Most logistics software looks fine in a demo, until you try to scale it, integrate it, or modify a workflow that doesn’t fit the vendor’s template. That’s when things start breaking: routing logic, rating rules, billing flows, driver management, telematics feeds, exceptions, and integrations - all turning into brittle patches.

The TwinCore Logistics Framework is built to prevent exactly that.

It’s a modular engineering foundation for building TMS platforms, fleet systems, rate engines, shipment tools, routing engines, and custom logistics applications - fast, safely, and without reinventing the wheel every time.

You get full control, faster delivery, and a system that evolves instead of boxing you in.

Why we built a framework instead of SaaS

Most logistics SaaS platforms fail teams with complex operations. They lock workflows into rigid templates, restrict integrations, and force businesses into artificial “feature tiers.”

A framework avoids all of that:

No per-seat pricing

No “enterprise plan” limits

No hard-coded logic that can’t be changed

No dependence on a vendor’s roadmap

You get long-term ownership, full flexibility, and the ability to model logistics exactly as it happens in your business.

Built on modern, scalable engineering principles

The Framework is used in production across complex logistics environments. It’s designed for high volume, unpredictable flows, data-heavy operations, and constant exceptions.

.NET microservices & modular architecture

Each domain - routing, orders, drivers, vehicles, pricing, billing, inspections — lives in its own bounded context. No more monoliths where one change breaks three other workflows.

API-first and integration-ready

Logistics always depends on integrations: carriers, telematics, ELDs, ERPs, WMS, OMS, accounting, rate engines, marketplaces. The Framework is built to integrate cleanly, not fight the ecosystem.

Event-driven logistics workflows

Logistics is events: order created, ETA updated, vehicle departed, shipment delayed, inspection failed. Everything is modeled as events so visibility and automation come naturally.

Future-proof for AI and optimization tools

Route optimization, automated dispatching, anomaly detection, AI agents - plug them in without restructuring the system.

Solution patterns: fast ways to build full systems

Instead of listing individual modules here, the Framework focuses on solution patterns - common system types we can assemble quickly, then tailor to each business.

Full Transportation Management System

A complete TMS for carriers, brokers, 3PLs, freight forwarders, or mixed operations, combining routing, order handling, fleet, rates, and integrations.

Fleet Management Platform

Built around drivers, vehicles, inspections, service schedules, compliance and telematics - for logistics companies or enterprises with large vehicle inventories.

Rate Engine / Pricing Platform

A high-performance rating engine with configurable rules, tariffs, surcharges, and API endpoints for carrier integrations or custom pricing logic.

Shipment / Freight Platform

A flexible foundation for building a digital freight marketplace, shipment aggregator, or carrier network with real-time status tracking and partner integrations. These patterns use the same architectural base - but every implementation is customized around the company’s workflows, data model, and operational structure.

Solution patterns: fast ways to build full logistics systems

The TwinCore Logistics Framework is built around repeatable architecture patterns that accelerate development, eliminate fragile one-off integrations, and give teams a stable foundation for scaling. Instead of forcing every company into a single product, the Framework adapts to different logistics models and operational realities - reducing development time while ensuring long-term flexibility.

Custom TMS

A full Transportation Management System for carriers, brokers, 3PLs and freight forwarders. The pattern includes routing, order flows, carrier selection, fleet coordination, pricing and billing logic, compliance rules, real-time visibility, and integrations with ERP/WMS/CRM and carrier APIs. Teams get a TMS architecture that mirrors real operations instead of being compressed into “off-the-shelf” constraints.

Fleet Management Platform

Designed for operations where uptime, inspections, maintenance cycles and asset utilization determine overall performance. This pattern unifies telematics, DVIR workflows, preventive maintenance, fuel tracking, compliance, driver interactions, and fleet health analytics into one connected ecosystem. Built for modern, sensor-enabled fleets that require reliable data, not fragmented vendor dashboards.

Rate Engine / Pricing Platform

A configurable pricing foundation that handles complex transportation tariffs without relying on spreadsheets or brittle custom scripts. It supports multi-layered accessorials, dynamic fuel logic, contract rules, lane-specific adjustments, scenario testing, and real-time rating APIs. This pattern creates a single, accurate source of truth for quoting, billing and financial analysis across the logistics network.

Shipment / Freight Platform

A flexible base for building digital freight systems: marketplaces, load boards, shipment aggregators, or partner networks. Includes shipment lifecycle management, real-time tracking, event pipelines, exception handling, document flows, and collaboration tools for carriers and shippers. Designed for teams that need scalable freight orchestration without reinventing the same infrastructure from scratch.

Why a modular framework is safer than building a system from scratch

Custom logistics software is powerful, but starting from zero is expensive and unpredictable. A framework removes the risky part:

Faster delivery

You’re not spending months building the same boilerplate logistics logic every other company also needs.

Cleaner architecture

Each part of the system stays isolated, so new features don’t break old ones.

Easier maintenance

Teams can work in parallel without stepping on each other’s code.

Room to evolve

Add new workflows, integrations, or entire modules without rewriting the foundation.

Lower cost over time

You invest in logic that’s unique to your business, not in reinventing fundamentals.

And the biggest benefit: you stay in control. No per-seat pricing, no “enterprise contract terminology,” no hidden dependency on a vendor’s roadmap.

Who the Framework is built for

This approach works for two main groups:

Logistics companies building long-term infrastructure

Carriers, brokers, 3PLs, dispatch centers, freight forwarders, and hybrid operations that need systems tuned to their exact workflows.

Enterprise businesses with large fleets or complex movements

Retailers, distributors, manufacturers, field service companies, and utilities - anyone who runs vehicles, drivers, and time-sensitive operations.

If your business moves things or people and your current tools can’t keep up, this framework gives you a future-proof base to build on.

Why Companies Choose TwinCore for Logistics Architecture

Designing logistics systems comes down to structure, not buzzwords.

Most problems appear later, when systems start to scale, integrations multiply, and small shortcuts turn into operational friction.

Teams work with TwinCore because of how we approach this work:

We start with how the business actually runs, not with templates.

We design systems so they can be extended without breaking existing logic.

We treat integrations as part of the core system, not side projects.

We pay attention to long-term maintainability, not just speed of delivery.

Our experience comes from practical work with complex environments: legacy platforms, carrier and ERP integrations, regulatory constraints, and teams that rely on systems every day to keep operations running.

The focus is simple: build software that stays useful as the business grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a “framework” and not just another logistics platform?

A platform is a finished product with fixed rules. Our framework is an engineering foundation - a set of architectural patterns, service boundaries, integration rules, and reusable components we use to build truly custom logistics systems. You don’t adapt your business to the software; we shape the system around the way your operations actually work. It’s the difference between buying a tool and building your own infrastructure on top of a proven base.

How is this different from building a TMS or fleet system from scratch?

Starting from zero is slow, expensive, and error-prone because every logistics system shares 60–70 percent of the same underlying patterns. The Framework gives you that foundation upfront: modular services, an event-driven backbone, integration patterns, and a scalable domain structure. Your budget goes into what makes your business unique instead of rewriting the basics every competitor already solved.

Does using the Framework limit customization?

Not at all. The framework defines boundaries and architecture, not functionality. You can change workflows, introduce new modules, replace components, attach external systems, or rewrite parts without breaking the rest. The rules of the system give you flexibility - not constraints - because everything is isolated, predictable, and designed to evolve.

Can the Framework support AI-driven dispatch, routing, or decision-making?

Yes. It was built with that in mind. Because the architecture is event-driven and modular, AI features plug in safely: automated routing, delivery-time predictions, load matching, anomaly detection, or agent-based operations. You’re not bolting AI onto an outdated monolith; you’re attaching it to an architecture that already knows how to handle asynchronous logic and high-volume state changes.

What if we don’t have an internal engineering team?

You can use the Framework without in-house developers. Our team can build the system end-to-end, and later hand it off to your team when you’re ready to take ownership. Many clients start this way: we build the first release, they grow their engineering capabilities later, and the system is structured enough to onboard new developers efficiently.

Is the Framework only useful for large logistics companies?

No. Mid-size carriers, growing brokers, regional 3PLs, and even non-logistics companies with large fleets benefit from it. The Framework lets you start small - maybe only routing or a fleet layer - and expand into a complete TMS when the business requires it. You don’t need a “big enterprise” budget to get value from clean architecture.

Does adopting the Framework lock us into TwinCore?

No. You own what’s built on top of it: the code, the deployment, the integrations, the roadmap. There’s no subscription, no per-seat pricing, and no vendor lock-in. If your internal team wants to take over development, the boundaries are clear enough to do that without chaos.

What’s the real benefit compared to SaaS TMS tools?

SaaS tools are fast to start but rigid in the long term. The Framework is slower to start than SaaS but far more flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient once your workflows outgrow “checkbox customization.” If you want control, integrations tailored to your business, and software that doesn’t force you into its logic - the Framework gives you that foundation.
