Client

Our client is a leading non-asset based logistics company that serves businesses operating in automotive, retail, construction, food, energy, and other sectors. It has an extensive carrier network, moves 60,000+ vehicles and delivers 100,000+ units a month. To maintain the highest possible level of customer service, the client needed robust trucking software that would optimize every stage of the shipment process. In addition, the client’s team wanted to increase the visibility of a supply chain and improve the security of the company’s IT infrastructure.

Challenge

Before approaching us, the client used a ready-made solution. But it was an all-in-one type of product that offered quite limited functionality for some departments. As a result, instead of streamlining processes, this solution was making day-to-day operations chaotic and hard-to-manage. To develop trucking software that would fully meet the client’s needs, our team had to carry out a comprehensive analysis and dive deep into the routine workflows of the client’s business.

Scope of work

healthcare web software

Solution
