Descartes Customer Engagement Platform vs. JumpTrack

It is appropriate when you have high value items that you are delivering like computers and printers to offices. You need proof of delivery many times and this provides that with pictures that can easily be stored in our database. It is not appropriate for businesses that are just delivering goods where proof of delivery is not needed or you are working with low value items.

• Provides historical data for staff to ensure customer receives proper service
• Allows the drivers to sort their route and essentially have a map to each location
• Its connection with DDMS has become much more stable and easier to use once we moved to DDMSPlus

• Support is lacking and finding information is very difficult. Actual issues are rarely resolved or followed up on.
• If a delivery does not sync properly the data is permanently stuck and all further delivery information is lost. The app then needs to have it's data and cache erased to restore functionality. This is a major bug that needs to be fixed.
• Automated POD email function is too time consuming to setup. When an email is added to one master account number there needs to be an option to populate that information to all sub accounts.
• Report function needs improvement. The 'Planned vs Actual' and 'Delivery Efficiency' reports each do things that overlap, but a single report with selectable options for needed data would be much more user friendly. Currently to get the data needed I have to run both reports then copy/paste the data I want into a third spreadsheet.
• Map feature on the app sometimes works well - IF the accounts are all formatted the same. If there is a suite number in the address it does not.
• When changes are made to the delivery manifest through DDMS those changes do not automatically update Jumptrack, it has to be done manually.

We would be lost without it! I would never get rid of the efficiency it has created for our company

Overall it's pretty simple but there are bugs, and they are glaring. losing data and functionality midway through the day is a major detriment. The map/navigation function is effectively useless. Piece counts should be shown on the 'in transit' list instead of having to click all the way through to the individual invoices to see how many pieces you have

I have never contacted customer support. Your question clearly states " If you have never contacted support for this product, please skip this question. "When attempting to skip, I get an error "Explanation required Please provide a response." For this reason alone, I have given a rating of 1.

We use JumpTrack over other programs out there because of how well it integrates with DDMS, our ERP software. We also like that nothing has to be installed on any computers. It's fully web-based/cloud based product. We like it's developed by Eci who made our ERP software so we already have a working relationship with it's creator

• Cost savings, paper and time and route optimization.
• Accountability of the driver: the real-time GPS shows where they are and when expectations of completion.
• Reporting gives you some nice numbers to review with your drivers to help them become more effective on a daily basis.
