Logistics Industry Challenges We Solve
We understand the unique demands of the logistics and supply chain management industry and build solutions that address them head-on. With a market size of $17.4B logistics tech market, 17% CAGR, thelogistics sector demands technology partners who truly understand the industry.
Real-Time Tracking & Visibility
Supply chain stakeholders demand real-time visibility into shipment location, status, and ETA. This requires integration with GPS devices, carrier APIs, IoT sensors, and satellite tracking — aggregating data from dozens of sources into a single, accurate view.
Route Optimization & Scheduling
Last-mile delivery is the most expensive part of logistics. AI-powered route optimization considering traffic, weather, delivery windows, vehicle capacity, and driver availability can reduce costs by 20-30% — but the algorithms are complex and must run in real-time.
Warehouse Management & Automation
Modern warehouses need software that coordinates pick/pack/ship operations, manages inventory across locations, integrates with robotics and automated systems, and handles the complexity of multi-channel fulfillment (DTC, wholesale, marketplace).
Supply Chain Coordination & Visibility
Global supply chains involve dozens of parties: suppliers, manufacturers, carriers, customs brokers, and retailers. Coordinating data flow, managing exceptions, and providing end-to-end visibility requires sophisticated integration platforms and EDI/API connectivity.
How We Help Logistics Businesses
Our team brings deep logistics domain knowledge combined with technical excellence to deliver solutions that work in the real world — not just in demos.
Real-Time GPS & IoT Tracking
We build tracking platforms that aggregate data from GPS devices, carrier APIs (FedEx, UPS, USPS), IoT temperature/humidity sensors, and geofencing to provide stakeholders with real-time visibility and proactive exception alerts.
AI-Powered Route Optimization
Our route optimization engines use machine learning to factor in traffic patterns, delivery windows, vehicle capacity, fuel costs, and driver preferences — reducing delivery costs by 20-30% while improving on-time performance.
Modern Warehouse Management
We build WMS platforms that handle inventory management, order fulfillment, pick path optimization, barcode/RFID scanning, and integration with robotics systems — supporting high-volume operations with 99.9%+ accuracy.
End-to-End Supply Chain Platforms
We create visibility platforms that connect every node in your supply chain: supplier portals, PO management, shipment tracking, customs documentation, and delivery confirmation — with dashboards that surface exceptions in real-time.
