Logistics Software Modules for TMS, Fleet, Routing & Pricing Systems

Q: What exactly are these logistics modules?

They’re standalone software components designed around real logistics workflows. Each module handles one core area of operations: drivers, vehicles, routing, pricing, orders, inspections, fuel, invoicing, or shipment consolidation. They come with their own logic, APIs, and events, so your developers can plug them together to build a complete system - or use them individually to upgrade a single part of your logistics stack. These aren’t templates or UI blocks. They’re real building pieces you can depend on in production.

Q: Do we need all the modules to start?

No. Most companies begin with one or two modules that solve their immediate pain - maybe Route Planning to clean up dispatching, or Drivers + Vehicles to create proper fleet visibility. Others only need the Rate Engine to power pricing for a shipment platform. You add modules as the system grows. Nothing breaks if you use only a small subset; everything is built to work independently.

Q: Is this a no-code modular builder?

No. This isn’t drag-and-drop software. The modules are meant for engineering teams who want clean building blocks instead of reinventing standard logistics logic. They connect through APIs, events, and data contracts. If you want something simple and generic with no development involved, a SaaS TMS might cover the basics. These modules are for companies that want more control and more flexibility than SaaS can offer.

Q: How do the modules work together?

Each module sends and receives events - for example, an order created, a route assigned, a failed inspection, or an invoice issued. They also expose APIs for commands and queries. The boundaries are clear, so replacing or extending one module doesn’t cascade into the rest of the system. This is how you can upgrade, customize, or scale modules independently without creating a fragile codebase.

Q: Why did you divide everything into these specific modules?

Because logistics naturally falls into these domains. Fleet-related work lives around drivers, vehicles, inspections, and fuel. Operational flow centers on orders, routing, and consolidation. Financial activity depends on rating and invoicing. Breaking the system into these pieces allows teams to develop features in parallel, avoids monolithic complexity, and makes long-term maintenance far easier.

Q: Are the modules only for logistics companies?

Not at all. Any business with vehicles, drivers, routes, or dispatching can use them. That includes retailers with delivery fleets, wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers, field service teams, and utilities. If you rely on moving goods or people efficiently, these modules can support your operations - whether or not you consider yourself a “logistics company.”

Q: Can we start with a few modules and grow into a full TMS?

Yes - that’s the most common approach. You might start with fleet data (Drivers, Vehicles), then add Route Planning or Order Management when you’re ready. Later you integrate a Rate Engine and finally Invoices. You grow the system at your own pace instead of paying for features you don’t need yet or doing a risky all-at-once rebuild.

Q: Do we have to keep working with TwinCore after adoption?

No. This isn’t a hosted product or a subscription. You own the modules, the code, the deployment, and the integrations. We can help you build the system or support your team, but you’re not tied to us. Your internal developers can take over whenever you choose.

Modular building blocks for TMS, fleet, routing, and freight systems

Most logistics platforms are either too rigid or too bloated for how your supply chain actually works. You end up paying for features you don’t use, fighting around constraints you didn’t choose, and rewriting the same logic again and again.

TwinCore gives you modular logistics software: production-ready components for TMS, fleet, routing, pricing, and freight systems that you can assemble into exactly what your business needs – no more, no less.

Tired of choosing between rigid SaaS and risky full rewrites?

When Your Logistics Platform Can’t Keep Up Anymore

Most TMS and logistics systems become harder to change every year. Simple updates require deep modifications, new features depend on fragile workarounds, and any architectural shift threatens stability. Modules from the TwinCore Framework plug into your existing environment and extend it safely, without the cost or risk of a full replatforming.

When Rewriting the Entire TMS Is Too Risky

A complete rewrite sounds attractive until you consider operational downtime, migration complexity, budget impact, and months of instability. Modular components let teams modernize step by step: routing, pricing, billing, fleet, visibility and more - upgraded without disrupting daily operations.

When Legacy Systems Still Work… but Only Because People Patch the Gaps Manually

Paper-based steps, copy-paste workflows, spreadsheets and tribal knowledge keep legacy systems running, but they drain time and create costly errors. TwinCore modules fill these gaps with automated, reliable logic that works alongside the existing system and gradually replaces manual workflows.

When You Need Flexibility SaaS Platforms Can’t Offer

Off-the-shelf tools lock your business into someone else’s structure. Customizations are limited, integrations are fragile, and operational teams end up adjusting processes to fit the software. Our modules adapt to your blueprint - not the other way around - giving you full control over workflows, data models and integrations.

When Engineering Needs Predictable, Incremental Modernization

Big-bang projects introduce huge technical risk, while patching legacy code traps teams in endless maintenance. Modular logistics components let engineering deliver upgrades safely, test changes in isolation, deploy gradually, and evolve the architecture without breaking what already works.

When Operations Need Improvements Today, Not in 18 Months

Routing, pricing, tendering, billing, fleet, driver workflows, visibility - teams need real improvements now, not after a multi-year rebuild. Modules deliver immediate functionality that plugs into current workflows and starts reducing errors, delays and operational load from day one.

Modular building blocks for TMS, fleet, routing, and freight systems

TwinCore Logistics Software Modules are not drag-and-drop UI widgets. Each module is a production-ready component with its own:

domain logic
data model
workflows
API surface

Your engineering team or our developers can use them to assemble:

a custom TMS
a fleet management platform
a rate engine and pricing service
an internal freight tool
or a hybrid system that doesn’t fit off-the-shelf categories

This approach makes delivery faster, safer, and more cost-effective than building everything from scratch.

How modular logistics development works

Each module is a standalone .NET microservice-style component: drivers, vehicles, routes, pricing, orders, inspections, invoices, and more.

You can:

run modules independently
integrate them into your existing stack (ERP, WMS, TMS, telematics)
combine multiple modules into a full logistics platform

Instead of forcing your business into a one-size-fits-all TMS, you choose only what you actually need today, and add more as your operation grows.

Some examples:

Start with Drivers and Vehicles to fix fleet visibility
Add Route Planning to optimize dispatch and last-mile
Plug in Rate Engine for structured pricing across products and regions
Layer Invoices on top to automate billing and settlements

Modules give you a controlled way to evolve your logistics stack without a full rewrite.

When modules make more sense than a full TMS

A modular logistics system is usually the better choice when:

You’re replacing outdated parts of an existing TMS, not the whole thing
Your workflows are unique enough that generic SaaS tools can’t model them cleanly
You want to improve one area – routing, rating, fleet, billing – without touching everything else
You run mixed infrastructure and need building blocks that connect to ERP, WMS, telematics, and in-house systems
You want a faster path to production with lower risk and full control over your data

You modernize piece by piece, keeping what works, replacing what doesn’t.

Why a Modular Logistics System Makes Sense

Most logistics businesses don’t need a “one-size-fits-all” product. They need a system that reflects how they actually operate.

A modular architecture is built around independent services. Each module:

is a standalone microservice with its own API, data model, and UI
can run on its own or be combined into a bigger platform
stays generic, while the way modules interact encodes your business logic

You assemble the system that fits your operating model, instead of bending your processes to match a pre-built tool.

How companies use the modules in practice

A few real-world patterns:

Classic TMS

Combines most modules: drivers, vehicles, routing, pricing, orders, and invoicing.

Fleet management companies

Focus on vehicles, drivers, inspections, and fuel. Orders and rate modules are often unnecessary.

Asset-heavy businesses with contractors

Use rate, routing, and consolidation modules without managing drivers directly.

Delivery startups with complex pricing

Use the Rate Engine module inside their existing platform to power quotes and billing.

Warehouse-centric operations

Use Route Planning + Shipment Consolidation to optimize dispatch and zone deliveries.

Freight brokers

Use Order Management + Invoices + Rate Engine to build a lightweight internal freight system.

You don’t have to commit to a full suite from day one. You pick the modules that match today’s priorities and evolve from there.

Built to integrate with your tech stack

Every module works independently but connects cleanly with:

ERP and WMS systems

connect core operational data to planning, inventory, and fulfillment workflows without duplication

Carrier and telematics APIs

synchronize transport events, vehicle data, and tracking signals in real time

Accounting software

align operational execution with billing, cost tracking, and financial reconciliation

Customer portals

relevant data to clients without leaking internal system complexity

Internal tools and legacy systems

integrate existing workflows and data sources without forcing full system replacement

Mobile apps for drivers and dispatchers

support real-time updates, task execution, and communication in the field

The architecture is based on .NET microservices, making it easy to extend, customize, and integrate with anything your team is already using.

Why TwinCore Is a Practical Choice for Logistics Systems

Logistics software usually fails in the same places: brittle integrations, hard-coded rules, and architectures that don’t survive scale. Those problems rarely show up in version 1. They appear when operations grow and complexity becomes real.

Our modular approach focuses on:

Predictable system behavior

systems operate consistently under load, reducing surprises and operational risk

Clear boundaries between responsibilities

each module owns a defined scope, making changes safer and easier to manage

Modules that remain independent and understandable

functionality stays isolated and transparent, even as the system grows

Integrations treated as infrastructure, not side projects

connections are designed, maintained, and scaled as core system components

The result is a logistics stack that stays maintainable, adaptable, and transparent as your operation changes.

This only works if the team designing it understands how logistics companies operate in practice, not just on diagrams. That’s what TwinCore is built around.
