About

Technology for the Indian Logistics Industry

India's logistics sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation — driven by e-commerce growth, GST-enabled national freight movement, and customers who now expect real-time shipment visibility as a baseline service rather than a premium feature. The logistics companies that win this decade are those that use technology to deliver faster, cheaper, and with greater transparency than competitors relying on manual processes.

The gap between leading logistics platforms and the average company's technology is significant. Many Indian freight and courier businesses still rely on Excel sheets for load planning, WhatsApp for driver coordination, and phone calls for delivery status — a model that limits both operational scale and customer service quality. Custom logistics software replaces this fragmented approach with integrated digital workflows that give your entire operation — dispatchers, drivers, warehouse teams, and customers — a real-time shared view of every shipment.

We build custom logistics management software for businesses that need platforms shaped around their specific freight types, route structures, carrier relationships, and customer commitments. We have delivered systems for regional courier companies, national 3PL operators, e-commerce fulfilment businesses, cold chain logistics providers, and enterprise last-mile delivery networks.

Our logistics work connects to our mobile app development, cloud infrastructure, and CRM & automation capabilities. See also our industry pages for fintech and real estate.

Process

Logistics Software Development Process

Built around your operational workflows — tested with dispatchers and drivers, not just IT teams.

1
Operations Discovery
Spend time with your dispatchers, warehouse managers, drivers, and customer service teams to understand the real operational workflows — not the documented ones, but the actual ones. Identify the specific bottlenecks, exception types, and data gaps causing operational cost and customer service problems.
2
System Architecture
Define the platform architecture — which modules to build, which third-party services to integrate (maps, GPS hardware, carriers), the data model for your freight and vehicle types, and the integration points with existing ERP and customer systems. Technology stack selection based on your vehicle volumes and tracking frequency requirements.
3
GPS & Hardware Integration
Configure and test integration with your GPS hardware devices. Validate data accuracy, transmission frequency, and connectivity in the specific geographic areas your fleet operates. For new GPS hardware deployments, coordinate hardware installation with the platform development schedule so both are ready together.
4
Development Sprints
Agile development in two-week sprints with working demos for your operations team after each sprint. Core tracking first, then dispatch and route management, then driver app, then warehouse management and analytics. Each sprint's output is testable by your operations team against real shipment scenarios.
5
Field Testing
Driver app tested with actual drivers on real routes — covering offline behaviour, notification reliability, and UI usability at the roadside. Fleet tracking validated against GPS accuracy and connectivity conditions on your specific route network. Load testing simulating peak day vehicle volumes.
6
Parallel Running
New platform operated in parallel with existing systems for a defined period — allowing operations teams to cross-check outputs and build confidence before cutting over. Data migration of historical shipment records and vehicle data. Staff training for dispatchers, warehouse teams, and driver app rollout.
7
Live Support
Post-launch monitoring dashboards, rapid response for production incidents, performance optimisation as volume grows, new feature additions, GPS hardware additions as the fleet expands, and carrier integration updates. SLA-matched support contracts — logistics platforms often operate 24/7 with operational criticality.

Testimonials

What Clients Say

★★★★★

"First-attempt delivery rate went from 78% to 91% in the first month. The driver app made the difference — drivers know exactly where to go, customers get a real-time link, and we have digital POD for every delivery. Customer status calls are down 55%."

👤
Rajesh Kumar
Operations Director, SwiftExpress Logistics
★★★★★

"Our 3PL clients were demanding tracking portals we couldn't provide with our old system. The new platform gave every client a branded portal with real-time data. We have added four new enterprise clients since launch — they would not have signed without the technology."

👤
Amit Bansal
CEO, Precision 3PL Solutions
★★★★★

"Temperature breach alerts saved us from two serious regulatory incidents. Before this system, we would not have known about a reefer malfunction until the delivery — now we get a WhatsApp alert within 3 minutes and can reroute to the nearest hub for transfer."

Get a Demo
What is a Transport Management System? +
A TMS manages shipment planning, carrier assignment, route optimisation, tracking, proof of delivery, and freight billing. A custom TMS is shaped around your specific freight types, carrier relationships, customer SLAs, and reporting — not a generic platform you adapt to.
Can you build real-time fleet tracking? +
Yes. We integrate with AIS 140-compliant GPS devices and major hardware vendors (Teltonika, LocoNav, Intellitrack) for real-time vehicle tracking with live map view, ETA calculation, route deviation alerts, and trip history. Supports all vehicle types — trucks, bikes, tempo, three-wheelers.
How does route optimisation save money? +
Route optimisation algorithms minimise total distance and time while respecting delivery windows, vehicle capacity, and driver hours. Typically reduces fleet distance by 15–30% and increases deliveries per vehicle per day — directly cutting fuel costs and enabling volume growth without adding fleet capacity.
Do you build driver mobile apps? +
Yes. React Native apps for Android and iOS with delivery list, navigation, customer contact, proof of delivery (photo, signature, OTP), exception reporting, and offline functionality for low-connectivity areas. Simple, large-text UI designed for use at the roadside.
Can you build a warehouse management system? +
Yes. WMS covering goods receipt, putaway, bin management, barcode scanning, pick-pack-ship, stock counts, and real-time inventory. Integrates with TMS for dock scheduling and with ERP for inventory and financial synchronisation.
Can you integrate with ERP systems? +
Yes. ERP integration (SAP, Oracle, Tally, Microsoft Dynamics) for order release, freight cost posting, and inventory synchronisation — using REST APIs, webhooks, or EDI depending on what your ERP supports.
How much does logistics software cost? +
A fleet tracking system starts from ₹5–12 lakh. A TMS or WMS with mobile app ranges from ₹15–40 lakh. A comprehensive 3PL platform costs ₹40 lakh+. Pricing depends on module scope, integration complexity, and vehicle volumes — we provide detailed estimates after a requirements discussion.
Do you build cold chain monitoring systems? +
Yes. Real-time temperature and humidity monitoring alongside GPS tracking, with automated alerts for threshold breaches and compliance documentation for pharmaceutical and food shipments. Integrates with reefer unit controls for remote temperature management.
How long does logistics software development take? +
A fleet tracking platform takes 8–14 weeks. A full TMS with driver app and customer portal takes 4–7 months. A comprehensive 3PL platform with WMS and ERP integration takes 8–15 months. We time go-live to avoid peak season logistics periods where possible.
Can the platform handle peak season volumes? +
Yes. Auto-scaling AWS infrastructure increases capacity during Diwali, year-end, and other peak periods automatically. Load testing simulates peak day vehicle and shipment volumes before go-live to validate performance under expected maximums.
