01Solutions

Systems for fleets, warehouses and supply chains.

Logistics runs on events from vehicles, devices, partners and people. Each solution turns those events into plans, forecasts and early warnings.
  • 01

    Fleet intelligence

    Vehicle telematics, driver and asset data consolidated for utilization, maintenance and safety analysis.

  • 02

    Route optimization

    Routing and dispatch optimization that accounts for time windows, capacity, driver hours and live conditions.

  • 03

    Warehouse automation

    Integration of WMS, conveyors, scanners and mobile robots, with task orchestration across people and machines.

  • 04

    Computer vision

    Camera-based package dimensioning, label reading, damage detection and dock monitoring.

  • 05

    Supply-chain analytics

    Shared views of orders, inventory, shipments and lead times across partners and transport modes.

  • 06

    IoT tracking

    Location, temperature, shock and door sensors for trailers, containers and high-value shipments, with geofencing and alerts.

  • 07

    Predictive logistics

    Forecasts for demand, arrival times and capacity that feed planning and proactive exception management.

02Use cases

Use cases from dock to destination.

Where real-time data and optimization change daily operations rather than monthly reports.

  1. 01

    Shipment visibility

    One event timeline per shipment, built from carrier feeds, IoT devices and partner messages.

    • EDI / APIs
    • IoT trackers
    • Event streaming

  2. 02

    Dynamic routing

    Re-planning routes during the day as orders, traffic and vehicle status change.

    • Optimization solvers
    • Telematics
    • Driver apps

  3. 03

    Cold-chain monitoring

    Temperature and condition monitoring with alerts and documented excursions for sensitive cargo.

    • Temperature sensors
    • Alerting
    • Audit records

  4. 04

    Dock and yard management

    Vision and sensor data for dock door status, yard inventory and trailer turnaround.

    • Computer vision
    • Yard management
    • RFID

  5. 05

    Exception management

    Detecting late, damaged or misrouted shipments early and routing them to the right team with context.

    • Rules and ML
    • Case management
    • Notifications

03Reference architecture

Events in, plans and exceptions out.

Device and partner events are joined into a single timeline, optimized against real constraints and forecast forward, so teams act on exceptions before customers notice them.

Telematics units, trackers, scanners, cameras and mobile devices report location, condition and status.

  • Telematics
  • IoT trackers
  • Scanners
  • Driver apps

04Engineering considerations

Constraints that shape logistics systems.

Logistics data is late, partial and comes from many parties. The architecture has to produce reliable decisions anyway.

  • Constraint 01

    Many data partners

    Carriers, 3PLs, suppliers and customers send data in different formats, quality and timing.

    Engineering response

    • Canonical event models
    • Partner onboarding adapters
    • Data quality scoring per source

  • Constraint 02

    Intermittent connectivity

    Vehicles and devices lose connectivity, and events arrive late or out of order.

    Engineering response

    • Event-time processing
    • Idempotent ingestion
    • Offline-capable mobile apps

  • Constraint 03

    Optimization under constraints

    Plans must respect time windows, capacity, regulations and driver hours, and they change during the day.

    Engineering response

    • Explicit constraint models
    • Incremental re-optimization
    • Planner review and override

  • Constraint 04

    Exception-driven operations

    Value comes from acting early on what goes wrong, not from more dashboards.

    Engineering response

    • Prioritized exception queues
    • Context attached to every alert
    • Resolution tracked to closure

  • Constraint 05

    Peak scalability

    Volumes spike around seasonal peaks and promotions.

    Engineering response

    • Elastic stream processing
    • Load-tested peak scenarios
    • Backpressure and graceful degradation

  • Constraint 06

    Location and personal data

    Location and driver data is personal data in many jurisdictions.

    Engineering response

    • Purpose-limited access
    • Retention policies
    • Aggregation for analytics

07FAQ

Common questions.

What engineering leaders ask us about logistics systems.
01Can you integrate data from many carriers and partners?

Yes. We build adapters for EDI, APIs and file-based feeds that map partner data into a canonical event model, with quality checks per source so downstream systems can tell reliable signals from noisy ones.

02How does route optimization handle changes during the day?

Optimization runs incrementally. When orders, traffic or vehicle status change, affected routes are re-planned within the defined constraints, and planners can review or override changes before they reach drivers.

03Do we need new hardware for IoT tracking?

Not necessarily. We start with the telematics, scanners and devices already in place, and recommend additional sensors only where a use case, such as cold-chain monitoring, needs data you do not have.

04How do you handle late or out-of-order events?

Pipelines process by event time rather than arrival time, deduplicate and reconcile late data, and keep shipment timelines consistent even when devices reconnect after hours offline.
