Logistics Software That Fits Your Operation
Generic TMS platforms are built for large carriers or 3PLs, not 5-15 person freight forwarders. We build custom software around how you actually work — load creation, carrier coordination, cross-border compliance, tracking — for a fixed fee. You own the code.
Why Small Logistics Firms Get Frustrated with TMS Platforms
Off-the-shelf transportation management systems like McLeod, TMW, or MercuryGate are designed for large trucking companies with dedicated dispatchers, compliance teams, and IT departments. If you're a 5-15 person freight forwarder or cross-border carrier, you end up paying for enterprise features while the workflows you actually need aren't supported.
Per-seat pricing that scales with headcount
TMS platforms charge $100-$300+ per user per month. For a 6-person team, that's $7k-$22k a year in software fees. As you hire more coordinators or dispatchers, your software bill grows with them.
Built for domestic trucking, not specialty freight
Most TMS platforms assume standard LTL or FTL freight. If you handle cross-border logistics, customs brokerage, specialized cargo, or direct shipper-carrier connections, the workflows you need aren't there.
Spreadsheets still run the operation
Even with a TMS, you're still using Excel for load costing, carrier rates, or customs documentation because the platform doesn't fit your process. You're paying for software but still doing manual work.
Integration costs add up
Need to connect to your accounting software, customs portals, or shipper/carrier systems? Most TMS platforms make integrations expensive add-ons or require custom API work at enterprise rates.
How Custom Logistics Software Solves This
We build software that fits the way freight forwarders and carriers actually work. Load management, carrier coordination, customs workflows, and tracking — built around your operation, not a generic template.
Fixed pricing, owned software
One price, unlimited users, no monthly subscriptions eating into your margins. You own the code, and scaling your team doesn't increase your software cost.
Built around your freight workflows
We spend time understanding how you create loads, manage carriers, handle cross-border compliance, and track shipments. The software we build matches your process, not a one-size-fits-all TMS.
Fast delivery
Working prototype in 5-7 days. Production-ready software in 6-8 weeks. No year-long enterprise implementations or multi-quarter rollouts.
Integrations included
Need to sync with QuickBooks? Connect to customs portals? Pull rates from carrier APIs? We build integrations as part of the project, not as expensive add-ons.
How We Work
Every logistics software project follows the same process: understand your operation, prototype in days, build and refine over weeks, and hand over the code.
Discovery call
We learn your business: how loads are created, how you coordinate with carriers and shippers, what customs or compliance workflows matter, and where time gets lost. This isn't a sales pitch — we're mapping your operation.
Working prototype in days
We build a working prototype of your core workflow. You click through it, give feedback, and we refine. No mockups, no slide decks — real software that handles load creation and tracking.
Build and iterate (6-8 weeks)
We build the full system, ship updates regularly, and iterate based on your feedback. You see progress in real time as we add carrier management, cost tracking, and integrations.
Go live and handover
We deploy the software, train your team, and hand over the code. You own it — no vendor lock-in, no ongoing license fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does custom logistics software cost?
Most logistics software projects are priced as a fixed fee based on scope. A typical system handling load creation, carrier coordination, cross-border tracking, and cost management costs significantly less over 2-3 years than per-seat TMS platforms. You own the software, so there are no recurring license costs.
How long does it take to build?
We deliver a working prototype in 5-7 days. The full system typically takes 6-8 weeks from prototype approval to go-live. This is faster than most TMS implementations because we focus on your core freight workflow first.
What kind of logistics software can you build?
We build transportation management systems, load boards, carrier coordination platforms, cross-border freight tracking, customs workflow tools, shipper portals, and carrier portals. Features include load creation, rate management, tracking, automated invoicing, and integrations with accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero.
Do we own the code?
Yes. You own 100% of the code, the database, and the deployment. No vendor lock-in, no license fees. You can host it yourself, hire another developer to extend it, or keep working with us — your choice.
Can you integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. Most logistics firms need integrations with QuickBooks or Xero for accounting, carrier APIs for tracking, customs portals for cross-border freight, or shipper systems for load data. We build integrations as part of the project, not as expensive add-ons.
Is custom software better than McLeod or TMW?
It depends. If you're a large trucking company with 100+ trucks and dedicated IT, enterprise TMS platforms make sense. But if you're a 5-15 person freight forwarder or cross-border carrier, custom software fits your operation better and costs less over time. No per-seat fees means your software cost doesn't grow as you hire.
What if we need changes after the software is built?
You own the code, so you can hire any developer to make changes. Many logistics clients choose to keep working with us for updates and new features — we offer ongoing support starting at €1,500/month, but it's optional.
