The Logistics Challenges We Solve
We know the specific problems that make logistics apps hard. Here is how we approach them.
Real-Time Tracking
Customers and dispatchers need live location data. Battery-efficient background GPS with sub-30-second updates is a hard engineering problem.
Connectivity in the Field
Drivers go through tunnels, rural areas, and warehouses with no signal. Apps that require connectivity fail at the worst moments.
Route Optimisation
Manually optimising routes for 50+ stops costs hours per day. Algorithmic route planning with real-time traffic is table stakes.
Proof of Delivery
Photo capture, signature collection, barcode scanning, and timestamped records need to work reliably on cheap Android devices.
What We Build for Logistics
Battery-Efficient GPS
Custom location manager using geofencing and activity recognition to balance update frequency with battery life on Android and iOS.
Offline Operation
Full offline mode โ drivers can complete deliveries, capture signatures, and scan barcodes with no connectivity. Data syncs when signal returns.
Route Optimisation Engine
Integration with Google Maps Routing API, HERE, or custom VRP solver for multi-stop route optimisation with time windows.
Proof of Delivery
In-app camera with automatic compression and upload, e-signature capture, barcode/QR scanning, and geostamped records.
Dispatcher Dashboard
Real-time fleet view, job assignment, driver communication, exception alerts, and SLA tracking in a web dashboard.
ERP/WMS Integration
Bi-directional integration with SAP, Oracle, or custom warehouse management systems via REST API or EDI.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle GPS tracking without draining the battery?+
We implement adaptive location sampling โ high frequency when moving, low frequency when stationary, and geofence-triggered updates at key locations. In testing, this reduces battery consumption by 60โ70% vs naive continuous GPS.
Can the app work in areas with no mobile signal?+
Yes. We build offline-first โ all job data is downloaded at shift start, and all captures (signatures, photos, scans) are queued locally and synced when connectivity returns. Drivers never lose data.
Can you integrate with our existing TMS or ERP?+
Yes. We have integrated with SAP TM, Oracle TMS, Salesforce Field Service, and custom in-house systems via REST API and SFTP-based EDI.
Does the driver app work on cheap Android hardware?+
Yes. We test on low-end Android devices (2GB RAM, Android 8+) and optimise specifically for them. We do not build apps that only work well on flagship phones.
