Logistics software development
Logistics software is mostly a synchronisation problem wearing a delivery uniform. The office needs live status, the driver has one bar of signal in a loading bay, and both have to end the day agreeing on what happened.
Three spreadsheets and a phone call
The usual state is a dispatch sheet, a driver WhatsApp group and a separate record of what was actually delivered. Nobody can answer where a shipment is without ringing someone. Proof of delivery is a photo on a driver's phone that never reaches the office, and disputed deliveries get settled from memory.
What we build
- Dispatch and job assignment
- Driver mobile apps
- Live shipment tracking
- Proof of delivery capture
- Route planning and optimisation
- Warehouse and inventory movement
What makes this sector hard
Offline is the normal state, not the edge case
Drivers lose signal in basements, rural routes and border crossings. The app has to accept a delivery, capture a signature and store a photo with no connection, then reconcile when it reconnects. Building online-first and adding offline later is close to a rewrite, so this is decided in week one.
Location tracking versus battery life
Continuous GPS drains a phone before the shift ends, which means drivers turn it off and you lose the data entirely. The workable answer is adaptive: frequent updates while moving, sparse while stationary, and batched uploads. It is a product decision as much as a technical one.
Clock skew and conflicting updates
When several devices sync after being offline, two records will disagree. Which timestamp wins, and what happens when a driver marks delivered while dispatch marks failed, has to be an explicit rule in the system rather than whatever the last write happened to be.
On experience in your sector
We are straight about this: these are capability pages, not a client list. Where we have delivered in a sector we will name the client on the projects page. Where we have not, what we bring is the engineering, the compliance groundwork and a willingness to learn your domain quickly rather than pretend we already have.
FAQ
Usually yes, via API or scheduled export. The thing worth checking early is whether the incumbent can push updates or only accept them, because one-way integration limits what live tracking can actually show.
Not necessarily. We build to run on ordinary Android and iOS devices including older ones, since a fleet-wide hardware purchase is often the largest line item. If drivers use personal devices, that raises data and privacy questions we work through before building.
