Reviews of Kuebix TMS
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 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.

We appreciate the positive review, David! We're so pleased that you've been able to find so much value through our free offering! Kuebix is building the most connected shipping community and having shippers of all sizes is a big part of that.
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].
Great TMS
Comments: My experience is great. We are a small company and were using one of the paid versions and realized we weren't using any added features so we are now using the free version and it is still doing great.
Pros:
I like how easy it is to use. I have used other TMS systems and Kuebix is way better than all the others. I like how professional the labels and BOL look
Cons:
I wish it would keep track of the dimensions of everything I ship. My company ships a lot of overlength and when I share information with other carriers of previous shipments it only shows the cost, location, and the weight shipped

Hi Brittany, Thanks for the review! At Kuebix, we pride ourselves on our modular features and customization. If a company doesn't need a specific feature, they don't have to spend money on it. We're glad you're making the most out of Kuebix Free Shipper! As for tracking dimensions of shipments, that would be a feature of Kuebix Business Pro in Reports and Analytics. Please don't hesitate to shoot us an email ([email protected]) if this is something you'd be interested in! Thanks for being a Kuebix user!
Very Convenient!
Pros:
Very convenient and easy! It provides us all the information we need.
Cons:
I have no complaints so far! Everthing is manageble and easy to use.

Kuebix reveiw
Comments: Kuebix helps RCI pick the best carrier, whether based on service or cost. Very helpful in keeping shipments organixed
Pros:
I like multiple quotes all on one screen. Makes picking the appropriate carrier very easy. Easy to find a shipment that has been quoted or shipped out.
Cons:
Tracking is very tedious and most of the time I have to got the carrier website to get information. I wish the edit customer information was easier. I would like a place to store notes that only RCI can see to help remember things like lift gate needed,call for appointment or call Sally on Wednesday's etc.
Couldn't be happier
Pros:
The best part of this software is the time it will save you. I spent 30 minutes looking up each freight companies rates, sometimes waiting all day for them to get back to me. With Kuebix, it only takes 3 minutes max and I have every carrier's rates that I need. Customer service got back to me within 10 minutes whenever I had a problem and gave me clear, concise instructions to fix it. I couldn't be happier with Kuebix and recommend it to anyone that is thinking about using it.
Cons:
I honestly cannot think of a single problem I have with Kuebix. It is the ideal program.

Hi Jeff, Thank you for the amazing review! We are so happy to hear that Kuebix is saving you so much time and simplifying your operations.
Kuebix has really helped me / us to save time when quoting our LTL shipments.
Pros:
Ease of getting quotes from all of our LTL Carriers in one spot! Kuebix makes it so easy for us since we typically quote 10 to 12 LTL Carriers per shipment.
Cons:
That we cannot select from two separate logos for our BOLs since we ship for two companies; without having two logins and paying for two users. :

Hi Jennifer. It's great to hear that our service has been able to save you time and allow for your company to quote 10+ rates for each shipment! Since many of our customers represent multiple companies, Kuebix offers a discount for customers to add users. Adding an additional license is a quick and easy process. We'd love to help you represent both of your companies by getting this second logo activated! Contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in.

Comments: Kuebix saves me time and money by showing me all of my rate quotes at one time.
Pros:
Very easy to get freight quotes from all of my LTL trucking companies. I use about 10 different trucking companies and can enter information just one time on Kuebix and get rates back from all of the trucking companies that I use.
Cons:
I do not make full use out of Kuebix due to the nature of my business. I only need it for the rate quoting feature so I do not take advantage of the other uses. However, I still pay the same rate.
Awesome Product
Comments: Kuebix has been invaluable to our company. I could not do my job nearly as effeciently without Kuebix.
Pros:
Saves me so much time! Being able to quote multiple carriers at once is a life saver. Also it is very nice being able to pull up quotes quickly when auditing freight bills.
Cons:
I wish all the shipments would show the pro #'s. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. It may be just certain carriers that it shows up on, but I haven't looked that far into it.
Have had minimal issues, which were resolved quickly with customer support
Comments: Saves me time from having to look at several sights in order to see the most pertinent information.
Pros:
I love that this piece of software takes all of my currently contracted rates and consolidates them into one easy location for review.
Cons:
Biggest frustration is that I have to enter the pallets and weights in two different areas. It should be intuitive enough to transfer the information, or consolidate so I only have to enter it in one space. Pretty minor though.

Hi Kelli, Thanks for the review! We're glad Customer Support was able to resolve any issue you had quickly! Do you use pallet or dimensional pricing? If you don't, then you only need to enter in your pallets and weights a single time and can ignore the input box for pallet information in the handling unit field. Only the fields marked with a red line are required, feel free to leave the other blank to speed things along!
Kuebix Review
Comments:
Overall, I am happy with the software and the customer service prompt response to my questions. Very fast and reliable to solve any issues.
I depend on Kuebix for freight quotes on a daily basis.
Pros:
It is easy to use and accurate, great and fast customer service
Cons:
The software relies on salesforce plataform. If Salesforce is down, Kuebix is down.

Hi Manny, So glad to hear that Kuebix is a reliable source for finding the best freight quotes each and every day! Thanks for the review.
Quoting
Pros:
this is very fast and easy to get quotes
Cons:
We only use the program for quoting so there is nothing that i do no like about it. The only thing that i think would be helpful is to be able to see quote history
Kuebix Rocks
Pros:
This gives us the opportunity to save our customers money, which help keep them as customers.. Win-Win
Cons:
Every now and then it acts a little buggy but nothing i cant deal with.
Kuebix Review
Comments: Overall, Kuebix is user-friendly and provides a one-stop shop to compare all of your freight pricing!
Pros:
The software is super easy to use! You can load all of your carriers and Kuebix will provide pricing for all of your options - economy, priority, guaranteed - its great! After you enter weight and dimensions a class is automatically suggested for you so takes out the guesswork and research! Produces a BOL for you that is easy to read.
Cons:
Not sure if you can declare a value for insurance but we have freight insurance through another company.

We love to hear that our software is easy to use! Thanks for the review! There's an option to add a declared value of insurance on parcel shipments. If you want to add a value to an LTL shipment, you can enter this information into the "Special Instructions" section. These instructions will appear on the BOL. Thanks again for the positive feedback!
Review
Pros:
Very Easy to use. All of our needs in one place.
Cons:
We don't really have any complaints. The software has been great!
Kuebix is great, I can see all my rates all in one screen
Comments: We've been able to save a lot of money and time, going with the best option that fits our budget is very important to us.
Pros:
Being able to see all the prices and options I have with all my carriers. The ease of use was one of the thing that pushed this product for me, and that you can get a rate quote and fill out the BOL at the same time, instead of going to two different pages.
Cons:
The shipping labels, I like that it allows me to print with the barcode on them, but it doesn't say how many pallets there are on the labels, for example if I have 3 pallets, it just says 3 pallets on all my shipping label, rather than 1 of 3, etc.

Hi Chuong, It's great to see you've been able to take full advantage of Kuebix to save time and money! Your feedback is very important to us. We've heard from you and other Kuebix users and are adding a multi-pallet numbering feature to our enhancement list. At this point we don't have a timeline for completion, so please stay-tuned for this feature. Thanks for being a Kuebix Shipper!
Shipping Made Easy
Pros:
This software makes it easy to view all carrier freight quotes with one click. What a time saver!
Cons:
It would be nice if it was a little more economical as far as pricing goes.
Kuebix TMS Thoughts
Comments: It is useful
Pros:
That I can look at different carriers at the same time.
Cons:
When getting another rate I had to start over instead of opening up another window at the same time.
Kuebix - nice tool to have
Pros:
It's one place to go to compare all quotes at once and NOT a 3PL. BOL is created too!
Cons:
I would like to choose to save quotes and rename them. It's confusing going to another section and having to search for it, especially if there were several quotes.
