You enter the information once, and it flows seamlessly across dispatch, tracking, and reporting, which makes it much easier to stay organized and efficient. The ability to run reports and have clear visibility into operations is a big advantage, and the integrations really enhance the overall functionality of the system. It’s designed in a way that actually supports how you run your business day to day and it's been a very cost-effective solution for running operations efficiently. > > **Cons**: I haven’t run into any major issues. On the rare occasion I’ve needed help or had a question, support has been readily available and very responsive, which makes a big difference. > > Ascend TMS has been a great system to work in — very user-friendly with strong integrations that actually support day-to-day operations. The training resources are top notch and always available when you need them. I also want to highlight \[sensitive content hidden\] , my rep, who consistently points me in the right direction and makes sure I’m getting the most out of the platform. That level of support makes a big difference. Overall, it’s been a solid tool for running and growing operations efficiently. ----- ### "Best Value TMS with Full Functionality\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jasper** | *27 August 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is a breeze to use\! I shopped several TMS systems for my company \& AscendTMS stood out for several reasons. It’s fairly priced, great value, easy integrations, etc. The list goes on \& on. Their customer service team is phenomenal as well. > > **Cons**: I have no issues with Ascend. If you’re a new broker or dispatcher, this is an excellent choice for your TMS. > > This team \& product is great. As I mentioned, I shopped for several weeks before deciding on Ascend, and I have zero regrets. ----- ### "A+ Service\!" — 5.0/5 > **Chad** | *11 February 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Service\! It's become rare to find responsive service these days. Everything is chat, AI, call center, yuck. Not Ascend, real people like \[sensitive content hidden\] are paying attention and ready to help. > > **Cons**: I wish there was a way to email carriers based on filters. Conestogas who have moved loads from MN to the southeast for example. We figure it out, but that sort o functionality would be ideal. > > My experience has been great. User friendly, robust, but not over done. Great Service\! ----- ### "I LOVE ASCEND TMS\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Shanta** | *28 October 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the LTL feature the most because it lets me view my daily load information in one place. This feature makes it easy for me to stay on top of my daily tasks. > > **Cons**: I love everything about AscendTMS Logistics Software\! This system literally has everything that I needed for my freight dispatching business. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a TMS for a freight dispatching business. > > I appreciate every feature of the software. In my dispatching business, I have explored several alternatives that lack the capabilities included in the Ascend PRO Version. ----- ### "Humming Transport LLC / Freight Broker" — 5.0/5 > **Luis** | *15 November 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Is really easy to to figure things out in your own if you dedicate a a full day to get to know the system. Also the learning center are really helpful to find more instructions step by step with videos and simple guidance. > > **Cons**: Some times the system log out a little bit fast if the computer are not in used and need to refresh the page to see some update what you have done, But not a big deal. > > I really recommend AscendTMS to everyone that are in the need to keep you book of business organized, and if you need to crate invoices and other documentation, this are the perfect software to send and received e-signature in on platform. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/122488/ascendtms-logistics-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/122488/ascendtms-logistics-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
