Short & clear

Good software for logistics connects order entry, dispatching, drivers and customer information so that status data flows without phone chains. It replaces spreadsheets and paper slips, connects telematics, ERP and EDI and keeps running even with poor reception. Standard software is often enough for standard workflows; a custom solution pays off where your workflows are your competitive advantage. Costs depend on scope; our Starter from €2,500, Professional from €8,000 and Enterprise (custom) packages serve as a guide.

Software for logistics with Nano Concepts

In logistics, information has to be faster than the goods. Where is the shipment? When will the driver arrive? Has the delivery been unloaded and signed for? Those who clarify these questions by phone tie up dispatchers and drivers and still get follow-up inquiries from customers. Software for logistics makes the status visible – to dispatch, drivers and customers at the same time – and takes routine off the office so that time remains for exceptions.

01

Typical building blocks are order entry, route planning with time windows, a driver app with status updates, photo and signature, and warehouse capture by scanner. Add to that interfaces to your ERP, to telematics systems and to customers via EDI. Whether standard software is enough depends on how specific your workflows are. We tell you openly when a standard system is the better choice and build custom where your particularity lies – for example in special transports, warehouse logic or customer portals.

02

Software for drivers has to work even in dead zones, be easy to use and relieve drivers rather than monitor them. Location data of employees is personal data; its processing should be planned transparently and with data protection and co-determination in mind. Driving and rest times also play a role in dispatching, but compliance remains your responsibility. These notes do not replace legal advice.

What matters with Software for logistics

Real-time status data

Dispatch and customers need up-to-date information on pickup, delivery and delays without anyone having to make a phone call.

Offline-capable driver app

Dead zones are part of everyday life; the app must cache data and synchronize it reliably later.

Integration with ERP, telematics and EDI

Orders, invoices and vehicle data should flow without double entry; customers often require data exchange via EDI.

Driving and rest times and documents

Dispatching must take statutory driving and rest times and freight documents into account; responsibility for compliance remains with your company.

Privacy for location and driver data

Data of employees and customers must be processed transparently and for a specific purpose; co-determination can play a role.

Features

These are the features we build for you

Order and dispatch board

Orders, vehicles and drivers at a glance, with assignment by click and warnings about conflicts.

Route planning with time windows

Stops are ordered by location, time window and capacity; changes during the day can be re-planned quickly.

Driver app

Job overview, navigation via link, status updates, photo and signature as digital proof of delivery, also offline.

Warehouse and goods receipt capture

Scanning of pallets and shipments, storage locations and stock with traceability.

Tracking portal for customers

Customers see the shipment status themselves and download proof of delivery; this relieves the office.

Interfaces and reporting

Integration with ERP, telematics and EDI as well as dashboards on punctuality, utilization and performance.

Practical examples

Here's what that looks like day to day

Regional freight forwarder with its own fleet

Dispatching runs on spreadsheets and phone. With a dispatch board and driver app, the office and customers see the status of the day, and proof of delivery is available digitally instead of as a paper slip in the vehicle.

Warehouse logistics provider with a customer portal

Customers ask daily about stock and inbound and outbound movements. A portal lets them see their data themselves, so calls and emails to the office become less frequent.

Courier service with time windows

Many short-notice orders meet limited capacity. Route planning arranges stops by time window, and the driver app reports each delivery back immediately.

Process

Four steps to your solution

  1. Initial consultation & process reviewWe go through your workflows from order receipt to invoice and clarify the existing systems.
  2. Standard or custom?We honestly check where standard software is enough and where custom work pays off, and prepare a transparent quote.
  3. Development in stepsWe deliver in stages, for example driver app and status first, then dispatch board and portal, and test in live operation.
  4. Rollout & supportDrivers and dispatchers are briefed; during operation we adapt the software to new requirements.

Standard software makes sense if your workflows are common and should be ready for use quickly. Custom pays off if particularities define your business or several isolated solutions are meant to grow together. We advise neutrally on this.

Often yes, if the systems offer interfaces or exports. We check this before the quote. For customers with EDI requirements, we implement the data exchange as well.

Yes, a well-built driver app caches status updates, photos and signatures and transmits them as soon as reception is available again. That is one of the basic requirements that we plan for from the start.

Location and performance data of employees is personal data and should be processed only for a specific purpose and transparently; depending on the company, the works council has to be involved. We plan the data flows with you. These notes do not replace legal advice.

Yes, via a tracking portal or a link per shipment. You decide which information is visible. This relieves the office because status inquiries by phone become less frequent.
