Software for logistics
Custom internal tool for logistics
A small web app that replaces the spreadsheet your team has outgrown. For logistics companies, it matters most while dispatch is handling today's loads. The usual trouble: drivers get job details by phone call and text.
Where logistics companies lose time today
- Drivers get job details by phone call and text.
- Proof-of-delivery photos and paperwork arrive in WhatsApp chats.
- Quote requests wait while the office deals with today's loads.
What it looks like in practice
Take a regional courier with twelve vans as an example. The sheet that tracks shipments has grown to twelve tabs and breaks when two people edit it. It becomes a small app with a form, a list and a history of who changed what.
How it works for logistics
For a regional courier with twelve vans, the flow is short and predictable.
- We map what the spreadsheet does today.
- I build a simple app with the right screens.
- Data moves over from Google Sheets.
- Permissions and history are added.
- Your team gets logins and a walkthrough.
Tools it connects to
It plugs into the tools logistics companies already use, such as Google Sheets, QuickBooks and HubSpot, and runs on Next.js, Supabase and n8n.
Questions from logistics companies
Does the custom internal tool work with Google Sheets?
It depends on your Google Sheets plan. Some tools open their data through an API and some keep it locked, so before we start I check what yours allows. If a direct connection isn't possible, I'll say so and suggest a workaround before you pay anything.
Can I change how it works later?
Yes. The custom internal tool keeps its messages, timings and rules in settings or a simple sheet you can edit. For bigger changes, such as a new step for your customers, message me and I'll quote it first.
What does the custom internal tool cost to run each month?
Setup for the custom internal tool starts at $1,200 while the launch offer is on, for logistics companies and everyone else. Tools like OpenAI, Twilio and n8n hosting usually cost $5 to $30 a month, billed to you directly. I'll tell you the exact number before we start.
