21 Trimble TMS Reviews
Trimble TMS has a wide array of customizations built-in to the product, which allow us to fine-tune the most minute details to fit the workflows of our transportation enterprise. The front-end can be customized through the use of menu securities, field validations, and custom views that allow us to set what each type of user has access to easily.

The software itself looks and feels outdated. It's based on older technology that gives it a more mid-2000s look and feel. The applications do have some obscure bugs that come up and get patched in later releases. It's not particularly fast and there's a lot of interconnected parts where if something goes down, it tends to bring the whole ship down with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a useful tool to see what loads need to be booked for each day. Helps keep tracking loads organized so anyone can see the load and know the status of the shipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The design is very outdated. It could use some updating to help make it look better, as the design can be overwhelming with the amount of information there is to look at. The page doesn't automatically refresh, so it can be frustrating working on a load that has already been booked because I need to make sure I am constantly refreshing the page.

I like that I’m able to use it for several different subgroups, like operations and accounting. It is one way to keep all the information consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s almost just too much information, we are still learning about how to use the reports so we can decipher the information we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great to track where the loads are and what truck is carrying which load. Great to track all types of drivers. From hourly, mileage, owner ops, and independent contractors. Once paperwork is checked in (which is easy) the billing process can start. TMW is set up to get run with Great Plans which is nice. Once the billing is done and reviewed in TMW and sent over to GP all the sales get auto uploaded to GP. Usually without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up drivers and driver loads that have tariffs can be hard and time consuming. Id drivers are not set up correctly from the start there will be problems with pulling in the drive information for loads. If billing items are not entered and set up properly they will cause an VERY big issue in the long run. And are timely to fix Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think that the assignment history function serves me best. It allows me to reference all of a drivers applicable information by simply typing their name in. In addition, despite the inefficiencies listed below, the planning worksheet is very helpful when it comes to time sensitive shipments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, the software has some minor inefficiencies when it comes to entering delay notices, printing trip summaries, etc. In my opinion, printing trip summaries for our drivers would be much more efficient if we could split the planning worksheet into sections based on the entered data. A “print all” button would also be useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet to find a characteristic of TMW that is better than any other TMS system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
TMW is not user friendly. Difficult to customize and it takes too long to use the planning and dispatch functions. The system does not interface well with Peoplenet elogs either, and this is a growing concern at the company where I currently work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Feature rich and covers a wide range of needs for the Trucking industry. Everything from customer tracking and billing to parts and inventory. I also find the reminders for repairs and checkups very useful for our company. Dawg alerts are super useful, but in the recent update to online, dawg alerts have to be managed with a config client that relies on silverlight which is too outdated to run on anything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are too many dependencies on old and unsecured software like silver light or IE. The layout and design of the software is still clunky and inefficient and feels like it was designed by a high school student in the 90's. There are still a lot of glitches and bugs in the software that make day to day work a hastle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
