Reviews of Kuebix TMS
So easy to use!
Comments: I always knew what carriers I had the best rates with but with Kuebix I have found that some carriers have really good prices and or quicker service for certain lanes, being able to see that with one click and on one screen is really helpful and time saving.
Pros:
Love the software, all my carriers on one screen, the interface is very easy to use.
Cons:
I wish there was a way to go from a rate quote into a shipment without starting over.

Kuebix TMS
Pros:
Easy to use, searching Hazmat items is intuitive, ability to save previous SKUs is a lifesaver
Cons:
Hard to track shipments, usually have to call customer service and it takes awhile
Alternatives Considered:
Not yet a complete TMS tool
Comments: The system as a whole is clunky and feels like an unfinished product.
Pros:
Kuebix was pretty easy to navigate and book shipments. The customer support is very responsive and willing to help if possible. It is built on the Salesforce platform, which means the reporting can be customized to fit your company's analytical needs.
Cons:
The shipment tracking was incredibly unreliable. Sometimes shipments would have already been processed through our facility and onto the final destination, but Kuebix still said it was waiting to be picked up from the origin. It is not very broker friendly. There was not an efficient way to set up the BOLs for 3rd party billing when tendering a shipment to a broker. If one user created a report, other users could not access it without reaching out to customer support and having them recreate the report under a shared folder. Certain fields, such as the PO field, can not be edited once booked. So if your team must update data within the shipment, certain fields that should always be accessible for edits were locked for the users.

Comments: Good to use for for shipping, for freight quotes, and for invoicing.
Pros:
Ever since i started using Kuebix, my job life became flexible and a time saver. Kuebix software is very easy to use. Very accurate when obtaining quotes, freight organization, and keeping track with carriers. Everything in Kuebix is already given when shipping LTL or FTL.
Cons:
There are some freight accounts that cannot be input into Kuebix . I've tried to add FedEx as one of my carries but no luck.

Thanks for the great review! We're thrilled that Kuebix has been such a time saver for you! We're doing our best to make logistics simple and connected! In terms of FedEx, we should be able to get your FedEx rates connected. If you email [email protected], we'd be happy to take a look at that for you!
Big help in comparing freight quotes
Comments: I think Keubix has been an overall win for me. It has greatly reduced the amount of time that I spend pulling and comparing freight quotes. I am generally involved in multiple projects at once so that times savings is extremely valuable. The process of generating pickups, Bills of Lading and pallet labels is also pretty seamless which is another time saver. I use the free version of Kuebix so being able to pick up so many efficiencies for not cost is a no brainer.
Pros:
I like that I can compare freight quotes from all of my LTL carriers by only entering the shipment details once. That has saved me countless hours of extra work.
Cons:
I do not care for the way the blind shipment process works or how the address book seems to be a bit on the hidden side.

Kuebix TMS
Comments:
Bottom line, the Kuebix TMS has saved me tons of time and it's very simple and easy to understand and use. It literally took me 15 mins to be up and running on it and I had never used a TMS before this.
And.....the version I use is "FREE".
Pros:
The best feature for my scope of business is having everything I need in one place in order to process my daily shipments. Once you establish your database of ship to locations, it is incredibly simple to process a BOL, dispatch, and print. I do not use the Pro version as it's not necessary for my business model. I believe it offers accounting tools that I do not need.
Cons:
The least liked feature is not being able to update/revise a BOL once it's been processed. It's possible there is a way but I haven't taken the time to contact customer service. I simply unbook the BOL, delete and start over. It takes no time to do this.
All you need in Kuebix
Pros:
The ease of use and having all information easily accessible
Cons:
Have to manually enter my products In item book
I love Kuebix! It saves time, it's easy to use, and the free version does everything I need it to.
Pros:
I can compare rates across different carriers for the same shipment on one site, versus going to each carriers individual site and quoting the same shipment.
Cons:
Some pick up requests have to be scheduled through the carrier's site. Those shipments have to be manually removed from the Kuebix "Booked Not Picked Up" list. The disclaimer for some carriers regarding accessorial options should be visible without having to hover the mouse over "Disclaimer". There is no obvious way to delete Saved Shipments.

Hi Rachel, We're glad you love Kuebix and that Kuebix Free Shipper is fitting your needs! Carriers that are integrated with Kuebix can be scheduled directly through the technology. If you need to schedule a shipment on your carrier's website, you can track that shipment on the Kuebix platform by adding in your PRO number. To enter a PRO number, visit the 'Managed Shipments' screen. This will allow the shipment to be tracked and moved to the correct shipment status within Kuebix. You can also delete a saved shipment by clicking on the KBX number. This will bring you to a new page where you can access a 'Delete' button on the top right-hand corner of the page. Let us know if you have any questions and we can help walk you through this process. Give us a call at 1(800)220-8610 or send us an email at [email protected].
Works great for me.
Comments: saved me time on quotes and BOL.
Pros:
Gives me the quote for all the LTL company. I can print the BOL and get a pick up done all at ones. It is great for small business.
Cons:
where can I start. Nothing I can say about this software on the Cons side. We like the easy to use software.

Kuebix
Comments: I love being able to use one soft ware to get all of my quotes. It frees up a lot of time for me.
Pros:
I love that Kuebix is user friendly. Support gets back to you very quickly with answers to your questions. I like that there is a "free" version because the company does not want to purchase soft ware right now.
Cons:
I wish that I could run reports, I believe that is part of the purchase package. I would like to be able to ship to Puerto Rico and Canada from Kuebix, right now it is not set up for that.

Fast and easy TMS
Comments: Kuebix is an oustanding TMS. It is a time saver for anyone using multiple LTL carriers.
Pros:
It kept all of my pricing for LTL in one location
Cons:
LTL audit was tough to do. If you search by PRO it would pause to search with each number entered instead of allowing you to key the entire number

All your freight needs in one platform
Comments: Overall this is a great platform for any businesse that ships via freight. It allows you to have all your freight companies in one platform so you can save time on your shipments
Pros:
Before we started using kuebix. We had to go to each freight website to handle each freight and pick up as well as quotes but now that is over so we can focus our time in more important issues
Cons:
Sometimes it does not give you a pick up number so we have to go into each freight website to do pick up

Hi Carlos, Thanks for the great review! Not seeing a pickup number on a shipment is due to one of two things; either the carrier isn't API integrated, or the shipment wasn't scheduled as "auto schedule." If this doesn't seem to be the case, or you have questions, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Success team at [email protected].
TIME SAVER
Comments:
AGAIN, THIS IS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO MAKE MY JOB SO MUCH EASIER.
IWE LOVE IT!
Pros:
LOGISTICS IS A RAPID GROWING, FAST PACED BUSINESS AND KUEBIX CUTS THE TIME IT TAKES SEARCHING INDIVIDUAL CARRIER SITES FOR QUOTES. KUEBIX SAVE ME HOURS OF VALUABLE TIME.
Cons:
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING NEGATIVE I CAN SAY ABOUT KUEBIX. IF ANYTHING, IT CAN BE SLOW AT TIMES.

Hello Jesus, Thanks for your feedback on the technology! Did you know that you can make minor changes to the BOL by accessing the 'Managed Shipments" screen and clicking directly on the KBX number that needs to be updated? This will bring you to the back-end of the shipment where you can edit information. This type of update can only be made on items which will not change the price of the shipment. Updates impacting the price of the shipment will require the shipment to be unbooked before changes can be made. Thanks for being a Kuebix Free Shipper! Please reach out with any questions or if we can help walk you through this BOL editing feature. Email us at [email protected].
My job made easy with Kuebix
Comments: Before Kuebix, I was logging into each of my accounts with my carriers and getting my pricing that way. It was a very long and exhausting process. With Kuebix, all carriers are listed and done in one easy step. It saves me a lot of time.
Pros:
I LOVE that I can put in a few shipping requirements and with a click of one button I have access to all of my carriers and their pricing. Can't get any easier than that.
Cons:
I use the free version. The only thing I wish the free version would do is store my addresses.

Hi Robert, Thanks for the great review!
Alternatives Considered:
Kuebix
Comments: When I want to know who's going to be the cheapest, I always go to Kuebix. It's quick and easy to see who is the cheapest.
Pros:
It's so easy to use. The format is simple, and I love the way it brings the carriers up cheaper to more expensive
Cons:
Adding dims should be easier. I don't feel like I get accurate rates by adding dims.
Kuebix saves me at least 10 minutes per shipment. Only had one problem and customer support fixed it
Comments: Saves time!
Pros:
Easy to use, reduces time checking rates. Info entered only once and both quote and shipping are available.
Cons:
When I check pending shipments the confirmation number is not displayed. There is no way to tell if the carrier received the pick up request.

Hi Susan, That's a lot of time savings! Thanks for being a Kuebix Free Shipper! If you're looking for a confirmation number on a pending shipment, you can find it in the "Manage Shipments" screen. Just scroll all the way over to the right to the "Pickup Status" column. If the pickup was successful, the word "Accepted" will appear. Hover over that word and your confirmation number will display. If you've opted out of using the auto-scheduler, then this field will remain blank. Hope this helps! Contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Hi Sandy, It's great to hear that you're finding the system straight-forward and easy-to-use, that's the goal! In terms of determining whether the carrier you have selected is direct or indirect, a flag should appear at the top right-hand corner of the quoting screen. A yellow flag means that the carrier is indirect, and a red disclaimer will appear as well. Give us a call at 1(800)220-8610 if you'd like someone to walk you through this!

It's awesome to see all quotes at the same time.
Pros:
Being able to compare all the rates at the same time and pick the best fit. I have been able to utilize some shipper that are generally more expensive. Previously I would not run quotes through their system.
Cons:
Only thing that comes to mind would be being able to store some thing into the book it page. I use a lot of the same information in all of my shipments and currently have to input it for every shipment. That would be great to have it there already.

As you enter your shipment information, an option to save your addresses and to save your items will appear. Save your information to populate future orders.

Very Easy and a lot of savings.
Pros:
One log in with multiple options. We can easily choose from several different carriers and save time.
Cons:
Tracking, when managing shipments you have to manually enter the tracking number or you get several "booked but not picked up".

Send us an email at [email protected] with your PRO numbers, and we can get those set up for you. That should get rid of most of the "booked not picked up" messages and will increase your shipment visibility!
