"Great partner with defensible and transparent methodology supported by a knowledgeable team"

5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

DAT IQ Tools enalbe me to provide a level of confidence regarding a client's performance to the market when it comes to transportation pricing. DAT IQ does that by having a very detailed approach and methodology that takes into account a lot of different factors that affect a transportation rate. If a client's freight has a characteristic that they feel drives their pricing, there is a great chance that the data is already captured in DAT and we can find the appropriate comparison for them. The willingness of the DAT team members to walk a customer through the data and why a benchmark looks the way it does and not just "wave away" variability, is also important. Knowing and being confident in the math behind the service is critical for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

There are a number of different subscriptions and data sources in their offering. Aligning around the correct comparison for a particular situation is more difficult than it probably needs to be. I know DAT is streamlining this to better integrate the legacy Chainalytics benchmarking with the legacy DAT benchmarking. This will likely address this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DAT iQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We utilize DAT IQ to help us assess a client's transportation operations and strategy. That assessment will always contain qualitative and quantitative aspects. DAT IQ helps us on the quantitative side to benchmark the client's transportation lanes and provide insight on where there are opportunities for improvement on the pricing side of things.

"Moving freight with the best tool."

5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

DAT is a great tool to move freight. If you want to post your loads it is a great place for visibility. If you are looking for available trucks, it is the best place to find the best one for your freight. It will also help you define the best rates and negotiate. It will help you with making relationships with your customers and carriers with lane makers and will provide you with a lot of helpful information about this beautiful business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

I consider it not a very intuitive tool. Sometimes there is information that I can't understand what it is for or what kind of information it gives me. Or, sometimes I feel it would be a good idea to include a user guide online or something like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I do not like about DAT IQ is the fact that this platform has little customization, you cannot edit it and make it your own, it only feels generic sometimes. But there is no real problem when using DAT IQ even daily, and their customer support is top-notch, really good aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Anything I would like to have in IQ I already have in DAT One so nothing so far. It is very easy to use and very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DAT iQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

I always need to know how the market is doing every week and how rates have changed in comparison to previous years so DAT iQ is crucial there.

"The best to move your freight"

5/5

What do you like best about DAT iQ?

It has a lot of tools that help to move freight. This tool will help you post your loads and get potential calls to book the load. In addition, you can check posted trucks also. You can filter, arrange, and call the best option for your business. If you have any doubt about the market rate, it will be a helpful option.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

I don't know if there is a manual or support to review when you have a doubt about abbreviations or where to find certain information or data. It provides a lot of information, however, sometimes it is not easy to know where to find it, or what does a specific item means. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
