## Reviews

### "ascend tms" — 5.0/5

> **sam** | *January 15, 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple and easy to operate, tracking features works great
> 
> **Cons**: none, perfect for any brokerage. If they can include posting expense for office, will be good.
> 
> awsome, sales guys are great.&#10;kudos to \[sensitive content hidden\]

### "Best Value TMS with Full Functionality\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jasper** | *August 27, 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software is a breeze to use\! I shopped several TMS systems for my company \&amp; AscendTMS stood out for several reasons. It’s fairly priced, great value, easy integrations, etc. The list goes on \&amp; on. Their customer service team is phenomenal as well.
> 
> **Cons**: I have no issues with Ascend. If you’re a new broker or dispatcher, this is an excellent choice for your TMS.
> 
> This team \&amp; product is great. As I mentioned, I shopped for several weeks before deciding on Ascend, and I have zero regrets.

### "Best value in TMS" — 5.0/5

> **Ron** | *December 3, 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our rep \[sensitive content hidden\] was and is very helpful and has helped us with a few issues and got us moving along smoothly\!\!
> 
> **Cons**: The layout and format is a little clunky but after some use it gets better no real issue just could be less steps for each operation?
> 
> Overall has been a good experience as stated our rep \[sensitive content hidden\] is awesome\! Communication is very good calls returned,emails answered.

### "A+ Service\!" — 5.0/5

> **Chad** | *February 11, 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Service\!  It's become rare to find responsive service these days.  Everything is chat, AI, call center, yuck.  Not Ascend, real people like \[sensitive content hidden\] are paying attention and ready to help.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there was a way to email carriers based on filters.  Conestogas who have moved loads from MN to the southeast for example.  We figure it out, but that sort o functionality would be ideal.
> 
> My experience has been great.  User friendly, robust, but not over done.  Great Service\!

### "I LOVE ASCEND TMS\!\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Shanta** | *October 28, 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the LTL feature the most because it lets me view my daily load information in one place. This feature makes it easy for me to stay on top of my daily tasks.
> 
> **Cons**: I love everything about AscendTMS Logistics Software\! This system literally has everything that I needed for my freight dispatching business. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a TMS for a freight dispatching business.
> 
> I appreciate every feature of the software. In my dispatching business, I have explored several alternatives that lack the capabilities included in the Ascend PRO Version.
