Logistics software built by people who have been inside a live warehouse

Dispatch that argues with the WMS. Stock that disagrees with accounting. A driver app nobody uses because it needs three taps to confirm a delivery. We have fixed these in operation, without stopping the operation.

Overview

Where logistics software pays for itself

Three systems have to agree: what was ordered, what is in the warehouse, what was invoiced. Manual reconciliation is the real cost when they do not.

What custom logistics software replaces, and when it is worth it

Logistics software is three systems that have to agree: what was ordered, what is physically in the warehouse, and what was invoiced. When they disagree, someone reconciles by hand — and that manual reconciliation is the real cost of a mismatched system.

A custom build starts from your process: your picking strategy, your carrier mix, your exception rules. A boxed WMS starts from its own and asks the warehouse to adapt, which works when your process is standard and fails when it is your advantage.

When to build rather than buy

Build when the process is your competitive advantage, when per-user licences have outgrown a build, or when the integration layer is where the pain actually lives. Most of our logistics work is the third case: a box for the standard core, custom for the edges and the integrations.

Signals your logistics stack is costing you money

dispatch runs on spreadsheets and phone calls next to the official system;
stock in the WMS and stock in accounting disagree daily;
every new client means another manual workaround;
carrier documents are re-keyed by hand from PDFs and emails;
nobody can answer "where is this shipment" without calling someone.

What we build

Six systems, and the integration layer that decides whether any of them are worth having.

WMS

Receiving, putaway, picking strategies, packing, inventory counts, barcode and scanner workflows that work with gloves on and on shared terminals.

TMS

Orders, planning, carrier integration, tracking, proof of delivery and freight cost reconciliation — the part that quietly loses money.

Fleet

Vehicles, maintenance schedules, fuel, driver documents, telematics ingestion, and alerts that fire before a truck is off the road.

Client portals

Shipment status, documents, claims. Usually the fastest return in this industry: it removes the phone calls.

Integrations

ERP and accounting, marketplaces, carrier and postal APIs, EDI, customs brokers. We start with an audit of what moves where and who wins on conflict.

AI where it earns its keep

Document intake from carriers, exception triage, ETA explanations. See AI development.

Build or buy

The honest version

We lose some deals on this page on purpose: a boxed WMS is genuinely the right answer for a standard process.

How to decide

Buy a boxed WMS if your process is standard and you are willing to change it to fit the software. Cheaper and faster, and we will say so.

Build when the process is your competitive advantage, when you have flows a box cannot express, or when per-user licence costs have outgrown the build cost.

Most often: both — box for the standard core, custom for the edges and the integration layer. That third option is a lot of what we do.

What logistics projects cost with us

Client portal on top of an existing system — $7,990–18,900, 3–8 weeks.
Warehouse module for a single site with barcode flows — from $18,900, 6–8 weeks.
TMS or WMS core with integrations — from $35,900, 2–4 months.
Fleet management system — from $18,900, 6–10 weeks.

We will model the three-year total against your headcount and a boxed licence before you decide. If the box wins, that is a useful week for both of us.

Why us

Why logistics teams work with us

Four things we can prove, not four adjectives.

We have been inside a live warehouse

Barcode flows on shared terminals, gloves on, poor Wi-Fi at the far end of the racks. That context decides interface choices no specification captures.

Integration first, not last

We start with an audit of what data moves where and which system wins on conflict — the question that decides whether the project works.

Rollout without stopping the operation

Pilot on one site or one flow, parallel run with the old process, cutover plan with a rollback. Warehouses do not reward big-bang projects.

Your system, your data

Repository and cloud in your accounts, IP assigned at delivery, runbook on handover — no licence that expires and takes your operation with it.

FAQ

Logistics questions

What operations directors ask in the first hour.

How much does a WMS cost?

Custom: from $18,900 for a single-site module, from $35,900 for a core with integrations. Boxed products charge per user per month, which is why we model the three-year total rather than the sticker.

Can you integrate with our existing ERP?

That is most of this work. We begin with an integration audit: what data moves, in which direction, and which system wins when they disagree.

Will the warehouse have to stop?

No. Pilot on one site or one flow, parallel run with the old process for a defined period, and a cutover plan with a rollback.

Do you support barcode scanners and rugged devices?

Yes, including shared-terminal flows, offline-tolerant screens and interfaces usable with gloves on.

What about telematics and carrier APIs?

Standard work for us: telematics ingestion, carrier and postal API integration, freight cost reconciliation.

Do you have logistics case studies?

Yes, anonymised, with real numbers — see our work. We publish an industry page only once there is a case behind it.

How do you compare with fleet management software companies and WMS vendors?

Fleet management software companies and warehouse management software companies sell licences with a fixed process model, and WMS software companies price per user for a workflow you did not design; we build around the process you already run and integrate the boxes you keep. Where a licence is genuinely cheaper, we say so during scoping.
