Software for logistics and transportation
Every partner integration is a contract you have to keep at 3am.
Systems we integrate with
- TMS & WMS platforms
- EDI VANs & AS2
- Carrier & rating APIs
- ELD & telematics
- ERP systems
- Parcel carriers
- Customs & brokerage
- Accounting platforms
What actually goes wrong in logistics
Recognisable, specific, and drawn from systems we've worked on rather than an industry report.
Onboarding each customer takes weeks of integration work
Every shipper wants a different format, cadence and set of exceptions. Without a repeatable onboarding path, growth is limited by integration capacity rather than sales.
You cannot see margin per load until after settlement
Accessorials, detention and fuel land late and inconsistently, so the profitability of a lane or a customer is an educated guess for weeks.
Customers call because they cannot see their freight
Status lives across a TMS, a carrier portal and an inbox. Answering a where-is-my-order question costs a person twenty minutes and the customer their confidence.
The WMS says one thing and the rack says another
Cycle counts drift, receiving shortcuts accumulate, and the discrepancy is discovered when an order cannot be filled.
Partner feeds fail quietly
A dropped acknowledgement or a duplicate shipment notice does not announce itself. It becomes a chargeback or a missed appointment days later.
Systems we've built for logistics
Not a menu, just a description of the shapes of work that come up repeatedly in this vertical.
- Order and load management with exception queues
- EDI onboarding: 204, 210, 214, 856, 940 and 997 flows
- Rating, quoting and margin calculation per lane and customer
- Customer visibility portals with real-time status and documents
- Warehouse receiving, putaway, picking and cycle counting
- Dispatch, routing and appointment scheduling
- Freight audit, settlement and carrier payment workflows
- On-time performance and service-level dashboards
The requirements that are easier to build in than bolt on
Compliance, auditability and correctness cost far less when they're part of the architecture from the start. Retrofitting them is where budgets go.
EDI is a commercial agreement wearing a technical costume
A missed acknowledgement window is a chargeback, not a bug report. We build partner flows with retries, alerting and a replayable log of everything sent and received.
Idempotency across every inbound message
Partners resend. Duplicate shipments, double billing and phantom inventory all trace back to handlers that assumed each message arrives exactly once.
Time zones and appointment windows
A delivery window is local to the dock, not to your server. Storing and displaying time correctly prevents a whole category of service failures.
Proof of delivery is retained as evidence
Signatures, photos and scan events settle claims. Retention and chain of custody are designed rather than left to a vendor's default.
How logistics clients usually engage
Systems Integration
Connect your CRM, ERP, PMS, billing and internal tools so data moves once, automatically, and stops being retyped.
Custom Software Development
Applications built for how your business actually works: the workflows no off-the-shelf product will ever match.
Software Architecture
Architecture, technology selection, and technical due diligence for systems that have to survive scale and staff turnover.
