Logistics software built by engineers who understand data flows as complex as your supply chains.
We build full-stack logistics applications — operational dashboards, carrier integration layers, shipment tracking systems, and the data backends that manage freight, fleet, or warehouse operations at scale. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Your TMS does some of what you need. The API integrations you want aren't in the TMS. The reporting your customers ask for isn't in the portal. Full-stack custom software fills those gaps with a system you own.
Logistics companies operate at the intersection of data systems that don't talk to each other. Your TMS has shipment data. Your carrier portals have tracking data. Your customers have ERP systems with purchase order data. Your accounting system has invoice data. Getting those systems to exchange data in a way that creates a coherent operational picture — one where a dispatcher can see every load's status without switching between five systems — requires a custom integration layer that generic TMS software doesn't provide.
The second challenge is customer-facing transparency. Shippers have been conditioned by Amazon to expect real-time visibility on every shipment. A customer portal that provides that visibility — not just "call us for a status update" — is a differentiator for the logistics companies that have it and a retention risk for those that don't. Building that portal requires real-time data from your carrier integrations surfaced in a customer-friendly interface.
Full-stack development for logistics means building the data integration layer, the operational tools on top of it, and the customer-facing surfaces that create the visibility both your dispatchers and your customers expect.
A full-stack logistics application — operational frontend, carrier/3PL API integration layer, shipment data backend, and customer portal — built around your specific operation and not a generic TMS template.
Carrier and 3PL API integration layer
Automated data exchange with FedEx, UPS, USPS, LTL carriers (FreightQuote, uShip), and 3PL portals (ShipBob, ShipHero, Flexe) for rate quotes, booking confirmation, and tracking event ingestion. EDI (X12 204, 214, 990) integration where required by carrier or customer.
Operational dispatch dashboard
All active shipments in a unified view — carrier, status, current location (via MacroPoint or FourKites), delivery ETA, and exception flags. Load assignment, carrier procurement, and documentation management from one screen.
Customer visibility portal
Shipper login with their active and historical shipments, real-time tracking with map visualisation, document access (BOL, POD, invoice), and exception alerts (delay notifications, delivery confirmation).
Rate management and bid comparison
RFQ creation for spot market loads. Carrier bid collection and comparison view. Historical rate data by lane for benchmark reference. Margin calculation at load creation.
Reporting and analytics backend
On-time delivery rate by carrier and lane. Transit time variance analysis. Cost-per-lane trends. Carrier scorecard. Customer reporting exports for shipper SLA compliance reporting. Built on Next.js, Postgres, REST/EDI carrier API integrations, MacroPoint/FourKites for tracking, and Google Maps for visualisation.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Logistics is a low-margin business where technology ROI needs to be measured in dispatcher productivity and carrier rate improvement. Fixed scope and fixed price is how you evaluate that ROI before committing — not after you've spent more than you planned.

Yes — we commonly build a layer on top of an existing TMS that provides the carrier integrations, customer portal, and reporting the TMS doesn't offer. The TMS remains the system of record for shipments; the custom layer provides the capabilities it's missing.
We implement X12 EDI transactions via a VAN (like SPS Commerce or DiCentral) or direct SFTP exchange. The EDI messages are parsed into your data model on ingestion and generated from your data model on send. EDI integration scope depends on the number of transaction types and partners.
Yes — the portal is multi-tenant. Each shipper sees only their own shipments. Shipper administrators can invite additional users from their organisation with view-only or full access permissions.
Carrier integrations, operational dashboard, customer portal, rate management, and analytics typically runs $45k–$90k. EDI integration and multi-modal complexity add scope. Fixed-price.
