At the time I purchased Creative Systems, all of the intermodal software sucked. So, I purchased $25k crappy system (intermodal and brokerage systems), rather than an $75k crappy system. I still believe I made the right decision.
The original people at Creative have found themselves on the losing end of a merger, and left the company to start Tailored Logistics. I have not seen their new product, but they created the Freight Link product I have. I rate Freight Link a D.
I looked at Trinium. The sales guy is the former Creative Systems salesman. I took a pass on their system. It was better than Freight Link, but there wasn’t enough to warrant a change.
I looked at Profit Tools and came to the same conclusion as Trinium.
I have worked as a fright biller, collector, dispatcher, financial analyst and executive. I consider myself quite up to speed on what you need for an effective system. It’s just that all software is too slow and too cumbersome. Too much clutter and data doesn’t get enough visibility.
I will need to upgrade my Freight Link system and have an interest in reviewing new products. I would love to partner with other intermodal truckers and develop a simple and effective system to bill customers and pay drivers. I have developed a system for my business, but during the last mile of development the programmer got ill. It never got completed, but it works well enough for demonstrating the concepts. All of the logic is still valid. |

You’re asking the million dollar question. I thought you were enamored of Profit Tools—that’s why we looked so closely at them.
Our current software is Creative Systems out of Chicago. We are replacing it first quarter next year. I haven’t yet decided with what.
I do like Profit tools, so they are still in the running. I am also looking at EI Solution, Tailored Logistics and Trinium.
No one seems to have a system developed for the domestic Intermodal carrier…..its all for import/export moves. |

I hear a lot of good things about profit tolls. One of my friends uses it at his trucking company.
We use this system called Creative System but I don’t like it and I know we are making some changes but not sure to what system. |
