Logistics Software Development
Built Around Your Operation
We build custom software for logistics businesses that have outgrown off-the-shelf. We built i-mve, an operations SaaS now running 510 UK removals and storage companies, with lead-portal, accounting, and payment integrations. Freight management, warehouse platforms, last-mile apps, supply chain visibility: built around how your operation actually works, not how a vendor thinks it should.
No commitment. Response within 24 hours.
The Software Problems Every Growing Logistics Business Hits
Off-the-shelf logistics software is built for the average operation. The moment your business diverges (different rate structures, unusual carrier relationships, specific client requirements) the software starts fighting you instead of helping you.
Spreadsheets running alongside your software
If your team maintains parallel spreadsheets to track things your platform can't handle, you have a data integrity problem and a hidden staff cost that compounds every month you don't fix it.
Integrations that don't exist
Your preferred carriers, lead sources, or accounting package aren't supported. Adding one requires months of vendor involvement. Every new business relationship becomes an IT project instead of a sales conversation.
Clients asking for visibility you can't provide
Enterprise clients expect real-time shipment visibility, custom reporting, and data feeds. Your platform can't deliver it. You're losing contracts or building manual workarounds that don't scale.
Billing complexity your software can't handle
Fuel surcharges, dimensional weight, accessorials, contract rates, recurring storage billing: your team calculates manually because the system can't handle your rate structures.
Logistics Software Development Services
Each block: the problem in your words, what we build, and the outcome.
Freight & Operations Platforms
"Our jobs, quotes, and invoices live in three systems." We build the full quote-to-invoice platform: order management, booking, document generation, tracking, exception handling, and client portals as one system, the way we built i-mve.
Warehouse & Storage Management
"We're losing storage revenue we can't even see." We build receiving, putaway, picking, dispatch, cycle counting, and recurring storage billing with per-account billing dates, so revenue stops leaking into spreadsheets.
Last-Mile & Driver Apps
"The office and the crew never have the same picture of a job." We build route planning, offline-first driver apps, real-time tracking, proof of delivery, and customer notifications for last-mile and courier operations.
Integrations & Visibility Tools
"Every new partner is a three-month IT project." We build carrier, lead-platform, and accounting integrations plus dashboards that aggregate data from carriers, warehouses, and partners into one source of truth.
How a Logistics Build Actually Runs
Drawn from building and running i-mve, not a generic diagram.
Operation Mapping
We map your real workflow end to end (enquiry to invoice, vehicle to warehouse) including the parts you've stopped noticing are unusual, because that's where off-the-shelf breaks.
Rate & Billing Model
Your pricing rules, surcharges, contract rates, and recurring-billing dates get modelled explicitly, so the system produces the numbers your team currently works out by hand.
Integration Scoping
Every carrier, lead source, and accounting package is assessed for API quality and edge cases before it goes in the plan, so integrations are priced, not discovered mid-build.
Staged, Fixed-Price Build
We build in stages with a working demo every week. You see progress in software, not status reports. Fixed price means scope surprises are our problem.
Migration & Parallel Run
Years of spreadsheets and a legacy database get migrated and cleaned, with a parallel-run period so both systems agree before you cut over.
Handover & Ongoing Support
Code, database, and IP transfer to you on final payment. Most clients keep us on for improvements afterwards, but that's a choice, not a lock-in.
Built for the Logistics Industry
The UK removals and storage SaaS we built from scratch, now live and serving 510 companies.
i-mve: All-in-One Platform for UK Removals & Storage
i-mve is a full SaaS platform we built for the UK removals and storage industry. It covers everything a removals business needs to run: job management, crew scheduling, automated quoting and invoicing, client contracts, containerised storage billing, and document generation, replacing the spreadsheets and manual processes most firms still rely on.
We integrated it with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage for accounting, and with UK lead platforms including Compare My Move, PinLocal, and Getamover. Built from scratch by Teamseven and maintained by us since 2022. Now live and serving 510 removal companies across the UK.
Outgrown your logistics software?
The next step is a call. We'll ask how your operation actually runs before we quote anything, and tell you honestly if off-the-shelf is still the right answer for you.

Questions About Logistics Software Development
Do you specialise in logistics software development?
Logistics and supply chain is one of our strongest verticals. We built i-mve, an operations SaaS now running 510 UK removals and storage companies, and we have shipped freight management, warehouse, and last-mile builds. If your operation has outgrown off-the-shelf software, we would like to talk.
Can you integrate with our existing carrier APIs?
Yes. Carrier and third-party integration is one of the most common components of our logistics builds. On i-mve we integrated accounting systems (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage), payment processing, and UK lead platforms including Compare My Move and Getamover. We assess each integration for complexity before it goes into an estimate.
Do you build client-facing visibility portals?
Yes. Enterprise logistics clients expect real-time shipment tracking, self-service document access, and custom reporting. We build client portals as part of a platform build or as a standalone addition to an existing system.
How long does a logistics software project take?
A focused logistics MVP (core order management, two or three integrations, a basic client portal) typically takes 16 to 24 weeks. A full platform with warehouse management, multi-carrier integration, and advanced reporting runs 28 to 40 weeks. We scope every project individually and quote a fixed price.
Can you replace our existing logistics software?
Yes. We handle migrations from existing platforms, including parallel-run periods where both systems operate at once to validate data integrity before cutover. A clean migration plan is part of the proposal, not a surprise later.
Can you take over a logistics platform another team built?
Yes. We offer Legacy Software Modernization and Software Project Rescue for teams who inherited a platform, lost their original developers, or have a build that stalled. We start with a code and architecture audit, then tell you honestly whether to extend, refactor, or rebuild the parts that cannot be saved.
Do you build driver and crew mobile apps?
Yes. We build offline-first driver and crew apps for job sheets, proof of delivery, photos, signatures, and status updates, because depots, basements, and rural routes do not guarantee signal. The app syncs back to the platform when a connection returns.
How much does custom logistics software cost?
Scope drives cost more than anything else. An integration layer on an existing system, a focused tool, and a full operations platform are different projects entirely. Everything is fixed-price after a scoping call, and you can get a rough range from our cost calculator first.
Do you handle GDPR for UK logistics platforms?
Yes. We have built GDPR-compliant platforms for UK clients since 2018, with consent tracking, retention rules, and data export and deletion built in as design requirements rather than a review afterthought. i-mve is the longest-running example.
