Macropoint Integration Makes Load Info More Efficient **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steven L. | Account Representative, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2026 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** I like best that it integrates macropoint into the load information. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** I least like that you have can't do almost everything right in the load and that you have to go to other screens if you want to do something like add a comdata code. I would also like there to be a way to see distance from the shipper like you can see distance from the consignee. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** it helps solve the problem of finding capacity at times when i am able to search for carriers who have run a certain lane or one close to it. It also helps me keep track of what i have paid on lanes at certain times of the year in the past to help me predict when lane costs will fluctuate. ### 2. User-Friendly Layout with Minor Limitations **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Blake B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2026 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** I find Descartes Aljex very user-friendly, especially appreciating the ability to adjust the board to my preference. The layout helps me stay organized and I love being able to quickly look through my board and see customer, pickup/delivery, rates, and carrier all in one place without having to scroll, which saves a bit of time. The initial setup was easy from my understanding. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** Well for drayage specifically - There isn't a Steamship Line, or Railroad carrier box - and batch building is limited to 10 only. My request would be to add those areas in, and also when batch building - if drayage - allow the containers number to be input in side bars to go ahead and create each duplicated load with a corresponding container number. Would save time and be more efficient **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Descartes Aljex helps me stay organized with a user-friendly layout, allowing me to quickly see customer, pickup/delivery, rates, and carrier details all in one place, saving time. ### 3. Efficient TMS with Intuitive Color-Coding **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jordan C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2026 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** I like how the statuses in Descartes Aljex are color-coded. It allows me to skim over our entire load board and quickly determine the status of each load just by looking at the color. This is really helpful because we currently have over 50 loads on our board, and without the color coding, it would be a lot to read through. Additionally, the initial setup of Descartes Aljex was very easy because I've used other TMS's before, so I already knew most of it. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** I want to be able to copy and paste PU#'s, REF#'s, and/or any container number that I may need directly from the board without clicking into the load. Adding accessorials for drayage loads can be a little clunky and time-consuming sometimes. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Descartes Aljex organizes all our load details in one place and the color-coded statuses allow me to easily track load status across our board of 50+ loads. ### 4. Effective and efficient tool for billing purpose in logistics business **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vik S. | Accounts Payable, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2024 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** The integration with Highway provides an extra layer of security and efficiency, allowing for the swift, automated syncing and updating of verified carriers with minimal manual input. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** While generally considered user-friendly, some specific functionalities, like the split-screen option, reportedly don't work as smoothly as expected. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Aljex has helped me with mutliple things from billing work for the shipments to store and share the paperwork with the carriers and the clients. Another helpful feature of Aljex, in my feild of work, is that it gives an option to VOID/cancel the shipment even if created initially (in case that shipment was never completed) and it also is very helpful with it's feature to be able to block MC#'s given the increase in the number of fradulent carrier activities in the system. If I find out a carrier is scamming us then I can block that MC and prevent that carrier from ever working with us. Also, it gives an option to set customer limit and prevents from booking a load with that client if the limit is reached until the payment is made from the client which enables keeping a track of the pending amount to be collected and avoids clients from putting us in too much debt. Another helpful feature is it'd ability to create a unique load/pro# for each shipment. You can anytime enter that load/pro# to find out easily which carrier and customer booked that load with us. ### 5. Aljex Used to Be Effortless to Navigate **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Morgan S. | Freight Broker, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2024 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** I really appreciate some of the newer improvements in Descartes Aljex. The interface feels faster and more intuitive, and the visibility into carrier compliance has become even more reliable. The system’s automation—especially around carrier onboarding, document tracking, and alerts—has noticeably improved my workflow. Overall, it continues to make managing freight smoother, smarter, and more efficient. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** I’ve been using Aljex for quite some time, and one thing that has always stood out is how little support I’ve ever needed. The system has been straightforward, reliable, and intuitive enough that I’ve never had to reach out for help. That alone speaks volumes about the software’s design and usability. In terms of dislikes, I honestly can’t think of any major issues. My experience has been largely positive, and the platform has consistently delivered what I need without creating unnecessary complications. While there is always room for any software to grow or add new features, Aljex has been solid and dependable in my workflow. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** As I informed earlier, I deal with drivers all the time. Macropoint feature help me get time to time tracking of all my drivers. Isn't that amazing. ### 6. Dependable Invoicing Solution, Loved by Long-Time Users **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kacie W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2026 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** I love that Descartes Aljex meets all of our invoicing needs, and the reports are very helpful. I have been working in Aljex Classic since 2005 and enjoy the option to continue using it while other team members use Vision. There are a few tasks I can complete easier in Classic compared to Vision, and some team members rely on me for tasks that only Classic supports. The initial setup of Descartes Aljex was very easy for our company. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** In the past, I could pull up a PDF from the public/private file with one key. Now I have to copy and paste a link and open it in a browser. Not a hard task, it was just much easier/time-saving the old way. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Descartes Aljex provides solutions for all of our invoicing needs and their reports are very helpful. ### 7. Streamlined Logistics, Needs Modern UI **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shirin f. **Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2026 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** I like how Descartes Aljex brings structure and visibility to transportation operations. It makes managing dispatching, load status, carrier coordination, and shipment updates much easier without spreading everything across emails or manual trackers. I appreciate that it keeps the workflow consistent and trackable, which helps teams stay aligned and reduces operational confusion. The features bring control and clarity to day-to-day logistics work, making dispatching more structured and loads easier to assign and track. The real-time visibility of load status means operations teams don't have to chase updates through calls, emails, or multiple systems. Overall, it saves time, reduces delays, and keeps operations running smoother. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** The UI feels a bit dated - it works, but it's not the most modern or intuitive for new users. Some workflows feel rigid - it would be great to have more flexibility based on different teams or shipment types. Overall, its a solid tool, but better usability and stronger integrations would make it even better. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Descartes Aljex to support logistics by managing dispatching, load tracking, and more. It reduces manual tracking, improves visibility, centralizes information, and smooths coordination. Overall, it saves time, reduces delays, and keeps operations running smoother with fewer gaps. ### 8.

Like LATE PICK, LATE DEL instead of only options LOADED, DISPATCHED, AT SHIP and so one. It would be easier to identify problematic loads. Also a place to put a note that can be on the main screen. Right now only the NOTE button shows. I have to click on each one to find the note. When we have multiple loads, it would be great if i could see internal notes listed out without having to go into the load. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to access it from my phone is wonderful since sometimes things happens afterhours when we are on our home time. Macropoint being automatically updated to check call is a life saver as well. ### 9.

It helps create a unique load/pro# for every shipment. 2. It makes it easy to fetch shipment details using the load/pro#. 3. It also makes it easy to track both carrier and customer shipments that were completed in the past. ### 10. Exceptional Visibility and Easy Setup **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristan S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2026 **What do you like best about Descartes Aljex?** I like the visibility that Descartes Aljex provides. I also like that the majority of drivers already have Macropoint and know how to use it. We can accurately update our customers on the location of their loads based on the tracking ability. The initial setup of Descartes Aljex was very easy. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** I would like for drivers to not hide their location or only allow location while using the app. Maybe there could be a way to eliminate that option for them altogether. Take away the ability to hide location and the option to only allow tracking while using the app. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** Descartes Aljex helps us track trucks on loads, providing accurate updates for load pickup and delivery, enhancing visibility. ### 11.

From the TMS, tracking, ease of use, to the support desk. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** I wish EDI was cheaper and there were options to connect a third part application to the CRM section. For instance, connecting a lead generation that will integrate. **What problems is Descartes Aljex solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows for seamless load management. The training videos provided are helpful to train new staff. The service desk is extremely helpful for the most part. Overall, a positive experience ### 12.

I also like how simple it is to navigate. The initial setup was very easy, and the system is very easy to navigate overall. **What do you dislike about Descartes Aljex?** I wish there was a way to mass build loads in the system all at once.
