    Although we are a small carrier (20 trucks with two people who dispatch during the same hours), Prophesy would be even more powerful with a slightly larger company that has multiple dispatchers that need to share information without being physically together. Multiple-office locations or companies that have employees working remotely would do well with Prophesy.

    Appian is well suited for optimization of routes and contrary to what Appian claims, it is not well suited for scheduling.

    • Appian is excellent for use in both the analysis arena and ongoing operations support. The speed to solution and quality of solution is at the top of the market.
    • The configurability of the system gives the user the flexibility to address almost any route problem imaginable. Analysts have the ability to recreate the "world" to fit their customer's needs rather than forcing the customer into a predetermined framework.
    • The installation of the software is flexible and can be structured to fit any work group's format, from a centralized core to a distributed mobile analysis team.

    • Transit times are sometimes inaccurate/inconsistent.
    • Software can slow down as a route file undergoes many changes.
    • Large quantity of input files can sometimes create confusion/inconsistency when route files are shared by multiple users.

    Many issues with the system and I will probably recommend other type of software if the question arises. Because of the investment my company has made, I will use the system for now.

    Alternatives Considered
    Korber Supply Chain (formerly HighJump)
    The two most important features for us when deciding which provider to use were integration with third-party software and ease of scheduling drivers and matching with loads. Prophesy, for the money, excelled in both areas over the other systems we reviewed, some of which are not listed. The professionalism of the sales rep also set a tenor for the company he represents

    Appian was best suited for an analysis environment both functionally and from a cost structure standpoint. Other packages are targeting ongoing operations and their cost structures reflect that goal. The purely analytical environment can underestimated in these situations. There is definitely a need for non operation specific analysis tools in the marketplace.
