Before anyone writes code, we work out what you actually need built and what it will cost to run.
- Build a technology roadmap that matches your lanes, fleet size, and growth plan
- Confirm which regulations apply to your operation: FMCSA, ELD, GDPR, ISO
- Plan cloud migration for systems currently running on-premise
- Model build-versus-buy against real licensing costs at your projected volume
- Map where AI and IoT reduce cost rather than add complexity
- Audit integration dependencies across your current stack before anything changes
A TMS is the system most carriers inherit, not choose. We build one that matches how you actually plan and execute freight.
- Build freight planning, carrier selection, and load tendering workflows
- Automate rate management, accessorial charges, and settlement
- Build shipment execution tracking from tender through proof of delivery
- Support EDI 204, 214, 210, and 990 for shipper and carrier data exchange
- Build SLA and carrier scorecard reporting your team can act on
- Migrate historical shipment and rate data off legacy platforms
Warehouse software fails when it ignores how the floor actually works. We build for scanners, forklifts, and shift handovers.
- Build receiving, putaway, picking, packing, and shipping workflows
- Support barcode and RFID scanning on handheld and mounted devices
- Build slotting optimization and space utilization reporting
- Automate cycle counting and inventory reconciliation against ERP
- Build wave planning and labour management for multi-shift operations
- Integrate with warehouse automation including conveyors and sortation
Fleet software earns its keep by catching problems before they become downtime.
- Build vehicle tracking, utilization reporting, and asset management
- Build predictive maintenance scheduling from telematics and engine data
- Track driver behaviour, safety scoring, and hours of service
- Build fuel management with consumption tracking and card reconciliation
- Integrate with Samsara, Motive, and other telematics providers
- Build cost-per-mile reporting by vehicle, driver, and lane
Most shippers don’t need another system. They need to see what’s already happening across the ones they have.
- Build unified dashboards pulling from TMS, WMS, and carrier feeds
- Build real-time shipment status with exception alerting
- Build demand forecasting and inventory positioning analytics
- Build supplier and carrier performance reporting
- Build customer-facing tracking portals fed from the same data
- Build control tower views for multi-site and multi-carrier operations
Right now your TMS, your WMS, and your accounting system each hold a version of the truth. We connect them.
- Build EDI translation for shipper, carrier, and 3PL data exchange
- Integrate ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics
- Connect GPS telematics, ELD hardware, and IoT sensors
- Build custom APIs for third-party logistics platforms
- Centralize data in a cloud warehouse for reporting across systems
- Build monitoring through system integration so a failed sync surfaces early
Carriers rarely replace systems because they want to. We move you off what you’ve outgrown without stopping operations.
- Audit existing systems, data models, and integration dependencies first
- Migrate on-premises platforms to cloud infrastructure
- Re-architect monoliths into services that can be updated independently
- Migrate historical shipment, rate, and inventory data with field-level mapping
- Run phased cutover so the old system stays live until the new one is proven
- Plan it using our application modernization framework
We build AI into logistics software where it changes a number on the P&L.
- Build demand forecasting models for capacity and inventory planning
- Build dynamic route optimization that recalculates on live conditions
- Build predictive maintenance flagging failures before breakdown
- Build dwell time and detention prediction for yard management
- Build automated exception handling for shipments going off plan

Our Logistics Software Development Process
Our process is built for operations teams that can’t stop moving freight while you swap systems. Integration scope, data migration, and compliance are settled in step one rather than discovered in step five.
step 1
Requirement Gathering
We analyze your operation, your constraints, and where time is currently lost.
- Conduct in-depth business and workflow analysis
- Identify where manual process is costing hours
- Define software requirements and integration scope
- Align expectations and timelines with stakeholders
step 2
Data Audit & Migration Planning
Most logistics software replaces something. We plan the handover before design starts.
- Audit existing shipment, rate, and inventory data
- Map fields between your current system and the new one
- Plan phased migration that keeps the old system running
- Confirm what gets archived and what carries forward
step 3
System Design
We design architecture that holds up under peak volume rather than average.
- Create wireframes and system architecture
- Plan database and infrastructure for Q4 load
- Design against FMCSA, ELD, and data protection requirements
- Build the integration map before writing integration code
step 4
Development & Integration
We build in short cycles with integration work running alongside, not after.
- Build core workflows with working software each sprint
- Connect EDI, ERP, telematics, and accounting systems
- Build interfaces for dispatch, warehouse, and admin users
- Optimize for speed and data integrity under load
step 5
Testing & Quality Assurance
We test at the volumes you’ll hit in peak season, not an average week.
- Functional, integration, and stress testing across user roles
- Load testing at peak season volumes
- Security and penetration testing before live data
- Validate EDI exchange and real-time tracking end to end
step 6
Deployment & Team Training
We hand over a system your team can run without us.
- Deploy to cloud or on-premise, whichever your policy requires
- Configure security protocols and access controls
- Train dispatch, warehouse, and admin users on their own workflows
- Run performance checks and monitor the first weeks closely
step 7
Maintenance & Scaling
Support runs past the warranty period and scales with your lanes.
- Ship security patches and feature upgrades
- Monitor integration health and sync failures
- Scale infrastructure as volume and user count grow
- Expand functionality as the operation changes

Third-Party
Integrations
Integrating with payment processors, fleet management tools, or CRMs requires more resources, increasing the cost.
Development
Approach
Custom software offers flexibility but at a higher cost; off-the-shelf solutions are cheaper but less scalable.
Development Team
& Location
Local teams are typically more expensive than offshore developers, affecting the overall cost.
Post-Launch
Maintenance & Support
Ongoing updates, security patches, and performance monitoring are necessary for long-term software stability.
Hire Logistics Software Developers
Work with engineers who have shipped TMS, WMS, and fleet platforms into live operations. We scope, build, and support the system rather than handing over a repo and walking away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Logistics software development costs between $70,000 and $500,000. A focused tool like a tracking or scheduling system starts around $70,000. A full TMS or WMS with EDI and ERP integration runs $150,000 to $300,000. Enterprise platforms with AI forecasting and IoT telematics exceed $500,000.
A focused tool takes 4 to 6 months. A full TMS or WMS with integrations takes 9 to 16 months. Timelines depend on how many systems it connects to, how many user roles it supports, and how much historical data needs migrating.
A TMS manages freight in motion: planning, carrier selection, tendering, tracking, and settlement. A WMS manages inventory at rest: receiving, putaway, picking, packing, and shipping. Most operations run both and connect them, so a shipment leaving the warehouse updates the TMS without anyone retyping it.
We audit your current records first, map the fields between old and new systems, and migrate in phases while the existing system stays live. Nothing goes offline during peak season, and we agree on what gets archived versus carried forward before migration starts.
We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and other ERP systems, plus TMS platforms, telematics providers including Samsara and Motive, and EDI networks. We support EDI 204, 214, 210 and 990 for shipper and carrier data exchange.
FMCSA governs how US motor carriers record hours of service, vehicle inspections, and driver safety data. Software handling those needs certified ELD integration, tamper-evident logs, and an audit trail an inspector can pull during a roadside stop or compliance review.
We do both. Legacy modernization covers cloud migration, re-architecting monoliths into services, and adding AI or IoT to systems already in use. Where a full rebuild isn’t justified, we modernize the parts holding you back.
Transportation management systems, warehouse management systems, fleet management software, freight and shipping platforms, telematics systems, asset tracking, route optimization, and supply chain visibility platforms.
Support covers integration monitoring, security patches, performance tuning, and feature releases. We watch sync failures and EDI exchange health specifically, since those break quietly and surface as operational problems days later.
