Logistics & Supply Chain

Where Real-Time Visibility and Route Optimization Mean Competitive Advantage

Logistics runs on information — where things are, where they're going, and when they'll arrive. Our team has built fleet tracking systems, route optimization engines, and warehouse management platforms for carriers, 3PLs, and supply chain operations that turn logistics from cost center to competitive advantage.

The Challenge

Logistics Complexity Requires
Specialized Systems

"Where Is It?" Shouldn't Be a Question

Customers expect Amazon-level tracking. When they can't see their shipment in real-time, they call your support team. Every call costs $5-15. Real-time visibility isn't a feature anymore — it's table stakes.

Inefficient Routes Burn Fuel and Profit

A 10% improvement in route efficiency can mean 20% fuel savings. But route optimization isn't just about shortest distance — it's about time windows, vehicle capacity, driver hours, and traffic patterns. Generic mapping APIs don't cut it.

Warehouse Chaos Compounds Daily

Manual inventory counts, paper-based picking, lost items — warehouse inefficiency compounds. Every minute searching for inventory is a minute not shipping. Modern WMS systems can cut picking time by 50%.

"In logistics, information is the product. When you know exactly where everything is, when it will arrive, and what might go wrong — you can make better decisions faster than competitors still checking spreadsheets. Our team builds that kind of visibility."
— Gautam Thapa, CEO
Logistics Capabilities

Logistics Systems Our Team Has Built

Deep experience across the supply chain spectrum — from fleet tracking to warehouse management.

Real-Time Fleet Tracking

Know where everything is, always

GPS tracking that updates in real-time, not every 15 minutes. Geofencing that triggers alerts automatically. ETAs that adjust based on traffic, weather, and actual speed. We build tracking systems that answer "where is it?" before customers ask.

What We Deliver

  • Sub-second GPS position updates
  • Geofencing with automatic alerts
  • Dynamic ETA calculations
  • Driver behavior monitoring
  • Customer-facing tracking portals

Technical Approach

IoT device integration, time-series databases for position history, real-time event processing, mobile-optimized tracking interfaces.

Route Optimization

Smarter routes, lower costs

Route optimization that considers everything — distance, time windows, vehicle capacity, driver hours, traffic patterns, and delivery priorities. We build optimization engines that reduce fuel costs, increase delivery capacity, and improve on-time performance. From long-haul trucking to last-mile delivery, we optimize routes that work in the real world.

What We Deliver

  • Multi-stop route optimization
  • Last-mile delivery optimization
  • Time window constraint handling
  • Vehicle capacity planning
  • Real-time re-routing for disruptions
  • Historical route analysis

Technical Approach

Constraint optimization algorithms, real-time traffic integration, machine learning for demand prediction, mobile dispatch apps.

Warehouse Management Systems

Every item, every location, every time

Warehouse systems that know where everything is, direct workers to the right location, and optimize picking routes. We build WMS platforms that reduce picking time, eliminate inventory discrepancies, and scale with your operation.

What We Deliver

  • Real-time inventory visibility
  • Directed picking and putaway
  • Wave planning and optimization
  • Barcode/RFID integration
  • Yard management

Technical Approach

Mobile-first worker interfaces, real-time inventory updates, location-based optimization, integration with automation equipment.

Supply Chain Visibility

See your entire supply chain

End-to-end visibility across suppliers, carriers, warehouses, and customers. We build platforms that aggregate data from multiple sources, predict disruptions before they happen, and enable proactive supply chain management.

What We Deliver

  • Multi-tier supplier visibility
  • Shipment tracking aggregation
  • Exception management dashboards
  • Predictive disruption alerts
  • Document management (BOL, POD, customs)
  • Performance analytics

Technical Approach

API integration with carriers and suppliers, event-driven architecture, machine learning for anomaly detection, real-time dashboards.

Real-Time Architecture

Three Patterns for Real-Time Logistics

Not all real-time requirements are the same. We choose architecture patterns based on your use case.

Event Streaming

Use Case: GPS positions, sensor data

Architecture: Kafka, time-series DB, sub-second latency

Transactional

Use Case: Inventory updates, order status

Architecture: PostgreSQL, distributed locking, ACID compliance

Computational

Use Case: Route optimization, ETAs

Architecture: Background workers, caching, incremental updates

Key Principle: Right-Size Real-Time

True real-time (sub-second) is expensive and complex. GPS tracking can be real-time. Inventory updates need consistency, not speed. Route optimization can run in background. We design for your actual requirements, not buzzwords.

Technology Stack

Logistics Technology Stack

We choose technologies based on real-time capabilities, optimization performance, and integration ecosystem.

Backend

Why: Transactions, time-series, caching

Messaging

Why: Cross-platform driver/worker apps

IoT

Why: Device connectivity, sensor data

Maps

Why: Geocoding, routing, traffic

Logistics tech stacks prioritize reliability and integration — systems must handle IoT device streams, integrate with multiple carriers and ERPs, and maintain uptime during critical operations. Every technology choice considers operational resilience.

Integration Standards

Logistics Integrations We Handle

Logistics systems must integrate with carriers, ERPs, WMS, TMS, and IoT devices. We've built these connections.

Logistics integration is never simple — EDI formats vary by carrier, API documentation is incomplete, and legacy systems don't always behave as documented. We've debugged these integrations in production and know where they break.

Why Choose Us

Why ByteForever for Logistics?

Real-Time Expertise

We understand the architecture patterns for true real-time — event streaming, time-series databases, and optimized queries that deliver sub-second updates without breaking the bank.

Optimization Experience

Route optimization isn't just shortest path. We've built systems that handle time windows, capacity constraints, driver hours, and real-time re-routing.

Integration Veterans

EDI, carrier APIs, ERP connections — we've integrated systems that weren't designed to talk to each other. We handle the complexity so you don't have to.

Senior Logistics Engineers

5+ years experience each. Engineers who've built fleet tracking systems and warehouse platforms that handle real operational volume.

Money-Back Guarantee

If our first sprint doesn't meet your expectations, you don't pay for it. For logistics projects, we define success criteria upfront — tracking accuracy verified, route optimization tested, integration endpoints validated. If we miss them, it's on us.
