"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."
“Since we had worked with information systems in logistics before, we knew the importance of controlling and managing the information that was coming in, and going out. We were wary of trying to do it with spreadsheets and the challenges of version control.”
"We were able to adapt the Tailwind platform with ease and the learning curve was short. System has a lot of functionality and the support by their staff is excellent! Greatly enhanced our capability to manage our transportation services.I would definitely recommend Tailwind!"
"Tailwind has been a wonderful company to work with! As a specialized transportation company, it was very difficult to find a software program on the market to fit our dispatch, accounting, and maintenance needs without breaking the bank. Tailwind has been able to meet all of our needs and is continuously adapting to make sure the software works for our business. The support team is very responsive and always finds an answer to our problem. We are still adjusting to a new software program, but we are thankful that we chose Tailwind!"
"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!"
"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."
“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.”
“We liked the way Tailwind flowed, how it allowed us to interact with our carriers, and the one entry system, where all of our data and information was centralized and connected to the things we needed to do in our Operations and in our Administration.”
"As a startup business I easily completed integration and worked efficiently from day one. The invoicing is very detailed collecting information from the normal workflow of dispatch to billing. Tailwind has developed a very powerful platform with customizable features for any size business. During integration their customer support via live chat that stays with you on each screen is amazing. It’s as good as having an in house IT department in your office working on your system all day. Truly amazing customer support. The training videos allows you to continually go back and learn the basics. The way the system operates and the access to training videos, makes on boarding new employees a snap. They basically do it for you with all of the videos. Lynda is the dedicated trainer and she rocks!"
"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 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."
"Tailwind is easy to use and very pleasant to look at (which is important if you have to stare at it for several hours a day). However, the true strength of this offering comes from the company's dedication to making sure that you understand how to use and get the most out of it. Everyone I have talked to there is super pleasant and eager to help. Other software companies just hand it to you and say, figure it out and let us know if you need anything. Not Tailwind. They want to make sure that the software is a good fit for you and will do back flips to make sure you get what you need."
"Tailwind has made our daily routine much easier and efficient. Tracking equipment, payables and receivables, as well as, sending orders and quotes is quite simple. Tailwind’s support department is good, anytime we have a problem we are able to get answers promptly. I did a little bit of training with Tailwind’s trainer, but I mostly learned how to use the system by navigating through it on my own. I found it easy to use, it made sense to me."
“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!”
"Tailwind is awesome from top to bottom. It has been a pleasure to work with all the support and sales staff at Tailwind. The software saves us an incredible amount of time, our dispatch process has become streamlined thanks to Tailwind. We were an old company that was resistant to change and are extremely grateful to have found Tailwind. The training and support has exceeded our expectations. We flew out your Trainer to teach us how to implement the software and the investment was worth every penny. The training was the key to being able to use this system. I would recommend Tailwind over the alternatives, no hesitations."
