About ConNote

ConNote is a transportation management system that manages the consignment process from the initial quote through to invoicing. Minimizing data entry, ConNote is the single source of truth, data is entered once and all the calculations flow from there. Suited to carriers working in various capacities including less than truckload, full truckload, depot to depot, and door to door. Perfect for fleets that are transitioning away from analog and spreadsheet-heavy systems, ConNote cuts down on paper overload, bringing all the information into one place and improving the tracking and traceability of each consignment.

    Pros

    Simple layout, Ease of use, Good support, Willingness to modify and change the product with your ideas and needs.

    Cons

    Originally no written instructions digital or printed. But customer support was always willing to help with any questions.

    Reasons for Switching to ConNote

    Had used ConNote at another transport company for 8 years and it had worked well with the business whilst the business grew and more than doubled in size.

    Response from Logical Developments

    Thanks for your feedback Dannielle, really appreciate it! We are working on updating our documentation. Our manual-writing processes have lagged behind the development of the system. In the short term we are working on help sheets and instructional videos for key workflows in ConNote to bridge the gap.

    Regards,
    Paul.

    Con note has been very beneficial as its helped us capture those lost costs we were missing out on recouping. Its helped us manage what drivers are doing and not doing. It covers off all aspects of the job for them, accurate information to complete the job as well as a one stop shop for them to complete most of their necessary compliance checks. This then flows through to accurate invoicing, capturing all costs associated with the job and ensuring no jobs get missed.

    Pros

    Con note is so simple and easy to use. So great to finally have one document which covers all necessary information for our drivers, and allows us to ensure we don't miss anything for invoicing jobs.

    Cons

    We don't use the system to its full capability yet, in terms of invoicing and quoting etc. Simply because we dont need it at this stage with the size of our business, but it works well for what we need it for.
    We just needed something to ensure all jobs were captured and accurate.

    Response from Logical Developments

    Hi Taij,

    Thank you for your review! We can definitely look at adding more search options to locate consignments in the system, if the connote number is not known.

    Overall the easiest system I have used in my 10 years of data entry.

    Pros

    The conversions between quote to pickup to connote is virtually seemless. All 3 of these screens are setup in the same way so it easy for everyone to use all the features. Generating reports is simple and easy.

    Cons

    The inability to calculate combined weights in the consignment entry section

    Response from Logical Developments

    Hi Brittany,
    Thanks for your review! We have worked hard to make the interface easy to use, so we're glad that it's working well for you!

    We've logged your request for calculating combined weights in the consignment entry section, and we're working to figure out how to best address it so that ConNote continues to be easy to use.

    Pros

    I like many features of this software. I mainly focus on the Importing/Invoicing, Consignment and Quoting feature daily. Works quickly and very user friendly.

    Cons

    At this stage i am unable to list anything i dislike. Anything that needs to be tweaked or updated gets done very quickly so no complaints.
