"Effortless Tracking with Broad Device Compatibility"
5/5
What do you like best about Descartes MacroPoint?

I find Descartes MacroPoint to be a powerful and amazing app for tracking drivers and loads. I am able to keep my drivers and loads always on top, knowing exactly where they are. It's incredibly easy to use, which is beneficial for both myself and my team, which includes people who might not be familiar with such applications. I appreciate that it works effectively on many phones, accommodating the variety of devices my drivers use. The ease of setup was also impressive, as we knew how to get started right from the first day. Switching from Project 44 to Descartes MacroPoint was a decision I came to appreciate, as it has proven to be a better fit for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descartes MacroPoint?

Sometimes there is a lag of information with my TMS, where the status in Descartes MacroPoint is tracking now, but it takes too much time to get updated in my system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting capability expectations were not met clearly by sales team.

Ability to report as needed is an 'up charge' and not clearly explained prior to choosing to go with MP
