logistics & supply chain

Logistics software development
that knows where everything is

TMS, WMS, last-mile, and freight-visibility platforms — custom logistics software from senior engineers who model ELD, HOS, and EDI realities into the build from the first sprint.

Idealogic is a logistics software development company with three platforms in production: Conveya, a transportation management rebuild for auto transport with real-time shipment tracking; HaulBreeze, the supply chain management platform we built as our own product; and Pikkup, a geolocation marketplace connecting drivers with car services. The same senior teams behind our custom software development and product development practices build for shippers, carriers, and the operators in between. We also wrote down what supply chain software actually costs — ranges, drivers, and the integration tax included.

what we build

Across the whole
supply chain

Six practice areas where lane knowledge, carrier behavior, and regulation decide whether logistics software ships — and survives contact with dispatchers.

01

Transportation management systems

TMS cores that plan loads, rate lanes against live carrier data, and dispatch without spreadsheet glue — one system from tender to settlement. Conveya runs auto transport on exactly this kind of rebuild.

02

Warehouse & fulfillment software

Scan-driven warehouse management software for receiving, putaway, wave picking, and slotting — built for the floor crew that uses it, not the back office that bought it.

wms · pick-pack · slotting
03

Last-mile delivery platforms

Routing engines and driver apps that keep customer ETAs honest: dynamic re-routing, geofenced arrival events, and proof of delivery that holds up in disputes. Pikkup pairs the same geolocation core with payments.

04

Fleet & telematics platforms

ELD-compliant fleet management software unifying position, hours-of-service, fuel, and component health — telemetry ingested in real time and modeled into maintenance decisions, not month-end reports.

05

Supply-chain platforms & visibility

Supply chain software development on one data layer: carrier EDI, telematics, orders, and inventory joined into a single stream, with visibility, analytics, and demand forecasting on top. HaulBreeze, our own product, runs on this architecture.

06

Logistics app development

Driver and customer apps wired into the dispatch core — logistics app development that treats the phone as a terminal for the operation, from scan-to-load to live tracking customers actually open.

flagship build

Conveya, from rebrand
to rebuilt platform

A car transportation company outgrew its tooling. We delivered the full arc — strategic rebrand, a redesigned transportation management platform, and a mobile app.

CASE-001 / CONVEYA

Auto transport TMS

Real-time shipment tracking customers check instead of calling, an AI-assisted FAQ that answers before the phone rings, and quoting that moves at web speed — one Idealogic squad across brand, platform, and mobile.

regulated experience

Built to the standards
that move freight

Logistics software lives or dies on compliance and interchange. We engineer ELD records, hours-of-service logic, and EDI messaging in from the first sprint — not bolted on after a failed audit.

01 / PRINCIPLE

ELD

FMCSA-registered logging flows with engine-synchronized, tamper-evident driver records — built so a roadside inspection is a lookup, not a scramble.

02 / PRINCIPLE

HOS / DOT

Duty-status and rest-break modeling inside the dispatch core, so a violation surfaces while the load is still a plan — not on the road.

03 / PRINCIPLE

eCMR

Digital consignment notes with signature chains valid across EU cross-border carriage — paperwork that travels with the freight.

04 / PRINCIPLE

EDI X12 / EDIFACT

204 load tenders, 214 status messages, and 990 responses spoken natively, with API bridges for carriers that left EDI behind.

05 / PRINCIPLE

GS1 · SSCC / GTIN

Labeling and identification modeled down to the pallet and the case — what the scanner reads matches what the system believes.

06 / PRINCIPLE

Customs · ICS2 / AES

Pre-arrival and export filings modeled into cross-border flows, with data captured where it originates instead of retyped at the border.

FAQ

Questions logistics teams
ask us

Cost, compliance, EDI integration, timelines — what shippers, carriers, and 3PL teams want settled before a first call.

  • Logistics software development is the design and engineering of custom systems that run freight operations: transportation management systems, warehouse software, last-mile routing, fleet telematics, and the data platforms that join them. The difference from buying off-the-shelf tools is direction — the software is shaped around your lanes, carriers, and workflows, not the other way around.

  • Transportation management systems, warehouse and fulfillment software, last-mile delivery platforms with driver apps, ELD-compliant fleet platforms, and supply chain data platforms for visibility and forecasting. Three are in production today: Conveya, an auto-transport TMS; HaulBreeze, our own supply chain management platform; and Pikkup, a geolocation marketplace for car services.

  • Integration surface sets the price more than feature count: each carrier EDI feed, telematics provider, and legacy WMS adds scope, and compliance modeling adds depth. A single-workflow MVP lands at the lower end; a platform that joins dispatch, fleet, and forecasting costs more. Discovery ends with a fixed estimate — the number arrives before the code does.

  • We don't retrofit compliance. FMCSA ELD logging flows are modeled with engine-synchronized, tamper-evident records, and hours-of-service and rest-break logic lives inside the dispatch core itself, so a driver is never dispatched into a duty-time violation. The records prove themselves because they are written continuously during normal dispatch, not reconstructed before an audit.

  • Yes. We speak X12 and EDIFACT natively — 204 load tenders, 214 status messages, 990 responses — and bridge them onto modern event streams alongside API-first carriers and telematics feeds. Dispatchers see one timeline per shipment regardless of how the carrier transmits.

  • A focused logistics MVP usually reaches production in 8 to 16 weeks. The spread is mostly integration surface — every carrier feed and legacy system adds time — while compliance modeling runs in parallel with the build instead of delaying it.

  • Yes, in specific places: demand forecasting on order and EDI history, exception detection on shipment streams, document extraction for consignment notes and PODs, and assistants that answer operational questions from live data — Conveya's AI-assisted FAQ is one in production. AI does not replace dispatchers; it removes the work that kept them from dispatching.
