"The way the application is designed and configured makes it really easy to navigate, with lots of automation."

The Challenge

The firm had been persuaded to use a beta product by another software provider, and it was clear that it was not ready for market. There were numerous issues with poor performance and responsiveness, which meant that it was taking too long to process orders and transactions. The system was so poor that it was impacting on the firm’s ability to process work effectively.

Choosing TransPlus

One of the KWE team recommended TransPlus, and it was immediately obvious that the user-friendly system provided all the functionality required to manage both freight and fleet. The ability to fully integrate TransPlus into the firm’s current accounting system and to produce customised reports persuaded the senior team that TransPlus would be perfect for the business.

"It has really helped our Canadian operation to grow quickly and secure long-term customers."

Director of IT Systems

The Results

TransPlus has eliminated all of the previous problems, providing fast and efficient order processes, transaction management and financial reporting. It integrates with other systems including ISAAC Telematics and Freight Assist. Since installing TransPlus there has been a significant reduction in the number of support tickets raised and the KWE  team speaks highly of TransPlus support.
