration ### "Ecolane works well for our agency" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 26, 2018 Pros Ecolane has made it much easier and convenient to see what is happening during the day. We now know where a bus is and when it is expected to arrive. Copies of client age verification forms can be kept in the software, eliminating the need to search filing cabinets. Cons Sometimes it seems the routing and pickup order it chooses doesn't seem logical. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Transit Operations Supervisor Government Administration ### "Improved service" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 26, 2018 My agency has seen a huge increase in efficiency and productivity, a gain of well over 50% trip increase with no increase in resources. Reduction in customer complaints and increases in compliments. Pros Functionality: Multiple functions under one roof all linked from: Client information Scheduling Dispatch MDT Mapping POI GEO coding Trip tracking Driver monitoring Data capture Reporting there are to many to list.. Cons very little in my opinion the biggest CON is the user and their ability to work within the software and see the many potential gains. A failure isn't necessarily a software issue I have found. Many times its a blend of agency understanding and settings, with interactions with the system playing a large role in problems Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
