"Enhances Visibility and Collaboration, Needs Better Data Clarity"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Descartes MacroPoint?

I love the responsiveness and engagement of the customer support team from Descartes MacroPoint. We frequently have calls and brainstorm together on improvements. They offer emerging technology, and I'm always eager to hear more about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes MacroPoint?

What's missing is understanding if the driver stopped sharing, if the app was force-closed, if GPS was disabled, or if the driver was not onboarded correctly. Adding recent codes for issues like driver app and active location permissions being disabled, the device not reporting GPS, or tracking accepted but never started, even just a simple label for compliance failure due to driver inactivity, would massively reduce the guesswork. This clarity would help us take the right action immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real-Time Shipment Tracking Makes Coordination Effortless"
4/5
What do you like best about Descartes MacroPoint?

I really appreciate being able to track my truckload shipments in real time, both before and after pickup. This feature is particularly useful when trucks are running late for pickups and I have to coordinate with shipper personnel who may need to stay after hours to load. It makes managing these situations much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes MacroPoint?

One drawback of MacroPoint is its pricing structure. It would be preferable if users could pay solely for the loads actually tracked in the system, rather than being required to purchase a monthly minimum block of loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Tracking with Room for Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Descartes MacroPoint?

I like the reporting feature of Descartes MacroPoint, especially the five star tracking quality report. It really helps in carrier management and in identifying carriers that meet or don't meet our basic requirements. The initial setup was pretty simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes MacroPoint?

Being able to pull YTD reporting. Currently there are limitations in the date range field. There should be no limit on the date range you're able to pull. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's good for the most part."
3/5
What do you like best about Descartes MacroPoint?

Still the same, we usually use it for checking on arrival for updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes MacroPoint?

Sometimes, MacroPoint does not update the load status in a timely manner, so we have to manually double-check the load information. Improving the speed and reliability of tracking updates would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
