Logistics technology consulting covers bookings, driver allocation, job tracking and invoicing for transport and delivery operations. The typical engagement replaces a workflow run entirely by hand, where duplicate invoices and no visibility into job progress are the visible symptoms of a business coordinating itself through phone calls.
A transport operation coordinating by phone works well right up to the volume where it does not, and the collapse is sudden. Bookings taken verbally, drivers assigned by whoever is nearest the phone, jobs whose progress is known only by asking, and invoices raised from memory at the end of the week.
Duplicate invoices are the symptom everyone notices first, because a customer complains. The actual problem is that no record of a job exists between the booking and the bill.
One record per job, from customer onboarding through to the final invoice. Allocation that accounts for who is available and where they are. Status visible to the office and the customer without a phone call. And invoicing generated from the job record, which is what makes duplicates structurally impossible rather than merely rarer.
On Britna, a UK same-day transport agency, this meant taking over as the technical function outright and shipping a platform covering the whole workflow, with admin and staff dashboards showing live analytics.
Logistics software is used in a cab, in the rain, one-handed, by someone with a next job to get to. A system that assumes a desk and an unhurried user will be worked around within a week, and the workaround becomes the real process.
Which means the driver-facing surface gets designed first and kept ruthlessly small, and the rich interface is reserved for the office where someone is actually sitting down.

Anything not answered here, ask me directly on the call.
Often not yet, and I will say so. Below a certain volume a well-configured off-the-shelf tool plus a tightened process beats a build comfortably. The trigger is usually not size but coordination cost, which shows up when someone spends most of their day being the routing algorithm.
That is the design constraint, not a nice-to-have. The driver-facing surface stays deliberately small (accept, navigate, confirm, capture proof) because anything more gets worked around by someone holding a phone in the rain.
By generating invoices from the job record rather than from a person reconstructing the week. When the job is the single source of truth and billing is derived from it, duplicates become structurally impossible rather than something a process is supposed to catch.
Yes, and that is usually the right boundary. The operations platform owns jobs and generates invoices; the accounting system stays authoritative for ledgers and filing. Two systems, one agreed handoff, rather than an operations tool slowly growing a worse accounting package inside it.
Thirty minutes, no pitch. Describe what is not working and I will tell you whether the pattern above is yours, and what the first move should be.
