Logistics founders see inefficiency everywhere. We help you build the app that fixes it, with real-time tracking, route optimisation, and clean workflows.

Logistics is one of the few industries where the founders who come to us already have a clear problem to solve. They've spent years watching routes get dispatched by phone call, jobs get lost in WhatsApp threads, and proof of delivery sitting on paper in someone's van. The frustration is real and the opportunity is obvious. The challenge is building software that actually works in the field, not just in a boardroom demo.
Most logistics apps fail because they're designed by people who've never been on a loading dock. The driver app is clunky, the connectivity assumptions are wrong, and the dispatcher dashboard doesn't match how dispatch actually happens. We design for the operational reality. That means offline-first architecture, minimal taps to complete a job, and interfaces that work on a phone screen at 5am.
The data layer is where logistics platforms get interesting. Real-time location tracking, ETA calculations, route sequencing, proof of delivery with photos and signatures — these all need to work together reliably at scale. We've worked through the infrastructure decisions and know which third-party APIs hold up in production and which ones don't.
Logistics software also tends to need two or three distinct user interfaces: the driver app, the dispatcher dashboard, and often a customer portal for consignment tracking. We scope and build all three, with a clear data model tying them together, rather than bolting each one on separately after the fact.
The features that make or break a logistics platform — built to handle real-world conditions.
We build fleet management and dispatch platforms, last-mile delivery tracking apps, warehouse and inventory management tools, freight brokerage platforms, route optimisation tools, and supply chain visibility dashboards. Most share a common need for real-time data, offline capability, and clean interfaces for drivers and operations staff.
A logistics app with real-time tracking, job assignment, and a management dashboard typically costs between $80,000 and $300,000. Platforms with complex route optimisation, ERP integrations, or multi-party supply chain visibility sit at the higher end. We scope everything in Inception and give you a fixed price before development starts.
Drivers and warehouse staff often work in low-connectivity environments, so offline capability is a core architecture decision, not a feature we add later. We build apps that queue actions locally and sync when connectivity returns, so jobs get captured regardless of signal strength.
Yes. We integrate with third-party TMS platforms, ERP systems like MYOB and Xero, telematics providers, and mapping APIs like Google Maps Platform and HERE. During Inception we map your integration requirements and assess what's achievable within your budget.
Most logistics platforms need at least two interfaces — a mobile app for drivers in the field and a web dashboard for dispatchers and managers. We build both, with data syncing in real time between them. The driver app is typically Flutter for iOS and Android; the dashboard is a web app.
A logistics platform with driver app, dispatcher dashboard, and real-time tracking typically takes 16 to 22 weeks from first call to launch. Apps with complex route optimisation algorithms or deep ERP integrations take longer. We build iteratively and get core dispatch and tracking live first.
