What do you like best about DAT iQ?

I like the ability to see both historical (Rateview) rates and predictive (Shipment Rate) rates side by side right in front of me. That, in conjunction with each market's inbound and outbound market conditions and rate trends makes making real-time smart decisions easier and quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DAT iQ?

I found the shipment rate tool to be a bit higher than anticipated in quite a few cases. Also, when using the shipment rate batch function, I would be returned blank results on certain lanes and didn't seem like there was any rhyme or reason why - I didn't get any errors when uploading my lanes file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The major problem I see DAT IQ solving for us is being able to take the historical rates from rateview and the predictive rate from shipment rate to come up with a real-time this is what I am going to pay on this lane today rate. Not a rate that is lagging behind from the last week or few days and not a rate that is just a guess at what future rates may be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
