FreightScout vs Aljex
Aljex and FreightScout are different kinds of tool, so a straight head to head would be misleading. Aljex presents itself as a complete freight broker TMS and says its software helps you win more freight through a more productive user experience. Most freight software watches your business. FreightScout wins freight and then runs it. FreightScout works both sides of the business. On the revenue side it finds the right prospects, coaches real sales meetings, quotes live freight, and runs the follow up that wins the business. On the ops side it executes the loads after they are won, attributing margin to the rep and the dispatcher who earned it and running an agent that proposes the next action and carries it out against real TMS data once a human approves. It runs in production today on 143,156 real loads. Aljex is a TMS and FreightScout is not, so this is not really a choice between them. The overlap is the phrase win more freight. Aljex means a faster screen for the people already doing the work. FreightScout means finding the prospect, coaching the meeting, quoting the lane and running the follow up that closes it.
