Technical solution
In order to reduce risks and costs, it was decided to start with PoC development and demonstrate the feasibility of the customer's idea. By involving the R&D division we tested several hypotheses, created individual software modules that formed the basis of the future platform. These modules were developed as independent solutions with the possibility of combining them into a custom product.
The combination of all solutions was a complete TMS with increased flexibility. We developed a public API that allows us to interact with the platform from the outside. The platform was also integrated with a set of logistics solutions from SAP.
To increase the transparency of business processes, we developed an electronic document management and reporting module, as well as a communication module. This solution was affordable and allowed us to track shipments via communication channels, which ultimately reduced the cost of the entire solution for end customers.
At the customer's request, in order to increase the transparency of the transportation process, we have developed a separate solution for drivers. We implemented it as a PWA, eliminating the need for drivers to install additional third-party applications.
