Working in logistics & transport

Logistics software is judged on what happens when the connection drops. Designs that assume a reliable network fail in exactly the places the work happens. We design for intermittent connectivity, one-handed operation and devices that are being used while wearing gloves.

We hold no accreditation in this sector and do not claim any. Where an engagement touches a regulated activity, the obligations that apply are defined by your own legal and compliance advisers; our part is to build a system that can evidence what they require.

02Recurring problems

Problems we see in this sector

None of these is unusual, and none of them is a failing. They are what the work in this sector tends to look like before anyone touches it.

  • Job status only accurate once someone gets back to the office
  • Proof of delivery captured on paper and re-keyed later
  • Route and schedule changes communicated by phone call
  • Warehouse systems that cannot see transport systems
  • Devices used in poor connectivity, poor light and poor weather

Tell us how your logistics & transport organisation actually works

Sector familiarity gets us through the vocabulary. The part that decides the shape of the work is how your organisation does the thing it does — which is the part we would rather hear from you than assume.

We read every enquiry ourselves. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and tell you what to look for instead.
