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

    Truckstop can be used as a goto Loadboard for instant rates but the data is becoming less reliable. It’s needs to be worked on.

    Pros
    Trimble
    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    • Reduced transportation costs in dynamic environment where routes are optimized daily using Direct Route.
    • Better customer service to field by generating e-mail notifications for following day's ETA's, along with notifications when trips are behind schedule.
