Logistics Software Development

Every Truck, Route and Parcel, Visible in Real Time

Fleet tracking, route planning, driver apps and warehouse systems, built for patchy signal, messy data and operations that cannot stop.

Where Do Logistics Operations Lose Time and Money?

Most losses come from four places: routes planned by hand, tracking data that arrives too late, paper proof of delivery and warehouse stock records that do not match the shelves. Each one creates extra miles, calls and disputes. Software fixes them by capturing accurate data at the moment it happens.

  1. Routes Planned in Spreadsheets

    Manual planning cannot weigh time windows, vehicle capacity, driver hours and traffic together, so vans drive further and fewer stops fit in a day.

  2. Tracking That Is Hours Out of Date

    When location updates arrive in batches, dispatchers phone drivers and customers phone support. Both cost time that live data would save.

  3. Paper Proof of Delivery

    Lost or unreadable delivery notes lead to disputes, late invoices and claims that are hard to defend without a photo, signature and timestamp.

  4. Warehouse Stock Nobody Trusts

    Mis-scans and delayed updates mean the system says an item is there when it is not. The error shows up later as a failed or late delivery.

What Logistics Software Does Fajarix Build?

We build fleet tracking platforms, route planning and dispatch tools, driver apps, warehouse management systems, freight management software and IoT monitoring for cold chain and assets. The work suits delivery companies, freight brokers, distributors and retailers running their own fleets. It can run as a Fixed-Price Project, a Dedicated Team or Individual Developers who join your team.

  • Fleet Tracking

    Live vehicle locations, geofences, driver behavior, maintenance alerts and fleet dashboards for operations managers.

  • Route Planning and Dispatch

    Routes that respect delivery windows, capacity and driver hours, with re-planning during the day when orders or traffic change.

  • IoT and Cold Chain Monitoring

    Temperature probes, door sensors and asset trackers connected to one platform, with alerts before goods are spoiled or lost.

How Does Live Fleet Tracking Work?

Five layers take a location ping from a moving truck to a dispatcher’s screen in seconds, and store data on the device when signal drops.

  1. Devices

    GPS trackers, BLE tags, temperature probes and engine telematics, chosen for battery life and the environment they work in.

  2. Connectivity

    MQTT over LTE-M or NB-IoT, with data stored on the device while there is no signal and sent when coverage returns.

  3. Ingestion

    A message broker and stream processor that remove duplicate pings, validate data and check geofences as data arrives.

  4. Storage

    Location history in a time-series database with downsampling, and vehicles, drivers and shipments in PostgreSQL.

  5. Operations Screens

    Live maps over WebSockets, alert rules and route replay for disputes, designed to highlight exceptions rather than show every dot.

Which Route Optimization Approach Fits Your Fleet?

For most daily dispatch, metaheuristics such as those in Google OR-Tools give near-optimal routes in minutes. Simple heuristics suit small fleets, routing APIs are a quick first version, and exact solvers belong to strategic planning such as depot locations. The right choice depends on fleet size and constraints.

ApproachExamplesBest ForTrade-off
Simple HeuristicsNearest neighbor, Clarke-Wright savingsSmall fleets with loose delivery windows, or a quick first planVery fast and easy to explain, but routes are often noticeably longer than they need to be as the fleet grows.
MetaheuristicsGuided local search and tabu search, for example with Google OR-ToolsDaily dispatch with hundreds of stops, time windows, capacities and driver hoursClose to optimal in seconds or minutes. Describing your real constraints correctly matters more than the solver choice.
Exact SolversMixed-integer programming with commercial solversStrategic questions such as depot locations, fleet size and territoriesProves the best answer, but slows down sharply as problems grow. Wrong for daily dispatch, right for network planning.
Routing APIsGoogle Route Optimization, Mapbox and similar servicesModerate volumes when you need results quicklyFastest to launch, but per-request pricing grows with volume and unusual constraints may not fit. A sensible first version.

Should You Build Custom Logistics Software or Buy a TMS?

Buy a transport management system if your operation is standard. Build custom software when the way you operate is what sets you apart. Many companies do both: they keep an off-the-shelf core and build their own dispatch tools, driver apps and customer tracking around it.

Buy a TMS

Best when your operation works the way commercial software expects: standard brokerage, common carriers and conventional workflows. Fastest and cheapest to start.

Buy the Core, Build Around It

Keep a proven TMS or ERP and add custom dispatch, driver apps or customer tracking portals. This is a common path for a growing operator.

Build Custom

Worth it when the way you operate is your advantage, such as unusual routing constraints, a mixed fleet or visibility your competitors cannot offer.

Mapping, Telematics and Data Tools We Use

Maps, routing solvers, device protocols and the systems your operation already runs on.

How Much Does Logistics Software Development Cost?

Fixed-Price Projects typically start from $3,000 for a small, clearly defined piece of work, such as a proof-of-delivery app, a customer tracking portal or a routing prototype. Complete fleet or warehouse platforms cost more, depending on integrations, devices and apps. You receive a written proposal within 48 hours of the scoping call.

Driver apps are often the part that makes or breaks adoption. Our mobile app development team builds them to work offline, with large controls drivers can use quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Accurate Can Delivery ETAs Be?

    Accuracy depends on your network, traffic and how reliable stop times are, so be wary of anyone promising minute-perfect ETAs. What customers value most is an estimate that updates as conditions change, shown as a window such as “between 2:00 and 2:40” rather than a false exact time. Accuracy then improves as the system learns real stop durations.

  • What Happens When Drivers Lose Signal?

    The system is designed for it. Driver apps save proof-of-delivery photos, status updates and scans on the phone, then sync when coverage returns. Tracking devices store location pings too. On the server, data that arrives late, out of order or twice is handled correctly, so dead zones do not turn into false alerts or missing deliveries.

  • Can You Integrate With Samsara, Geotab or SAP?

    Yes, and keeping telematics hardware that already works is usually the right choice. Samsara and Geotab provide good APIs for locations, engine data and driver events. ERP systems vary from modern REST APIs to nightly file exports, and we plan for both. We review your integrations during discovery, so surprises appear before the contract rather than after.

  • Should Route Optimization Use AI?

    Route planning is mainly an optimization problem, solved with proven algorithms rather than a language model. Machine learning helps around it: predicting how long each stop really takes, forecasting order volumes and improving ETAs. We use each tool where it performs best and explain the trade-offs in plain terms.

  • How Long Does It Take to Build a Delivery Management System?

    A first version with dispatch, a driver app and live tracking typically takes 8 to 12 weeks, with a demo of working software every two weeks. We launch with one depot or region, measure how routes and deliveries perform, then roll out more widely. Hardware rollouts and ERP integrations can add time, so we plan those in parallel from the start.
