Categories & Use Cases

A strong platform, only needing a new face

Pros

  • 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

  • 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.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
