4.0

the program has been very helpful and highlighting where our delivery inefficiencies are and providing us the tools to mitigate them. Provides a great visual representation of customer layout across the map which also highlights potential areas to focus sales on.

Pros

That they were able to adapt it to you business model. what we do is not your traditional delivery cycle and they were able to adapt the program to make it work for us. it has been very helpful since. for the most part it is easy to use.

Cons

there are little features i would like to see added to the software which would make it faster and easier and i have been told it is being worked on so this is good. i look forward to getting them installed.

### "Direct Route / Resource Pro"

July 13, 2020

4.0

Pros

It's great for dedicated fleets or private fleets.

Cons

Some of the inconsistencies between what we were told it does vs. what it actually does.

Reason for choosing Appian

Appian was the only company that offered a tool that could do fleet resource scheduling for an entire week at a time.

5.0

Pros

The product is simple to use and shows immediate results and impact of the choices made while routing. The interface can be customized to best fit your configuration. Drivers love the DR Track website.

Cons

There are some aspects that feel a little bit clunky and requires too many key strokes, but the product as a whole seems to have very little issues so far.

5.0

Pros

I love the ability to foresee driver hours in advance. that give me the flexibility to even the loads among drivers.

### "Efficient Routing Tool"

July 13, 2020

5.0

My overall experience has been good, our customers also appreciate the output the product provides and we use it regularly in the business.

Pros

We had a helpful team with onsite training for successful integration and resource pro is very useful to incorporate into sales presentations. Good for internal operational routing as well as customer facing.

Cons

The user interface can be a bit more clear in terms of what function each setting does, it is not as obvious for infrequent users.

Pros

It has an automated process that will always work in the same way. No more dependencies on people remembering what needs to be done or how to do it.

### "An overall necessary tool for route optimization"

December 8, 2016

4.0

Our company transferred from Paragon to this tool about 2 years ago and it is a nice tool to have. We use this a lot primarily in route optimization solutions design.

Pros

A lot more functionalities than other routing tools Can deal with complex solutions, including layover routes

Cons

Expensive Hosted remotely on TMW server, so very slow in motion and frequently crashes Not user friendly at all.. and a lot of the settings are very confusing or not working properly when complexity level elevates

### "Code Less and Deploy in second"

October 12, 2017

5.0

Pros

Ease of integration to legacy data and systems, with no additional coding required for different UI experiences. The modern Tempo UI is clean and responsiveness is built in. You build the UIs once and they render perfectly on virtually any platform. Speed of development and power of the tool to integrate with other platforms.

Cons

No cons while exploring website but the monotone colors users are used to more pop. Make it more smooth so it is easy to handle.
