Logistics

Supply chain software that keeps working when conditions do not

Transport management, warehouse operations, visibility platforms and driver applications — built for offline conditions, real-time tracking and integration sprawl.

Sector challenges

What makes Logistics engineering different

  • Connectivity cannot be assumed

    Drivers and warehouse staff work in areas with poor or no signal. Software that requires connectivity simply does not get used.

  • Every partner integrates differently

    Carriers, customers and customs systems each use their own formats — EDI, flat files, bespoke APIs — and each needs mapping and monitoring.

  • Visibility gaps between handovers

    Shipments lose traceability at every transfer point, and the resulting exception calls dominate operations teams’ time.

  • Planning under constant change

    Routes, capacity and schedules change during execution, so plans must be adjustable in real time rather than fixed in advance.

  • Ageing operational systems

    Core transport and warehouse systems are frequently decades old, business-critical and cannot be taken offline.

Digital solutions

What we build for this sector

  • Transport management systems

    Order intake, planning, dispatch, carrier allocation, execution tracking and freight settlement.

  • Warehouse operations software

    Receiving, putaway, picking, packing and dispatch with barcode and RFID support on rugged devices.

  • Visibility platforms

    Multi-carrier tracking aggregation, milestone normalisation, exception detection and customer-facing tracking.

  • Driver and field applications

    Offline-first mobile apps for job assignment, proof of delivery, photo capture, signatures and vehicle checks.

  • Integration hubs

    EDI, API and file-based partner integration with mapping, validation, monitoring and replay.

  • Yard and dock management

    Slot booking, gate processes, dock scheduling and turnaround analytics.

Products and platforms

Systems we can build for you

Delivered as new products, as modules inside an existing platform, or as a modernization of something you already run.

  • Transport management and dispatch systems
  • Warehouse management and operations tooling
  • Multi-carrier shipment visibility platforms
  • Offline-first driver and field applications
  • Freight marketplace and brokerage platforms
  • Customer tracking and self-service portals
  • Yard, dock and slot booking systems
  • Supply chain analytics and control towers

AI and automation

Where AI genuinely helps in Logistics

Applied where judgement is required and measurable. Everywhere else, deterministic software remains cheaper and easier to debug.

  • Document processing

    Extraction from bills of lading, customs paperwork and proof of delivery images, with low-confidence fields routed to review.

  • Arrival time prediction

    Estimates informed by historical performance, route conditions and current status, with confidence ranges rather than false precision.

  • Exception triage

    Classifying and prioritising delay and damage exceptions, with suggested actions and the evidence behind them.

  • Route and load optimisation

    Optimisation across constraints — capacity, time windows, driver hours — with planner override always available.

  • Customer communication

    Proactive status updates and answers to tracking questions drawn from live shipment data.

Integrations

Systems we connect to

Integration work is usually where the estimate lives. We assess API quality and access early rather than assuming it.

  • Carrier APIs and tracking services
  • EDI standards (EDIFACT, ANSI X12)
  • ERP systems (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite)
  • Warehouse management systems and automation equipment
  • Telematics and fleet management providers
  • Customs and border systems
  • Mapping and routing services
  • Payment and freight settlement platforms

Security and compliance

What we design for, and what we do not claim

We build and document controls that support your obligations. Certification and legal sign-off come from your auditors and counsel.

  • Driver hours and safety records

    Systems can be designed to record and report the data your jurisdiction requires for driver hours, vehicle checks and incident reporting.

  • Customs and trade documentation

    Document generation and retention designed to support customs filing requirements in the regions you operate.

  • Data protection

    Location and driver data handled under GDPR and equivalent regimes with defined purpose, retention and access controls.

  • Operational resilience

    Offline capability, degraded modes and documented recovery procedures so operations continue through system or connectivity failure.

Technologies
