Logistics & Fleet Software

Logistics, Fleet & Freight Software Development

Logistics runs on information arriving at the right time: where a vehicle is, what it is carrying, who is waiting and what it will cost. This solution covers tracking, dispatch, fleet and freight software that turns phone calls and spreadsheets into one connected system.

Alive Inc. has delivered a transport and logistics website with a built-in enquiry system, and it has written openly about why freight booking is a harder software problem than it first appears. This solution builds on that web, mobile and integration experience.
The business problem

What This Solution Is Built to Solve

Dispatch by phone and spreadsheet

Jobs assigned over calls and messages leave no reliable record and no easy way to see capacity.

No live visibility

Customers and dispatchers cannot see where a load is or when it will arrive, so they keep asking.

Freight is not a fixed price

Rates depend on distance, load, vehicle type, timing and negotiation, which simple booking flows cannot model.

Paperwork and proof

Delivery proofs, weigh slips, invoices and documents scattered across drivers and offices.

Empty miles and idle vehicles

Poor route and load planning wastes fuel and driver time.

Disconnected systems

Fleet, accounting, warehouse and customer systems that do not exchange data.

Implementation

How We Would Deliver It

1

Map how jobs really flow

We follow a shipment from enquiry to payment and note every hand-off, document and exception.

2

Decide the model

Own-fleet dispatch, freight brokerage or a booking marketplace each need different rules and screens.

3

Design the dispatcher and driver views

The people using it all day get the most attention in the interface design.

4

Build the job lifecycle

Booking, assignment, tracking and proof of delivery first; billing and reports next.

5

Integrate existing tools

Accounting, telematics or warehouse systems connected where APIs allow it.

6

Pilot on live routes

A limited rollout with real drivers and customers before wider adoption.
