AI Software for Logistics & Supply Chain Operations
Route optimization, WMS, freight analytics, and AI forecasting. For shippers, 3PLs, and brokers who learn about delays from customers, not systems.

Common Challenges
We Understand Logistics & Supply Chain Engineering
Logistics runs on real-time inventory, routing, and last-mile visibility. The challenges we help shippers, 3PLs, and freight teams work through.
Lack of Real-Time Visibility
Carrier EDI 214 status updates arrive hours to days behind reality. Operations teams find out about late shipments from the customer email, not their own dashboard, which is the worst possible order. Closing the gap means a unified shipment event model that normalizes EDI, API tracking, and GPS pings into one timeline.
Manual Route Planning
Dispatcher-on-Excel routing optimizes for whoever is loudest, not for cost-per-stop. Real route optimization respects vehicle capacity, driver Hours-of-Service caps, time windows, weight and volume limits, and customer-specific dwell time, all while reacting to traffic changes between the morning brief and the first stop.
Demand Forecasting Gaps
Most demand forecasts are last year's volume with a flat growth percent on top. That works until promotions, weather, holiday calendar shifts, or a competitor stockout move demand somewhere the model never saw. The accuracy gain from adding external signals is real and almost always justifies the engineering.
Carrier & Vendor Fragmentation
Most networks run 20 to 50 active carriers across LTL, parcel, drayage, and final-mile, each with its own portal, EDI dialect, accessorial schedule, and rate card. The result is invoice reconciliation done by hand and the inability to answer the simple question: which lane is cheapest at this service level today?
What We Build
Logistics & Supply Chain Engineering Capabilities
Engineering capabilities for warehouse management, transportation management, route optimization, and last-mile tracking.
Route Optimization Platforms
VRP solvers tuned to your actual constraints: multi-vehicle capacity, time windows, HOS rules, driver skills, paired pickups and deliveries, and live re-optimization when a stop slips. We pick the right solver (OR-Tools for mid-sized problems, custom column-generation for hard ones) instead of forcing one engine on every fleet.
Supply Chain Visibility & Control Towers
Control towers that ingest carrier APIs, EDI 214 feeds, GPS telematics, and warehouse scan events, normalize them into one shipment event model, and surface only the exceptions worth a human. Escalation routes through Slack, Teams, or your ticketing system, not into an inbox no one reads.
Demand Forecasting & Inventory AI
Gradient-boosted and deep-learning forecasts trained on historical demand, promotions calendars, price elasticity, weather, and competitor stockout signals where we can get them. Hierarchical reconciliation (SKU to category to region) so the numbers add up cleanly when the COO opens the planning view.
Warehouse Management Systems
Custom WMS builds for operations that have outgrown Manhattan or Blue Yonder pricing, or are stuck on a 15-year-old AS/400. Receiving, putaway by velocity, wave and zone picking, pack stations with cartonization, and barcode or RFID hardware integration. Labor standards measured against real takt time, not a vendor brochure.
Freight Analytics & Cost Optimization
Lane-level benchmarking against your own historical rates and DAT or Truckstop market data, accessorial auditing that flags duplicate fuel surcharges and unauthorized detention, mode optimization (parcel-to-LTL, LTL-to-TL consolidation), and carrier scorecards that hold up in QBR meetings.
EDI & Carrier Integration
EDI 204, 210, 214, 856, 990, and 997 against ANSI X12 or EDIFACT (plus the per-trading-partner companion docs nobody publishes cleanly), VAN integrations where required, and REST APIs for carriers that have moved on from EDI. We expect partner-side noncompliance and build the validator and re-send logic to match.

Technologies We Use
The Go, Python, PostgreSQL, geospatial, and EDI integration tooling we reach for on production logistics work.
Compliance & Standards
Built to Meet Regulations
Engineering practices aligned with C-TPAT, ISO 9001, and the trade and customs controls logistics buyers audit.
The Software Pro Difference
Why Choose Software Pro
The reasons engineering leaders keep coming back, told the way we'd tell them in the room.
EDI and Carrier Integration Depth
We have built against ANSI X12, EDIFACT, and REST APIs across LTL, TL, parcel, and drayage carriers. Partner-side noncompliance is expected. We build the validator and re-send logic to match.
Route Optimization at Fleet Scale
VRP solvers tuned to your actual constraints: HOS rules, time windows, vehicle capacity, and driver skills. Live re-optimization when stops slip, not just a morning plan that ignores traffic.
WMS and TMS Engineering Experience
Custom warehouse and transportation management systems for operations that have outgrown off-the-shelf pricing or need integrations the major vendors do not cleanly support.
Real-Time Visibility Architecture
Control towers that surface exceptions before the customer calls. Carrier APIs, EDI feeds, GPS telematics, and warehouse scans normalized into one shipment event timeline.
US Time Zone Alignment
6 to 8 hours of daily overlap with every US timezone. When a carrier integration goes down during peak season, your team can reach ours the same day.
Exception Management Built In
Logistics platforms get judged on exceptions, not the 95% that goes right. We design escalation routing and exception workflows from the architecture phase, not as a post-launch patch.
Our Logistics & Supply Chain Engagement Process
A delivery process built for shippers and 3PLs, with carrier integration testing, peak-day load profiling, and exception workflow validation in scope.
Current State Analysis
We review your existing TMS, WMS, carrier relationships, and data flows in the first week. The integrations that will take longest are identified at kickoff, not when they block the launch.
Integration Mapping
We document every carrier API, EDI trading partner, and internal system connection. Integration scope is the most common source of project overruns in logistics. We size it honestly before work starts.
Core Platform Development
We build the shipment data model, carrier integrations, and the primary workflows your operations team will run every day. Working demos happen at the end of every two-week sprint.
Carrier and EDI Onboarding
Each carrier integration is built and tested against real data, with per-partner error handling and re-send logic documented. Partner readiness is never what the partner says it is, so we plan the buffer in.
Pilot with Real Shipments
A controlled pilot runs before full cutover. Your operations team trains on the new system while the existing one stays available. Rollback is always an option until you decide otherwise.
Go-Live and 30-Day Support
We go live with your team on standby and monitor exception rates and integration health for the first 30 days. The engineers who built the system handle the post-launch questions, not a support tier.
Client Reviews
What Our Clients Say
"Software Pro took off the workload of production from our shoulders entirely. They designed and developed the entire platform from scratch and provided continuous application support. We're already in talks with them for another project."
E-Commerce Development & Application Support
Phillip Tyler
Founder, Kreative Bugs
"Their commitment to clear communication, timely delivery, and post-launch support truly impressed us. They delivered a robust, scalable website with visually stunning design. Post-launch training and troubleshooting ensured we could manage everything independently."
Web Development & UI/UX Design
Daniel Foster
Manager, Bulvar Global
"Software Pro helped us where other development teams couldn't. One of our client sites saw a 13% organic increase within one month of their technical work. The team always delivers on time and goes above and beyond to meet expectations. They are amazing!"
