    McLeod Software
    On my daily tasks, it helps me to track every order and provide us with detailed information, logging times, [and] user's interactions. Not only [being] able to track but to build and receive orders thru its transmission system is good because it is integrated with a huge amount of companies world wide, reducing the effort and costs in contracting several apps to do just one thing.

    Although we are a small carrier (20 trucks with two people who dispatch during the same hours), Prophesy would be even more powerful with a slightly larger company that has multiple dispatchers that need to share information without being physically together. Multiple-office locations or companies that have employees working remotely would do well with Prophesy.

    Pros
    McLeod Software
    • Dispatching management- with all its features we can be sure that McLeod will cover all the possible needs when dispatching a load.
    • Billing and documentation- its platform also provides several ways to gather all our documentation and keep them recorded.
    • GPS tracking- its implementation on GPS is beyond of our expectations. It works perfectly with the most known GPS apps such Macropoint, Keeptruckin, LoadTrack and more.

    Cons
    McLeod Software
    • Guides- we would love to have some updated tutorials and videos about how to use it
    • Feedback system- everyone wants to be listened to. We would appreciate a system to leave a feedback about its product and its new functionalities.
    • Fresh look- it is not ugly but McLeod is strong [and] powerful and I think a newer and fresh look will be nice.

    McLeod Software
    McLeod has several implementations and is always looking for new ways to get up-to-date. Also, it is stable which is a nice thing when you are a big company handling thousands and thousands of loads every day. We are not only building loads but selling, tracking, dispatching, billing them, and all is being done in the same app.

    The two most important features for us when deciding which provider to use were integration with third-party software and ease of scheduling drivers and matching with loads. Prophesy, for the money, excelled in both areas over the other systems we reviewed, some of which are not listed. The professionalism of the sales rep also set a tenor for the company he represents

    Return on Investment
    McLeod Software
    • Looks a bit old- we are in a new age of apps with fresh looks and responsive designs, however, this does not impact our business but we think that using a new face will help with the training curve.
    • It might delay the operation a bit because we need to access different menu items to get to one specific point.
    • A positive thing would be that with all the amount of features it has. McLeod is always trying keep the platform stable, and we know it is not easy to maintain a software like that.
