The Search: Why 7 Systems Fell Short

 

Allround Forwarding Midwest knew they needed modern freight management software, but finding the right fit proved harder than expected. Each system they evaluated had fatal flaws—missing features, overwhelming complexity, or prohibitive costs. After months of demos and trials, they were frustrated but determined to find a solution that actually worked for their business.

 

 

  Incomplete Solutions

"System A had great tracking but no accounting. System B had accounting but terrible UX. We needed everything in one platform."

 

  Overwhelming Complexity

"Enterprise systems had every feature imaginable, but training would take months and our small team couldn't afford that learning curve."

 

  Budget Constraints

"Some systems charged per module, per user tier, and per integration. The final price was 3x the advertised cost—completely unaffordable."

 

  Implementation Nightmares

"One vendor quoted 6-9 months for implementation. We needed to be operational quickly, not wait nearly a year to go live."

When Allround Forwarding discovered GoFreight, they were skeptical—after 7 disappointments, could any system truly deliver? But within the first demo, they knew this was different. GoFreight offered complete functionality without overwhelming complexity, transparent pricing without hidden fees, and a team genuinely committed to their success. Finally, they'd found their perfect fit.
