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. ----- ### "Excellent TMS" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *15 August 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's incredibly user-friendly and customizable. I've used several (far more expensive) TMSs in the past decade, and AcendTMS is the best by far. The ease of use, integrations, and great customer service have made me a huge fan. > > **Cons**: My only critique is that there is no open API yet, but I'm told that's in the works. I'm glad they're taking their time with it. > > The billing process has really improved thanks to the seamless integration with QBO. ----- ### "ascend tms" — 5.0/5 > **sam** | *15 January 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.
