Occasionally it would just stop working. And God forbid you try to call for text support or to order a additional device for a new vehicle, i called a month ago, never hesrd from them.

Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "Nova" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 12, 2021 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.

KC KIM C. RATE CLERK Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "CUSTOMER SERVICE IS FANTASTIC " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 4, 2021 Pros Tracking with this system is a lot easier than our old system, and accounts receivable and collections has reduced my time by hours. When I worked on our past dues it would take me up to 2 days, now it takes around 2-3 hours. If you have a question there is always someone to help you at Aurora. Cons The one thing I would change is when a shipment has an osd problem I wish there was a way to flag it and hold it in a separate area instead of always hanging out in the undelivered report. It would be nice to keep osd shipments separate until they are rectified. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
