Transportation Management SaaS Cloud Platform Development

Connecting A to Z logistics endpoints into a neatly orchestrated system

Client and Business Goals

Our client is a B2B logistics company driving innovation around the supply chain management domain to help brands scale through operational and customer experience automation.

The client’s idea was to create a unified platform for end-to-end logistics cycle management streamlining transportation processes — from shipper to driver to end user.

At the early development stages, they found themselves in need of experienced specialists to take over their project, cope with the most sophisticated tasks, and assure a successful release.

The expertise in question was ERP and CRM cloud systems engineering, which AIS Novations does just right, so winning over the client’s trust didn’t take enormous effort.

Challenge

So far as the solution was to consolidate and orchestrate a global-scale network of logistics and transportation hubs, the crucial task was to devise a fault-tolerant and load-resistant routing functionality.

AIS Novations team undertook extensive R&D and came up with a Java-based jsprit framework implementation, thus making the transportation and GPS routing process seamless and intuitive by default, with no extra battery life loss.

Solution

Our team helped build a cloud-enabled transportation management solution providing users with advanced tracking, analytics, and real-time communication capabilities. On top of processing thousands of delivery requests and managing hundreds of parallel dispatching operations, the platform introduces AI-powered driver route planning, GPS tracking, and more. The clients are free to set up their dedicated white label on-premise system instances while customizing them in line with their business needs and scaling them with third-party integrations.
