41 Tailwind Transportation Software Testimonials

"The software is good for tracking shipments and for the visibility it provides for all of our employees. Anyone in the office can pull up the orders and dispatches and know exactly what is happening. We phone in to the support department to ask for help with invoicing and generating reports. I appreciate that they get back to us promptly, within the same business day, and that they have a great way to connect with us on an interpersonal level. The software is easy to learn and we know who to call to get our questions answered. The support department is great at explaining the system to us in plain language that we can understand. As our business grows we continue to learn about how the system can help us further."

"Tailwind has grown and it shows. Your customer service is incredible. I love learning and your support team can teach me how to tackle my software issues. When our companies work together to build a relationship we both can achieve success. Our old system was DOS based and when we upgraded our computers we needed to get a new Transportation Management System. After a year of using Tailwind, I feel like I understand how to use the system, I can get help when I have a problem and I have the ability to cross-train with my staff so the system is continually adapting to our evolving business needs."

"We have been very pleased with our decision to implement TAILWIND as our primary operations and tracking software. As a distribution/warehousing business with three locations stretching from coast to coast, our information has to be available to all locations. TAILWIND’s software has allowed us to centralize all of our information into one database, with up-to-date tracking information available at all times. Our customers are able to access the tracking system and feel confident about the information in front of them. We would proudly recommend TAILWIND software without hesitation!"

"We began searching for an operations software package in early 2007. After investigating a number of systems, we found Tailwind. The Tailwind staff made the transition from manual to automated very easy. They were all very professional and maintained timelines that were very tight. Tailwind helped us to adapt forms (quote, Load Contract, etc) to look and feel like the manual systems so that it was a seamless change for our customers and vendors. And they didn’t nickel and dime us every time we needed something changed. They provided excellent on site and after regular business hours training as well as distance service. At the same time, we needed to change accounting systems to fully utilize Tailwind and their staff made the transition as painless as possible with real help for our accounting personnel. We’ve been operating with the system in place for about 16 months and every issue that we have had, and there have not been many, have been addressed quickly and professionally by the Tailwind staff. My background is the courier industry and I have been involved in purchasing, installing and training three different operations systems like this and the problems were horrendous; timelines were constantly missed, we were left on our own to solve issues and each offered their own different problems. Those problems affected our operational abilities and our bottom line. I highly recommend the Tailwind operations system to anyone who is interested."

"There is no other way to go than being on a maintenance and support plan with Tailwind. I have noticed a huge improvement with the new Customer Success Platform that is being offered. Previously, we were not using the system to its full potential. Angelena reached out to us this year and ensured that we are receiving the attention we require. Specifically, as a Platinum customer I will receive a one on one session with the “awesome” Lynda Clare. I am confident that as a result of this intervention we will receive all the help we need to learn how to use the system comprehensively and to run reports that will further align my business needs with the Tailwind Software. If we have a technical problem your support team helps us immediately and our issues are resolved. I have enjoyed the stability of your support team; Mark, Sandy, Egi and Richard are all great at their jobs and walk us through to the answers we require. Working with Tailwind in 2016 will enable me to get my Trucking business to the next level of success."

"I have had a great experience with the software. The staff is very responsive and would gladly be able to train me on anything I need to know."

"Before Tailwind, we weren’t using any software to manage our operation and everything was handled by pen and paper. That did the trick while we were small and only had a few trucks, but once we started to focus on growing the company, we knew we needed a good system to help us grow. Tailwind has been really great and is a crucial part of our business. It helped us grow. Paying owner operators and keeping track of everything would be impossible without Tailwind. The software itself is great, but more importantly, the training and support is superb. Tailwind’s staff has always been there to help us from the beginning, and I would recommend it to every trucking business out there."

"Tailwind has given us greater visibility into our dispatch and invoicing, as well as our daily operational challenges. It is extremely rewarding to work with a company that has such exceptional customer service."

“Yes, there are a couple of things I would like to see added – more visibility into some of the costs of a truck and the driver – and I have already submitted those requests. That ‘in app chat’ in the new online version is a good feature. I send them a message and they get right back to me.“

"What I really like about Tailwind is the customer support. The support team is responsive and appropriately reactive. The Tailwind software program is organized and user-friendly. We broker in our business, and had gone through the process of demoing several other transportation management systems. We learned that the other programs did not fit all of our business needs. Tailwind makes our work more efficient so that fewer mistakes are made. Once we enter in our information we can see the process from quotation right through to billing. Tailwind has helped our business to grow and become more profitable."

“This system is great. It is fairly easy to learn and has lots to offer. The Driver Pay Wizard is very handy for my department. I am able to immediately determine if PRO#s have or have not been paid to a driver. My old method was to look through every check they have received from us! Customer support is always there to help!”

"All of our information is easily and readily available to us with pinpoint accuracy. Our customers are happier, more informed and better taken care of since we installed the software. We can quickly and accurately track our customers’ loads and update them at a moment’s notice on their shipment status. We do not misplace or lose orders anymore and that has saved us time and money. If an order is not delivered it cannot be billed. Even if the paperwork is misplaced and the order delivered, we will still have the order in the system to bill. The ability to sync to our accounting makes our accountants job easier."

"Tailwind is very user friendly and has customizable features that can be done at the user level or through their support network. Run into an issue? Just call or email their support team, responses are always quick and solutions just as good."

"We needed a system to make confirmation sheets and were using pen and paper to run our business. I contacted Tailwind and had a demo with Lynda. We got our logins and watched two training videos on our own time. The program was super easy to learn on our own. It was extremely self-explanatory. It took me one month to learn how to use the system. I could have learned it in one week, but I was really busy at work. If I had a question, I got an answer from your support department and your trainer within 1-2 hours. Tailwind stayed in touch with me regularly. I never felt alone in learning how to use the system. Now our business is more organized and I can work from home when I need to."

“I feel that I have just touched the surface on what I can do in this business,” he shared. “And it’s probably the same for how I am using the Tailwind application – I am sure I will use it even more as my business grows.”
