    S&P Global Inc.
    Cap IQ is well suited for analyzing security pricing and valuation, tracking stock performance over time, looking up comparable transactions, and analyzing valuations on an industry basis. The service is also well suited for charting and data analysis purposes.

    On my daily tasks, it helps me to track every order and provide us with detailed information, logging times, [and] user's interactions. Not only [being] able to track but to build and receive orders thru its transmission system is good because it is integrated with a huge amount of companies world wide, reducing the effort and costs in contracting several apps to do just one thing.

    • Dispatching management- with all its features we can be sure that McLeod will cover all the possible needs when dispatching a load.
    • Billing and documentation- its platform also provides several ways to gather all our documentation and keep them recorded.
    • GPS tracking- its implementation on GPS is beyond of our expectations. It works perfectly with the most known GPS apps such Macropoint, Keeptruckin, LoadTrack and more.

    Cons
    S&P Global Inc.
    • The scope and depth of the collected data can be increased.
    • The UI with little icons and buttons may be difficult at first but may become intuitive. The UI isn't horrible but might be better.
    • Global data coverage, but US and UK markets have the greatest details. MENA and APAC lack.

    • Guides- we would love to have some updated tutorials and videos about how to use it
    • Feedback system- everyone wants to be listened to. We would appreciate a system to leave a feedback about its product and its new functionalities.
    • Fresh look- it is not ugly but McLeod is strong [and] powerful and I think a newer and fresh look will be nice.

    S&P CIQ Pro has great data, however, the new pro version is currently difficult to use given how slow the data is to process

    Alternatives Considered
    S&P Global Inc.
    We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you can in Capital IQ.

    McLeod has several implementations and is always looking for new ways to get up-to-date. Also, it is stable which is a nice thing when you are a big company handling thousands and thousands of loads every day. We are not only building loads but selling, tracking, dispatching, billing them, and all is being done in the same app.

    McLeod Software
    • Looks a bit old- we are in a new age of apps with fresh looks and responsive designs, however, this does not impact our business but we think that using a new face will help with the training curve.
    • It might delay the operation a bit because we need to access different menu items to get to one specific point.
    • A positive thing would be that with all the amount of features it has. McLeod is always trying keep the platform stable, and we know it is not easy to maintain a software like that.
