Logistics Software Development

Your dispatchers should run routes. Not phone calls.

We build custom TMS, WMS, route optimization, and ERP integration for logistics operations running 10 to 500+ vehicles. Every shipment, carrier, and warehouse shows up in one live dashboard. Your team stops chasing status by phone. We stop guessing at your specific workflow — the architecture sprint maps it first.

A Redefine-built TMS: live routes, real ETAs, zero status calls

Logistics operations team at command center with multiple monitors showing live route maps and shipment tracking data, natural overhead light

From dispatch to delivery

Operations managers at our clients can tell you where every truck is right now. Not where it was this morning. Not after a phone call. Right now.

Before and after Redefine

"I can tell you where a shipment was yesterday. I cannot tell you where it is right now."

Every logistics operations team we have worked with started here. Toggle between the common state and what your team runs after we build.

Current state: manual and fragmented

Drivers called for pickup status

No GPS integration. Dispatchers spend 40% of their day on the phone instead of optimizing routes.

Inventory counted manually every quarter

Stock discrepancies found 3 months after the fact. Warehouse team spends 2 days per quarter on manual counts.

Export documents built in Excel

EXIM compliance done manually. Documents wrong or late cause shipments to be held at customs.

Delivery numbers known 2 weeks late

No live reporting. Operations managers pull carrier emails each week to calculate on-time rate. By the time the number is ready, the chance to act on it is gone.

Customers call for shipment status

No customer portal. Customer service team handles 80+ shipment status requests per day via email and phone.

Drivers on WhatsApp for updates

Proof of delivery on paper. Exception reporting by text. No structured data from the field coming into operations.

After Redefine: automated and visible

Real-time GPS with automated estimated time of arrival updates

Live position data pushed every 60 seconds. Dispatchers see the entire fleet without a single phone call.

Barcode and RFID scanning with live warehouse management system sync

50,000+ items tracked in real time. Discrepancies flagged immediately on scan, not 3 months later.

EXIM module generates shipping bills, bills of lading, and customs declarations on dispatch

Statutory compliance handled by the enterprise resource planning system. Documents generated from shipment data. Zero manual preparation.

Live ops dashboard: on-time rate, fuel spend, and route deviation, updated every 60 seconds

On-time delivery, fuel efficiency, and route deviation visible in real time. Management acts on data, not memory.

Customer self-service tracking portal

Customers track shipments independently. Customer service team handles exceptions, not status requests.

Driver mobile app with digital proof of delivery

Photo capture, signature, barcode scan. All structured data. All synced to the transportation management system within 30 seconds of delivery.

The logistics control tower

Every shipment, vehicle, and warehouse on one live screen.

This is the operations view your dispatch team sees from day one of go-live. No refresh button. No phone call to a driver. The data comes to them.

Phoenix Flexibles

Global Flexible Packaging Manufacturer

Dynamics NAVEXIMWarehouse Management System

A global flexible packaging manufacturer that needed one ERP to run finance, inventory, production, and international trade compliance across multiple product lines.

The Problem

The team ran finance, inventory, and production tracking in Excel. Poor visibility into stock and resources hurt production schedules. Export documentation was prepared by hand, causing customs errors and shipment holds. Finished goods had no barcode system — discrepancies were found months after the fact.

Manual Excel workflows across 50K+ items. No barcode system. EXIM compliance done by hand. Zero integration between inventory and production.

The Result
0K+

items tracked in real time across multiple product lines. Barcode scanning, automated EXIM documentation, and Dynamics NAV ERP integration now support a 30% export operation.

  • Dynamics NAV unified finance, inventory, and production in one system
  • Barcode scanning tracks finished goods with batch-level traceability
  • EXIM module auto-generates shipping bills, bills of lading, and customs declarations on dispatch
Why Redefine

Three standards. Written into every build.

Most agencies ship a platform and move on. These three standards apply to every logistics project we take on, before the first sprint review begins.

Every platform we build feeds live GPS into the TMS, live bin counts from barcode scans into the WMS, and live ops dashboards that refresh without a manual export. Batch reports delivered two days late are not dashboards. Operations managers at our clients make decisions on today's data, not last week's. That is the only version of a logistics platform we build.

The inventory in your WMS and the inventory in your ERP must agree. We design that integration as a day-one architecture requirement. We have implemented Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 for manufacturing, distribution, and logistics operations running 50,000+ item catalogs. The ERP integration design document is Sprint 1 output.

Operations manuals, dispatcher training guides, driver app onboarding, and warehouse scanning runbooks are delivered at handoff. So are the technical architecture docs and API references. Your team trains new dispatchers without calling us. Your IT team adds a new vehicle type to the TMS without calling us. Dependency is a delivery failure, not an upsell opportunity.

Questions

Straight answers to the questions logistics teams always ask.

Platform choice, ERP complexity, and integration scope are where most buyers get vague answers. These are not vague answers.

Pricing approach

Scoped before work starts. You get the full proposal before spending a dollar.

A logistics discovery sprint delivers a full architecture document, integration map, and ERP design before any development begins.

Both, based on your operation's complexity. Standard workflows — single-mode transport, one warehouse, domestic routes — get a configured and customized platform. Unusual rate structures, multi-modal routing, EXIM or hazmat requirements, or tight ERP coupling get a custom build. The architecture sprint produces this recommendation in writing, with rationale, before development begins.
Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV are in our core stack. We have implemented, upgraded, and customized both for manufacturing and logistics operations. TMS and WMS integration runs through the Business Central API layer or AL extensions — not middleware that breaks on version upgrades. Every data flow direction, API endpoint, and field mapping is documented in the architecture sprint. See related work under enterprise logistics software development.
Discovery sprint: 2 weeks. Simple TMS (single carrier, basic tracking, no ERP): 10 to 14 weeks. Mid-complexity TMS with ERP integration, customer portal, and driver app: 16 to 24 weeks. Full WMS with barcode scanning, batch management, and ERP sync: 12 to 20 weeks. Combined TMS and WMS with EXIM compliance: 20 to 32 weeks. Every engagement starts with a week-by-week sprint plan.
Yes. The driver app is part of the TMS scope, not a separate engagement. It covers dispatch notification, Google Maps navigation, barcode scanning for pickup and delivery, photo proof of delivery, signature capture, and exception reporting. iOS and Android. All data syncs to the TMS within 30 seconds of capture. See mobile app development for logistics for details.
The EXIM module sits inside the enterprise resource planning system and generates export documentation (shipping bills, bills of lading, customs declarations) automatically from shipment records. Statutory compliance rules are configured per country-of-destination. When a shipment is dispatched, the document set is generated and attached to the order record. No separate spreadsheet workflow. No manual form-filling. The Phoenix Flexibles case study above used this approach to support a 30% export operation.
Right match?

Tell us what your operation looks like. We will tell you if we are the right fit.

Some operations are not ready for custom logistics software. When that is the case, we say so. A process audit before a build saves everyone time.

Match score0 of 6 selected

Not sure where you fit? Tell us your operation : fleet size, warehouse SKU count, current tools, biggest friction. We will be straight with you about fit and realistic scope — before you commit to anything.

Running more than 10 vehicles or 5,000+ SKUs in a warehouse

Custom TMS and WMS pay for themselves at this scale. Off-the-shelf tools start showing friction past this point.

Dispatchers spend more than 30% of their day on the phone

Live GPS and real-time estimated time of arrival notifications eliminate the status call loop entirely.

Export operations with manual EXIM document preparation

ERP auto-generates shipping bills, bills of lading, and customs declarations on dispatch. Manual prep and customs holds both stop.

ERP inventory does not match the physical warehouse count

Barcode scanning synced to Dynamics resolves discrepancies the moment a scan happens — not at the end of the quarter.

Probably not the right match if:

You need a basic shipment tracker for an existing ecommerce store

Shopify and WooCommerce have pre-built carrier integrations. They solve this faster and for less money.

Total project budget under $15,000

A TMS with ERP integration and a driver app takes real architecture time. Below this budget, we cannot do the build justice.
