Logistics & TMS Software

Logistics Management Software Development

Streamline your supply chain with a custom Transportation Management System (TMS) built exactly for your operational flow.

TL;DR: Executive Summary

  • The Goal:Build custom Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and freight broker software. Automate dispatch, load boards, and driver tracking.
  • Timeline:12-16 Weeks
  • Tech Stack:Samsara API, Mapbox, WebSockets

The Problem

Freight and logistics operations run on constant reconciliation: load boards in one system, tracking in another, driver communication over the phone, and invoicing in an accounting package that knows nothing about either. Dispatchers spend their day copying information between windows and answering 'where is my load' calls that the data could answer automatically.

Impact

Dispatcher capacity caps how many loads the business can move, regardless of available trucks. Detention and demurrage charges go unbilled because nobody captured the timestamps. Customers call for status because they have no other way to get it, consuming exactly the staff time that should be spent booking freight.

Our Solution

We build transportation management systems around how your operation actually dispatches, covering load management, real-time tracking, driver communication, customer visibility, and the accounting handoff — as one system rather than a stack of disconnected tools.

Technical Approach

Telematics and ELD integrations provide position and hours data, mapping handles routing and geofencing, and real-time updates are pushed over WebSockets so dispatch boards reflect reality without manual refresh. Load board and accounting integrations close the loop from booking through invoice.

Workflow Transformation

Before

A dispatcher books from a load board, re-enters details into a spreadsheet, texts the driver, fields status calls throughout the day, and manually assembles invoice data at the end.

After Wortholic

Loads flow into one system, tracking updates automatically from telematics, customers self-serve status through a portal, and detention timestamps and invoice data are captured as the load runs.

Data Privacy (GDPR/CCPA)

Strict adherence to global data privacy laws. We never train public AI models on your proprietary data.

HIPAA & SOC2 Ready

Architecture designed to meet rigorous healthcare and enterprise security compliance standards natively.

Enterprise Infrastructure

Scalable cloud-native deployments via AWS and Vercel Edge networks ensuring 99.99% uptime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Logistics & TMS Software process.

Can you integrate live GPS tracking from trucks?

Yes, we integrate with major ELD providers like Samsara or KeepTruckin via API to display real-time truck telemetry on your custom dashboard.

Can you integrate with our ELD and telematics providers?

Generally yes. Most major providers, including Samsara and comparable platforms, expose APIs for position, hours of service, and vehicle data. Coverage and refresh rates vary between vendors, so we confirm what your specific provider exposes and at what frequency before designing tracking features around it.

Why build custom rather than buy an off-the-shelf TMS?

Often you should buy. If a standard TMS fits how you dispatch, that is usually the cheaper and faster answer, and we will say so. Custom becomes worthwhile when your operation has a genuine structural difference a packaged product cannot represent, when per-seat licensing has outgrown a build, or when the integrations you need simply do not exist in the products available.

How does customer visibility work?

Through a customer-facing portal or tracking link driven by the same live data your dispatch board uses. Customers see status, location, and ETA without calling. In most operations this removes a substantial share of inbound status calls, which is usually the fastest measurable return on the whole system.

Can you capture detention and accessorial charges automatically?

Yes, and it is frequently the feature that pays for the project. Geofenced arrival and departure timestamps create a defensible record of dwell time, which means detention gets billed with evidence rather than being written off because nobody wrote down when the truck arrived.

What is a realistic timeline?

Twelve to sixteen weeks for a first production system covering dispatch, tracking, and customer visibility, with accounting integration typically following. Logistics systems touch many external providers, and integration schedules are often gated by third-party access rather than development. VERIFY: confirm against your delivery experience.
