Logistics Software Development
Logistics software succeeds or fails on exception handling. The happy path is straightforward; the value is in what happens when a shipment is delayed, split, damaged or delivered to the wrong door.

Constraints specific to logistics
The problems that shape software here, and that generic engineering tends to discover late.
Every partner exchanges data differently
Carriers, customs brokers, warehouses and customers each have their own formats — EDI, API, spreadsheet, portal — and integration breadth is the real work.
Exceptions are the normal case
Delays, splits, damage and failed delivery are routine, and software that treats them as edge cases pushes the work back onto phone calls.
Field users are driving or lifting
Drivers and warehouse staff use software in motion, in gloves, often without signal. Interaction design here is an operational constraint, not a preference.
Everyone wants visibility, with different meanings
A customer, an operations manager and a carrier each mean something different by tracking, and one shared view serves none of them well.
Software we build for logistics
Tracking and visibility
Shipment status aggregated across carriers and partners, with exception surfacing rather than a status list nobody reads.
Warehouse systems
Receiving, picking, packing and stock control designed for handheld use, with offline tolerance where coverage is patchy.
Transport management
Planning, routing and driver applications that reflect real constraints — vehicle capacity, driver hours, delivery windows.
Partner integration
EDI, API and file-based exchange with the validation and error handling that keep a bad partner feed from corrupting your data.
Standards that apply to software in this sector
What the software has to be built to satisfy. Which of these apply to you depends on your jurisdiction, your data and your customers.
[ 01 ]
Data exchange
- EDI (X12, EDIFACT)
- GS1
- SSCC
[ 02 ]
Transport regulation
- ELD mandate (US)
- Driver hours rules
[ 03 ]
Dangerous goods
- ADR
- IATA DGR
[ 04 ]
Customs
- Customs declaration formats
- Origin documentation
[ 05 ]
Personal data
- GDPR
These are the standards we design and build to meet. Certification or attestation of your organisation is a separate exercise, carried out by a qualified assessor — we can support that process with documentation and evidence, but we do not certify it.

The service lines this sector most often needs.
Custom Software Development
Bespoke systems shaped around your operations, integrated with the tools and data you already run on.
Mobile App Development
Native and cross-platform iOS and Android apps, built for real network conditions rather than office Wi-Fi.
IoT & Connected Devices
Connectivity, telemetry pipelines and fleet management for physical estates in the field.
Data Analytics & Engineering
Pipelines, warehousing and reporting built so the numbers reconcile and people act on them.
Projects in this space
Food Delivery
TocoPick
A full food delivery platform — customer app, rider app and vendor dashboard — built in house.
Logistics & Courier Aggregation
Courier Genie
A courier comparison and booking platform spanning customer, vendor and admin — pickups across Delhi/NCR, delivery across India.
Logistics: common questions
Something specific to your operation?
Send it over — sector questions are the ones we most like getting.
Ask us01
Can you integrate with carriers and partners still using EDI?
Yes. EDI remains widespread in logistics and is not going away, so the practical approach is translating it at the boundary into a clean internal model rather than letting partner-specific formats spread through the system.
02
How do you handle exceptions?
By making them first-class rather than error states. A delayed, split or damaged shipment is a normal outcome with its own workflow, ownership and resolution path — which is the difference between software that reduces phone calls and software that generates them.
03
Will warehouse and driver applications work without signal?
They need to, so they are designed to. Handheld and driver applications hold data locally, function offline and synchronise when coverage returns, with conflicts resolved deliberately rather than by whichever device syncs last.
04
Do you replace our WMS or TMS?
Usually not. More often the valuable work is integration and the layer above — cross-partner visibility, exception management and reporting that neither system provides well — while the transactional systems stay in place.
