Logistics Software Capabilities

From fleet management to warehouse operations, we build the systems logistics companies depend on to move goods efficiently and maintain visibility at every stage.

01

Fleet Management Systems

Real-time fleet tracking with GPS and telematics integration, preventive maintenance scheduling, driver scorecards, utilization reporting, and FMCSA/DOT compliance monitoring — giving operations teams visibility and control across every vehicle and driver in the fleet.

02

Dispatch & Load Management

Custom dispatch platforms with load board integration, carrier API connections, rate management, automated load matching, and tender workflow automation. Built with the operational logic your dispatchers actually need — not the generic workflows that force your team into workarounds.

03

Warehouse & Inventory Platforms

Pick/pack/ship workflows, slotting optimization, wave planning, cross-docking coordination, and RF/barcode scanning — with real-time inventory levels and integration with your existing WMS or ERP. Built for the speed and accuracy that warehouse operations demand.

04

Route Optimization

Multi-stop routing engines that account for time windows, vehicle capacity constraints, fuel cost optimization, driver hours-of-service limits, and real-time rerouting for traffic or weather. Built to handle the real-world constraints your generic routing tools ignore.

05

Supply Chain Visibility

Carrier performance dashboards, lane analysis, dwell time monitoring, predictive ETA calculations, and customer-facing tracking portals. End-to-end shipment visibility with automated exception alerting that gives leadership a unified view across the entire supply chain.

06

Driver & Field Mobile Apps

DVIR (vehicle inspection) checklists, electronic bills of lading, proof of delivery with photo/signature capture, hours-of-service tracking with ELD integration, and real-time dispatch communication — all built with offline-first architecture for reliability in low-connectivity environments.

Logistics Operations We Serve

We build for organizations across the logistics and transportation ecosystem — from over-the-road trucking to temperature-controlled supply chains.

Trucking & Freight

Full truckload, LTL, and specialized carriers that need dispatch systems, fleet management, driver mobile apps, load optimization, and FMCSA/DOT compliance tools.

Warehousing & 3PL

Warehouse operators and third-party logistics providers that need WMS integrations, inventory visibility, pick/pack/ship automation, and multi-client billing platforms.

Last-Mile Delivery

Delivery companies that need route optimization, proof of delivery capture, real-time customer tracking portals, driver mobile apps, and capacity planning tools.

Cold Chain & Temperature-Sensitive

Organizations shipping perishable, pharmaceutical, or temperature-sensitive goods that need IoT sensor monitoring, compliance logging, exception alerting, and chain-of-custody tracking.

Intermodal & Rail

Intermodal transportation providers that need container tracking, drayage management, rail-to-truck coordination, yard management, and cross-modal visibility platforms.

Freight Brokerage

Freight brokers that need carrier matching, rate management, load board integration, margin analysis, and customer portals to scale operations without scaling headcount.

Why Logistics Companies Choose Active Logic

Logistics operations run on tight margins and tighter timelines. A dispatch system that goes down costs real money per hour. A tracking gap creates customer escalations. A warehouse bottleneck delays shipments across the entire network. The software that runs these operations needs to be as reliable as the people who depend on it.

Active Logic is headquartered in Kansas City — one of the largest logistics hubs in the United States. We understand the industry not just from building software for it, but from operating in the middle of it. We replaced CLR Auto Transport's legacy dispatch system with a modern platform that streamlined their entire operation. Our teams build systems that handle the real-world complexity of multi-modal transportation, carrier relationships, FMCSA and DOT compliance requirements, and 24/7 operational reliability where downtime is measured in lost revenue.

With 200+ projects delivered and a Director of Engineering leading every engagement, Active Logic brings the governance and architectural rigor that logistics operations demand. Our senior, 100% U.S.-based teams have built fleet management systems, TMS integrations, warehouse platforms, and supply chain visibility tools — each designed for the kind of operational reliability where a system outage at 2 AM is not an option.

Common Engagement Triggers

  • Legacy dispatch or TMS systems are limiting operational capacity
  • Fleet visibility relies on phone calls instead of real-time tracking
  • Warehouse operations need automation beyond what your WMS provides
  • Supply chain data is scattered across carriers, brokers, and spreadsheets
  • Drivers need mobile tools that work offline and sync reliably
  • FMCSA, DOT, or hazmat compliance requirements are increasing regulatory burden
  • Growth is outpacing what your current technology stack can support

Frequently Asked Questions

We build Transportation Management Systems (TMS), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Order Management Systems (OMS), fleet management platforms, yard management systems, freight audit and payment tools, last-mile delivery platforms, and route optimization engines. Our teams serve trucking companies, warehousing and 3PL providers, last-mile delivery operations, cold chain and temperature-sensitive logistics, and intermodal transportation — each built around your specific operational workflows, carrier relationships, and compliance requirements.

A TMS is a central platform for planning, executing, and optimizing the movement of goods across your supply chain. It covers load planning and consolidation, carrier selection and procurement, rate management and freight audit, shipment tracking and visibility, delivery scheduling, and performance analytics. A well-built TMS reduces freight spend, improves carrier compliance, and gives operations teams a single source of truth for every shipment — from tender to proof of delivery.

Yes. We build custom integrations with major platforms including SAP TM, Oracle TMS, Blue Yonder, Manhattan Associates, and existing WMS and ERP systems. Our teams handle EDI (204, 210, 214, 990), RESTful API integrations, and real-time event streaming to give you a unified operational view — connecting load boards, carrier APIs, GPS tracking, ELD devices, and warehouse automation without replacing your existing infrastructure.

AI and machine learning deliver measurable gains across logistics operations. Route optimization algorithms typically produce 5-15% efficiency improvements in fuel and mileage. Demand forecasting models improve inventory positioning and reduce deadhead miles. Predictive ETAs give customers and dispatchers more accurate delivery windows. Dynamic pricing engines optimize carrier rates based on market conditions. Anomaly detection flags shipment exceptions before they escalate. And predictive maintenance models for fleet vehicles reduce unplanned downtime by identifying component failures before they happen.

Yes. Our logistics mobile apps include proof of delivery with photo and signature capture, electronic bills of lading (BOL), vehicle inspection checklists (DVIR) for pre-trip and post-trip compliance, hours-of-service (HOS) tracking with ELD integration, turn-by-turn navigation optimized for commercial vehicles, and real-time dispatch communication. Every app is built with offline-first architecture so drivers maintain full functionality in areas with poor or no cellular connectivity — data syncs automatically when connection is restored.

We build real-time tracking systems that aggregate data from GPS devices, ELD units, IoT sensors (temperature, humidity, shock), and carrier API feeds into unified dashboards. The platform includes geofencing for automated arrival and departure detection, exception alerts triggered by delays or route deviations, carrier performance scorecards, and customer-facing tracking portals. Your operations team gets live visibility into fleet location, shipment status, and dwell times — with historical data for lane analysis and optimization.

Yes — we have direct, proven experience doing exactly this. We replaced CLR Auto Transport's legacy dispatch system with a modern platform that streamlined their entire operation. Our approach uses the strangler fig pattern — wrapping legacy functionality incrementally so new and old systems run in parallel during transition. Your dispatchers and drivers never lose operational capability, and we migrate workflows one at a time until the legacy system can be fully decommissioned.
