Web Application Development for Transportation Management and Transport Logistics.

We make Web applications that bring measurable profit for business 

Our Web applications development services for solving business tasks. 

Convenient browser and mobile Internet applications for interaction of your employees, customers, intermediaries and suppliers.

There are specialized software solutions used for the automation of logistics management processes. They can be partially ready web applications with modifications for a specific business or customized software solutions written from scratch, as well as ready-made box versions of software.

These software systems are used by:

• businesses providing goods transportation services from point A to point B (both international and domestic cargo transportation). In this case, the full functionality is realized: statuses of transportation orders, order distribution by transport means, tracking, outside data transfer via API (to end-users internal systems or web applications of third-party carriers involved in particular order execution process) or to your client web cabinet, etc.;
• companies which have their own motor-vehicle pool and delivery system: in this case, they need to manage their business processes from inside: general company processes and processes between sales and logistics departments;
• enterprises that use external carrier services (take outsourcing services). In this case, API integration with systems of external carriers is necessary to enable tracking of their order statuses, transfer information to their internal accounting systems, transfer statuses to their customers in their web cabinets, etc.

The software of this class is used both by logistics carrier companies and by B2B and B2C companies, which deliver goods to the end user.

The automated IT-system (based on local software, web applications and integrations) allows solving various transport and logistical problems and tasks directly via the Internet through a browser.

 Some of our most frequently solved tasks are:

• reduction of non-optimal use of types, models and other additional vehicle characteristics due to the lack of selection and loading functionality, taking into account all parameters and their comprehensive analysis on the basis of algorithms predefined by the software (load-carrying capacity, transport type, total volume, loading of transport unit and entire motor-vehicle pool, etc.);

• vehicle location control and cargo condition control (tracking);

• solving the problems of incorrect data synchronization or complete lack of information exchange between individuals and systems involved in transportation process (in particular, between departments within a company: for example, data transfer from sales department to logistics department and vice versa, between departments within an enterprise and external resources engaged);

• increasing of management capabilities by using functionality for obtaining actual reports and their graphic visualization: evaluation and analysis of statuses, efficiency, quality of performed work, optimality of resource use, etc.

The solution of these tasks is achieved with the help of the following functionality of the developed applications:

The Examples of Developed Functionalities :

• formation, accounting and management of cargo transportation demands arising from: 
  
• applications for cargo transportation by the end users of the service (or customer orders in case of considering a purchase order as the initial stage of а business process),
• purchase orders (for example, in cases of collection by customers),
• applications for internal cargo movements (for example, between own warehouses);

• creation, registration and execution control of cargo transportation tasks created either manually or automatically according to the given algorithms based on developed transportation demand;

• creation of combined hauls for carrying out the transportations indicated in different assignments or applications;

• haul execution control with route tracking;

• external and internal resources management: creation / registration and execution control of transport allocation tasks;

• process and information visualization on electronic web cards;

• obtaining analytical and statistical reports of KPI evaluation (for the analysis of cargo transportation process performance and accumulated transportation big data);

• data transfer and synchronization in different used systems (both external and internal) through integration with IpaaS.  

Depending on tasks, types of business and its structure, web applications can be implemented in dashboards in a web browser, also suitable for collecting data from several used systems (by integrating all used applications, both internal and external). In particular, functional dashboards (both desktop and mobile interface applications) are designed for:

• sales managers, 
  
• purchasing managers, 
  
• employees of logistics departments, 
  
• dispatcher service, 
  
• heads of different departments, 
  

• end customers (in their client cabinets).

Tasks Solved by Web-Application + Integration

The development of integrated solutions collecting and synchronizing data from various systems via API allows solving the following tasks:

• reducing information exchange time cycles; 
  
• creating a larger added value through saving of time, financial and human resources engaged in information exchange; 
  
• carrying out the entire chain of transportation management on-line; 
  
• professionally approach to the transportation process; 
  
• increasing productivity; 
  
• reducing the level of idle transport resources; 
  
• increasing turnover through quick engagement of third-party carriers as a result of API integration with their systems; 
  
• improving communications with suppliers and customers, through on-line tracking of cargo status and statuses of applications for transportation; 
  
• ensuring the reliability and speed of information for all used internal systems; 
  
• providing increased accuracy of information; 
  
• ensuring promptness of information. 
  

The information and convenient application interface is one of the key elements in supply chain, because only the availability of timely information can ensure a continuous movement of material flow in supply chain and proper transportation process management. A convenient interface provides the opportunity to satisfy the end user in the environment of ever-increasing competition. 

The development of information technologies allows accelerating information exchange processes of both consumer and supplier, significantly improve the quality of information and decisions. 

It becomes especially urgent now, when the cost and speed of development of such solutions has been significantly reduced thanks to ready-made frameworks and the accumulated experience of the developers taking part in implementation of such applications, software packages and integrations. 

You can get more information on our cases of implemented projects and integrations here.

We create Web applications with complex business logic using our working experience with ERP-class systems, integrating software complexes into a single information space. We solve synchronization and data exchange tasks.
