looking for a real-time tracking solution
To meet these and other challenges logistics companies face every day, our team can develop such software solutions as:
Transportation management system (TMS)
This software application can help you plan, execute, and optimize your transportation operations. With TMS, you’ll be able to plan a route, select a carrier, manage freight costs, and track your shipments in real time. A TMS can automate all these tasks, thereby saving time and money as well as improving efficiency of your transportation operations.
Rate engine
It’s a powerful cost calculator at your fingertips. This application can search through thousands of offers proposed by different carriers. You just need to enter the weight, origin, and destination of your shipment, and the app will show you various options for you to choose from. Rate engine can be a standalone solution for your customers or become an integral part of your TMS.
Order management system (OMS)
OMS acts like a brain of your order fulfillment process. This type of software can optimize every single operation starting from order placement and to its arrival to the customer’s doorstep. You can use OMS as a central hub where you have a bird-eye view on all your orders, inventory, and fulfillment across all your channels.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) application
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) application. ERP integrates and manages all core logistics processes and beyond. Finance, inventory management, accounting, supply chain management, and even human resource — almost anything can be tracked and managed under the hood of one system. In such a way, you’ll get a better data flow, improved operational efficiency, and a whole-picture vision of your logistics business processes.
Warehouse management system (WMS)
A robust WMS app can become a central control center of your warehouse or distribution point. This software application can help with everything happening inside your warehouse: inventory management, order fulfillment, dock scheduling and labor assignments, and even integrating with warehouse robots or conveyor systems.
Fleet management system (FMS)
With this software tool, you’ll be able to oversee and optimize use of all your vehicles. FMS app can monitor and analyze such data as vehicle location, mileage, fuel use, and driver behavior. As a result, you’ll be able to make informed decisions about routes and schedules, fuel cost optimization, timely vehicle maintenance, and safety measures.
If you have a request that has to address your narrow-specific need, we are still ready to help you to create a custom solution for your logistics company.

Ideation and product discovery
You may come to us without any specific idea in mind but just with a problem your business needs to solve. We’ll run a series of product discovery workshops to define the requirements for your solution and create a detailed product roadmap to plan the entire project. If necessary, we can develop a minimum viable product (MVP) to test your idea.
Design
Together with our user interface (UI)/user experience (UX) design, you’ll define how your solution should look like, what features it has to include, and how users will interact with it. As a result, you’ll get a clickable prototype to see how your future solution will work.
Development
That’s the stage when the code gets written according to the requirements we’ve gathered before.
Testing and quality assurance
Every chunk of code undergoes thorough testing and quality assurance, so you’ll get a working and bugless app. Even if some bugs may appear all of a sudden, our quality assurance engineers will be ready to help.
Software deployment
After a successful testing, the code goes to a production stage. Our DevOps specialist will ensure that your solution starts working properly while the next batch of features is under development and testing. In such a way, you’ll be able to continuously develop and integrate your solution without waiting when the entire system is ready.
Ongoing support and scaling
Our team offers continuous support of your solution and its scaling when you decide it’s time to expand your business.
