Logistics platforms that move freight without the firefighting.

For carriers, freight brokers, fulfillment companies, and delivery networks. Real-time shipment tracking, smart route planning, carrier connections, and dashboards that warn your team about delays before customers call — not after.

our approach

Engineer for the failure modes — they ship daily.

Logistics software fails at the edges: the data feed that drops messages at midnight, the GPS signal that goes quiet three stops from delivery, the route that was perfect at 6am but wrong by 10am after two drivers called in sick. Most platforms handle the good days well. We engineer for the bad days — because in logistics, bad days are just Tuesdays.

We've built fleet management systems, delivery driver apps, freight marketplaces, and supply chain dashboards. We know the old-school data formats the industry still runs on, the quirks of FedEx and UPS systems, and why a driver app must keep working in a dead zone — then sync everything up the moment the signal returns.

The bar is set by Amazon. Shippers expect live arrival estimates, alerts before a delivery promise gets broken, and honest scorecards on how each carrier really performs. We build to that standard — location updates under a minute apart, delay warnings with time to act, and the performance data your team needs to negotiate better carrier rates.

— problems we solve

What we actually build.

01

Real-time shipment tracking

GPS and sensor data from trucks and devices, location updates under a minute apart, and automatic alerts when a shipment enters or leaves key zones — all turned into clear status updates your customers can actually understand.

02

Route planning & dispatch

Software that plans the best routes around delivery windows and truck capacity, re-plans on the fly when a driver calls out, and gives your dispatch team a console for managing 200 drivers without a spreadsheet.

03

Connecting to carriers & shipping systems

FedEx, UPS, DHL, and the industry's standard data-messaging systems — plus rate comparison and load offers — all translated into one consistent format, so every carrier looks the same to your software.

04

Driver mobile apps

iPhone and Android apps that keep working with no signal: navigation, delivery instructions, and proof-of-delivery photos and signatures — all saved on the phone and synced automatically when coverage returns.

05

Warehouse & inventory management

Receiving, put-away, pick-pack-ship, and stock counts — with barcode and RFID scanning, first-in-first-out stock control, and connections to the major warehouse systems your partners run.

06

Seeing the whole supply chain

On-time delivery reports, carrier scorecards, wait-time analysis, and AI-based delay prediction that raises the alarm while there's still time to fix the problem — not after the promise is broken.

— ops platform architecture

The three layers every logistics platform needs.

Most logistics platforms stall because tracking, routing, and visibility were built as separate dashboards that don't share data. We engineer all three as one real-time operational fabric.

Real-Time Tracking Layer

  • GPS / cellular / IoT telemetry ingestion at scale
  • Sub-minute location update pipeline (Kafka / MQTT)
  • Geofence event triggers for arrival, departure, dwell
  • ELD integration for FMCSA hours-of-service data
  • Live map with vehicle clustering & exception flags

Dispatch & Route Optimisation

  • VRP solver with time-window & capacity constraints
  • Multi-depot and multi-day tour optimisation
  • Live re-routing on cancellations and driver call-outs
  • Driver app with offline-first turn-by-turn navigation
  • Dispatch console with drag-and-drop load assignment

Visibility & Analytics

  • Predictive ETA engine (ML-based delay detection)
  • OTIF reporting & SLA breach alerting
  • Carrier scorecard — on-time, damage rate, response time
  • Dwell time analysis & lane performance benchmarking
  • Exception management: automatic shipper notifications

Offline-first driver apps — built for tunnels, warehouses, and rural dead zones

— compliance & regulation

Built for regulated freight.

Logistics intersects transportation safety law, customs regulation, supply chain security, and data privacy. We treat every mandate as an engineering constraint from the start.

ELD mandate & FMCSA hours-of-service — US rules on driver hours and electronic logging
CTPAT — the US customs-security partnership program
GDPR & CCPA — European and California privacy laws, for driver and shipper data
HAZMAT / DOT — US rules for transporting hazardous materials
IATA dangerous goods rules — for air freight
FDA DSCSA — US rules for tracking medicines through the supply chain
ADA — accessible apps for drivers and customers
— tech stack

how we engage

From data audit to live operations.

Every logistics engagement starts with an operational data audit and ends with dashboards your dispatch team can act from — not just reports your engineers have to interpret.

01

Operational data audit

We map your carrier integrations, telemetry sources, EDI transaction sets, and TMS dependencies before writing a line of code. You get a written data architecture document and an integration dependency map your ops and engineering teams can review together.

02

Platform & data architecture

We design the telemetry ingestion pipeline, route optimisation model, carrier integration strategy, and real-time event schema. Decisions like Kafka vs. Redis Streams and OR-Tools vs. custom heuristics are made here with your fleet size and constraint complexity in mind.

03

Build for the failure modes

Offline-first driver apps, idempotent telemetry ingestion, EDI retry logic, and graceful degradation when carrier APIs go down. We test the unhappy paths explicitly — because in logistics, the unhappy paths happen every day.

04

Launch & ops reliability handoff

We instrument carrier API uptime, telemetry ingestion lag, route optimisation solve time, and OTIF by lane. You get ops runbooks for carrier API outages, EDI failures, and GPS blackout zones — plus dashboards your dispatch team can act from directly.

logistics faq

Frequently asked.

7 questions answered. Still have one? Reach out.

Yes — we've connected to the major transport management platforms (MercuryGate, TMW, McLeod) and business systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite). Every integration starts with a mapping session where we write down exactly how data translates between systems, what happens when something fails, and how retries work — before we write a line of code. The surprises get found in that session, not in production.
