    Descartes Logistics Technology Platform has a control tower view which we have used a lot. It permits us to check on [the] real-time status of every truck, also has the features and option to communicate with the trucks' ELD, which gives us the most liable information about his current location and status.

    I like it i think it makes the whole buying journey really smooth for the end customers , it’s easy to use for baristas and it’s actually better than most software’s out there.
    But the service is not great , for simplest if things they take too much time to rectify , i mean the live line for ordering related issues is good it’s more technical glitches and installation related issues that take more time.

    Cons
    Descartes Systems Group
    • Intelligence, it gets stuck in some areas of the country
    • Integration with [other] apps, we would appreciate a collaboration with [other] tracking apps that can share the same information if they are being installed [on] the same device
    • A better and clean dashboard, its face needs a renewal, a fresh look, adapted to the current trends

    I like the usability, for customers it’s easy to use even for admins it’s easy to extract reports , analyse performance. I didn’t give it 2 points because I think a lot of features can be added and the service can be improved. Also modules like inventory are too complicated for the users to do it themselves the team should take the initiative of getting it setup or have an easier way of getting started on that

    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.

    It was better priced , had more features and ease to use. It’s suited for all size of business. Especially smaller , all digital businesses. I also evaluated a few other tools and I remember Rista being an easy choice because i wanted the order confirmation and bills to go on WhatsApp and not messages which not a lot of these software’s were offering .

    Descartes Systems Group
    • Positive, we can do our things faster than ever with using the information shown in the platform, avoiding unnecessary calls and interactions
    • Increasing the liability of the gathered information about trucks' actual/real location
    • A solution to improving our overall shipment visibility

    • So i save cost of one billing resource that’s let’s say 15k per month per outlet where i pay Rista double that amount for a year so my 10month resource cost is saved
    • Negative impact which i think is very niches people feel hesitant to share their number and i think Rista should add a feature where sharing number isn’t compulsory as not everyone’s comfortable sharing their mobile number
    • The entire inventory module is too complicated to setup so while i have it for the past 2 years i still haven’t configured it
