Logistics platforms engineered for the shipment that does not go to plan.
A shipment is fine until it is not. A truck breaks down, a port strikes, a regional hub closes, customs reclassifies a product. We build TMS, WMS and last-mile platforms that stay usable when the plan breaks, because that is when software actually earns its keep.
What actually breaks in this space.
Shipments losing visibility between modes
Air to sea to truck to last-mile. Every handover drops data. Customers call support because the tracking page stopped updating 14 hours ago.
TMS and WMS that only integrate on paper
The contract says they are integrated. In production, ops teams still copy numbers between screens because events are out of sync.
Last-mile eating margin
Failed deliveries, missed windows and fuel costs quietly turn profitable lanes into losses that nobody catches until the quarter closes.
Customs and compliance across borders
HS codes, duty calculations, restricted goods and local regulations scattered across spreadsheets, emails and broker portals.
Capabilities we bring to this industry.
Transportation management systems
Custom TMS for rating, planning, dispatch, settlement and carrier management across multi-modal networks.
Warehouse management systems
Inbound, put-away, picking, packing and outbound flows tuned to your warehouse layout, not a vendor template.
Last-mile orchestration
Route optimization, driver apps, proof of delivery, cash-on-delivery, failed delivery workflows and reattempts.
Real-time visibility
Unified tracking across air, sea, rail and road with proactive exception management and customer-facing ETAs that are actually accurate.
Telematics and IoT integration
Vehicle telemetry, cold-chain monitoring and asset tracking integrated into the operations center, not a separate app.
Logistics analytics
On-time performance, cost per shipment, lane profitability and carrier scorecards with drill-down to shipment level.
Measured, not modeled.
Shapes these engagements usually take.
Multi-modal TMS across 40+ carriers
Unified rating, dispatch and settlement across road, rail, air and sea carriers. Manual reconciliation cut by 70%.
Last-mile platform for a regional retailer
Route optimization, driver app and proof of delivery across 1,200 daily deliveries. Failed delivery rate down 35%.
Real-time visibility across a global supply chain
Event ingestion from 30+ carrier APIs, EDI partners and IoT sensors. Single shipment timeline across all modes.
Tools and technologies we reach for here.
Common questions
- What logistics software does FictiveBox build?
- Transportation management systems, warehouse management systems, last-mile orchestration, real-time visibility platforms, telematics and IoT integration, and logistics analytics.
- What problems do these platforms address?
- Shipments losing visibility as they move between modes, TMS and WMS that integrate only on paper, last-mile costs eroding margin, and customs and compliance handling across borders. The design goal is a platform that stays usable when the plan breaks, because that is when it matters.
- When is a custom logistics platform the right choice?
- When the operating model does not fit a packaged product: unusual multi-modal flows, a specific carrier or customs footprint, or integration requirements that a standard TMS cannot express. Where a package fits, integration work is usually the better investment.
- Which technologies are used for logistics platforms?
- TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, OR-Tools, Mapbox, React Native, Kubernetes and Snowflake.
