Logistics, warehousing & distribution software – built for real warehouse and distribution workflows.

Bespoke Software for Logistics, Warehousing & Distribution

Bespoke logistics and warehousing software brings stock, orders, pick/pack, scanning, despatch and reporting into one system—designed around real order-to-delivery workflows.

I help logistics and warehousing SMEs replace spreadsheets and ageing systems with fast, reliable .NET and SQL Server applications – covering stock, orders, pick/pack, scanning and reporting, often with Android apps for staff on the warehouse floor.

Many growing logistics businesses end up with a mixture of legacy software, manual processes and half-fitted “off the shelf” systems. They work – up to a point – but make it hard to grow without throwing more staff at the problem. I specialise in building and modernising bespoke web apps that match your real-world workflows, rather than forcing you into someone else’s template.

These are the types of systems I most commonly build or modernise for logistics and warehousing SMEs with growing operational complexity.

Typical systems for logistics & warehousing clients

  • Stock and inventory systems that keep warehouse, office and drivers in sync
  • Barcode or NFC-based pick/pack workflows with live status updates
  • Order processing, despatch and proof-of-delivery capture
  • Integration with carrier APIs, EDI feeds and customer portals
  • Dashboard reporting for volumes, performance and bottlenecks

When a bespoke system makes sense

Off-the-shelf warehouse or logistics platforms can be ideal if you fit their model exactly. But if you have specialist processes, tight integration with existing databases or complex customer requirements, a bespoke .NET application can give you:

  • Workflows that match how your teams actually operate
  • Cleaner integrations with existing accounting, CRM or production systems
  • Better performance by optimising the SQL Server database for your data
  • Control over features, roadmap and licensing instead of per-seat fees

How I usually work with logistics & warehouse SMEs

We’ll start with a short discovery call to understand how work currently flows from order to delivery, where the bottlenecks are and which systems need to talk to each other. From there I can map out a phased approach – for example:

  1. Stabilise and optimise any existing SQL Server databases and reports
  2. Add or improve a web app for office and warehouse staff
  3. Introduce an Android app for scanning and on-the-floor workflows
  4. Layer on dashboards, customer reporting and possibly AI-assisted search

The goal is always the same: fewer manual steps, fewer copy-and-paste operations, and clearer visibility from order intake to delivery.

Typical features

  • Stock & inventory management
  • Barcode / NFC scanning for pick/pack
  • Order, despatch & delivery tracking
  • Carrier / courier API integrations
  • Driver apps for Android devices
  • Reporting dashboards and exports

Is this a fit for you?

This industry fit is ideal if you:

  • Run your own warehouse or distribution operation
  • Have multiple systems that don’t quite join up
  • Rely on Excel and email to keep everything moving
  • Need better scanning, tracking or customer reporting
