Custom Logistics ERP Software Development
Fleet management, intelligent route optimisation, freight billing, and carrier management built as one integrated system ā not a patchwork of disconnected tools. Purpose-built for carriers, freight brokers, 3PLs, and in-house logistics operations.

Today's Dispatch Summary
The Problem
Why Generic TMS and ERP Systems Fall Short for Logistics
Route planning done in spreadsheets or disconnected mapping tools
Freight billing requires manual data re-entry from dispatch records
No single view of fleet location, load status, and driver availability
Customer calls for shipment status because there's no self-service portal
Carrier rate management locked in email threads and Excel sheets
Compliance documentation generated manually for each cross-border shipment
Solution
Logistics ERP Modules We Build
Fleet Management & Asset Tracking
Real-time GPS tracking of every vehicle, trailer, and asset. Driver assignment, licence expiry alerts, fuel consumption logging, and vehicle lifecycle management in one system.
Route Optimisation & Dispatch
Algorithm-driven route planning that accounts for delivery windows, vehicle load capacity, driver hours-of-service regulations, and live traffic data. Reduce fuel consumption and driver overtime simultaneously.
Freight Billing & Revenue Management
Automated freight invoice generation from confirmed deliveries, lane-based rate management, fuel surcharge calculations, accessorial charges, and customer-specific tariff structures.
Carrier & Vendor Management
Carrier scorecards, contract rate management, lane bid management, and preferred carrier routing rules. Full visibility into third-party carrier performance against SLAs.
Real-Time Shipment Tracking
Customer-facing shipment tracking portals, automated ETA notifications via SMS/email, proof of delivery capture, and exception alerting for delays, damages, and missed windows.
Customs & Trade Compliance
Country-of-origin tracking, HS code management, customs documentation generation, denied party screening, and compliance audit trails for cross-border shipments.
3PL Integration & EDI
EDI 204/210/214 transaction sets for third-party logistics providers. API integrations with major 3PLs, freight brokers, and carrier networks including FedEx, UPS, and DHL.
Logistics Analytics & KPI Dashboards
On-time delivery rates, cost-per-mile, lane profitability, driver performance, and fuel efficiency ā all in configurable dashboards with drill-down to individual shipment level.

FAQ
Logistics ERP Questions
Can the route optimisation engine handle time-window delivery constraints?
Yes. The routing engine supports hard and soft delivery windows, service time at each stop, driver hours-of-service regulations (HOS), vehicle capacity constraints by weight and volume, and multi-day route planning. It re-optimises dynamically when new orders are added during the dispatch cycle.
How does the GPS tracking integrate with our existing fleet hardware?
We integrate with most major GPS hardware vendors via their MQTT or REST APIs ā including Samsara, Verizon Connect, Geotab, and Omnitracs. For newer fleets, we can recommend appropriate hardware and manage the provisioning.
Can we give customers access to track their own shipments?
Yes. We build customer-facing shipment tracking portals with automated ETA updates via SMS and email. Customers see their shipment on a live map with milestone updates from pick-up through delivery. Proof of delivery photos are available immediately upon capture.
How do you handle freight billing with multiple customer rate structures?
The billing engine supports customer-specific rate tables, lane-based pricing, distance-based calculations, volume tiers, fuel surcharge formulas, and accessorial charge schedules. Invoices generate automatically from confirmed delivery data and can be exported to your accounting system.
Can this work for a 3PL operation serving multiple shippers?
Yes. We've built multi-shipper 3PL platforms with shipper-specific reporting, rate management, and customer portals alongside the core operations system. The architecture keeps shipper data logically separated while allowing consolidated operations visibility for the 3PL.
