Software for Logistics

Custom software for Australian logistics operators where off-the-shelf TMS doesn't fit — unusual cargo, specialty B2B integrations, or the build-vs-buy crossover at fleet scale. Brisbane-based, integrating with the boring infrastructure (EDI, ELDs, NHVR) that makes Australian logistics work.

What we build for logistics

  • Driver mobile apps — proof of delivery, barcode scanning, photo, signature, offline-first
  • Dispatcher dashboards with real-time fleet visibility and exception handling
  • Customer-facing tracking pages with branded experience and SMS/email updates
  • Warehouse management custom layers — pick, pack, dispatch with hand scanner support
  • EDI integration with major retail customers (Coles, Woolworths, Bunnings, Officeworks)
  • Cold-chain monitoring with sensor integration and exception alerts
  • Cross-dock and consolidation workflow tools
  • Custom rate-card pricing engines and customer-portal quote generation

The Australian-specific compliance layer

Heavy vehicle operations in Australia are governed by NHVR rules that vary by jurisdiction and operation type. Standard scope:

  • BFM/AFM-aware scheduling and shift planning
  • Electronic work diary integration (EWD-ready)
  • Mass and dimension compliance with route planning
  • Chain-of-responsibility documentation and acknowledgement
  • Driver licence and medical expiry tracking
  • Vehicle service and inspection scheduling with NHVR audit trail

We always build alongside specialist compliance providers (Telstra Trackit, Cartrack, EROAD, Teletrac Navman) rather than replacing them — they have the regulatory accreditation and we don't.

Software for Australian logistics — FAQ

These are the right answer for most Australian fleet operators — they're mature, well-supported, and cover the standard logistics workflow. Custom software earns its place when you have unusual cargo handling (cold chain, dangerous goods at unusual concentrations, oversized), specialty B2B integrations the SaaS doesn't support, or when you've grown into the build-vs-buy crossover (typically 100+ trucks at the SaaS pricing tiers).
Australian heavy vehicle compliance is its own discipline — National Heavy Vehicle Regulator rules around fatigue management, work diaries, basic fatigue management (BFM), advanced fatigue management (AFM). We build to these but always alongside specialist compliance providers (Telstra, Cartrack, Pinpoint) — we don't reinvent ELD hardware, we integrate with it.
Mobile app for drivers: barcode scanning, photo capture, signature capture, geo-tag and timestamp, with offline support. Back-end: dispatcher dashboard, customer-facing tracking page, exception handling workflow, integration with billing. PDF and email confirmations to consignees. Typical scope: AU$50,000–$150,000.
Yes. We've integrated with mainstream TMS systems, MS Dynamics 365 SCM, NetSuite, ConnX, plus EDI for major customer freight integrations. EDI is its own discipline — we use established middleware (Cleo, B2BGateway) rather than building from scratch.
Buy. Route optimisation is a deeply researched problem with mature commercial solutions (OptimoRoute, Onfleet, Workwave RouteManager, Locus). Building from scratch is a multi-year effort. What we do is integrate the routing engine into your custom dispatcher dashboard so the optimisation runs alongside your business rules — not replace it.
