Client:

A financial management SaaS tool for courier companies with API for integration, invoice export, status management, document reconciliation. It simplifies booking and paper-based management of invoices and PODs, as well as many other financial routines courier and transportation organizations, have daily.

Business challenge:

This solution was invented by a customer from the transportation industry who faced many financial routines and difficulties while providing courier services to its clients. He came to us with a great understanding of market needs but with zero experience in building SaaS web-based software and mobile applications.

Key features:

• Invoice management

• Financial relations tool - a finance team can check the load and invoice details

• Integration with Xero and QuickBooks

• Audit trail & statistics

• Data analysis dashboards

Client:

This project was a continuation of our other brainchild. Our customers with a huge experience in the transportation domain found a serious gap in the industry - a lack of a communication tool for courier service providers and their customers. A lot of inefficient business communication is happening between professionals and freight customers.

Business challenge:

Originally this tool was planned to be a part of another customer's logistics SaaS system. We focused on designing and architecting the main features of this communication tool to test them on its real customers so we had quite a big list of existing early adopters. After polishing this solution and gaining positive feedback from its clients, we redesigned this tool into a SaaS platform with a subscription model and set up an additional business for our customers.

Key features:

• Custom courier communication messenger
• Freight rates - every user can set up his own rates
• Proof of delivery (POD)  - POD history is available as a sortable table with search functionality
• Feedback & Reviews
• Agent API -  users can get information from an external platform, find, add, remove, put them in each others' contact lists, change status, etc.

Business outcome:

Supporting this logistics SaaS solution in the long-term phase was a serious challenge because it went through several transformations and pivots. The stabilization phase took around 6-8 months to find the best market fit and polish the monetization model. During that time our technical team varied to always stay cost-effective and provide the development speed according to the business requirements.

Client:
Trusted by over 7,000 businesses since 2000. Processing over 170,000 loads per month. Handling and managing more than 50,000 available vehicles of its clients. Making over £190M worth of contracts per year. It serves the full flow from posting the load to its final delivery helping transportation companies and individuals to do their work with ease.

Business challenge:

This courier SaaS product was created in the early 2000s and after successfully passing the post-MVP phase and getting good traction, they had to grow an IT department which was difficult and expensive in the UK. We met them at the beginning of active growth, all their software required refactoring and modernization. We developed a transformation plan and run a small pilot project to show how we can help and solve the problems they had. That was the beginning of long and profitable cooperation.

Key features:

• Vehicles tracking and navigation. The map shows current loads with destinations and available transport with movement direction.
• Fleet real-time management. Courier companies can add their drivers and vehicles. Couriers can filter loads by many parameters such as vehicle type, region/area, etc., expose their availability, look for the closest loads, apply for a job by sending a quote, communicate with customers using an external communication tool.
• Customer perspective. Customers can post jobs, add descriptions to jobs, get an immediate notification when a courier applies for a job, review all applicants.
• White label & customer service. Customer management, chats, and other support features are available for parent company and white label firms.
• Administration panel. It allows controlling courier companies and customers, loads, payments, and all other data flow.

Business outcome:

The application for the SaaS allows managing the loads from managers' and dispatchers' points of view. It also includes a live availability map that shows the fleet capacity in real-time and an instant messenger with specific B2B features.
