    Locus helps us streamline our logistics operations and give an accurate view of our deliveries. The dashboard is quite informative and easy to learn. It is good in - 1) API integration 2) Fast customer support and 3) Easy user interface. There is some scope for improvement in 1) The App should be less battery-consuming and 2) location accuracy can be improved.

    Alternatives Considered
    Descartes Systems Group
    It is a powered tool that can be used by any of the current logistics (and why not?, non-logistics companies), that need a reliable, accurate, and well-based amount of information of the fleet, with ease. Using the [latest] technologies, integrating a wide view of transportation, inventory, [and] custom status on a single but not simple platform.
