Custom Software for Transport & Logistics
Logistics companies must optimise complex supply chains while providing real-time visibility to customers. We build systems that streamline operations and improve delivery performance.
Transport and logistics businesses live and die on visibility. If you can't see where your vehicles, drivers, and consignments are right now, you find out about problems when the customer rings — not before. Most operators we talk to are running a patchwork: a transport management system that does some things, spreadsheets for allocations, paper run sheets in the truck, and a dispatcher who spends half the day answering "where's my delivery?" calls. Proof of delivery lives on signed dockets that take days to make it back to the office, which means invoicing lags and disputes drag on.
Custom software closes those gaps without forcing you to rip out the systems that already work. A driver app puts run sheets, navigation, sign-on-glass POD capture, and exception handling on the phone already in the driver's pocket — and the data lands in your office systems the moment the job completes. A customer tracking portal answers the "where is it?" question automatically, with real-time status and notifications, so your team stops fielding calls. Behind the scenes, we connect to the platforms you already run: warehouse and transport systems like Cartoncloud and Machship, carriers like StarTrack and Toll, and telematics providers like Samsara and Verizon Connect, so route, vehicle, and consignment data flows in one direction instead of being re-keyed in three places.
Route planning is the other place hours leak. When allocations are done by memory and a whiteboard, you're carrying capacity you don't need on some runs and missing time windows on others. We build optimisation tooling that fits how your operation actually works — your vehicle types, your customer time windows, your depot constraints — rather than a generic algorithm that assumes a courier model you don't run. And because delivery confirmation flows straight through, invoicing can fire on completion instead of at the end of the week, which does real things to cash flow.
IntraCode is a Brisbane-based development team working with transport and logistics operators across Australia. We start with a short discovery phase to map your runs, your systems, and where the manual handling actually happens, then quote fixed-price so the investment is known before you commit. You own all the code and IP outright — no per-vehicle licensing, no platform lock-in.

Logistics Software Questions, Answered
Can you integrate with Cartoncloud, Machship, or our telematics?
Yes. Most logistics projects connect to existing systems rather than replacing them. We've built integrations with TMS and freight platforms like Cartoncloud and Machship, carrier APIs like StarTrack and Toll, and telematics providers like Samsara and Verizon Connect. Your current systems stay the source of truth; custom tools handle the workflows around them.
How much does a custom driver app or POD system cost?
A focused driver app with run sheets, sign-on-glass proof of delivery, and photo capture typically starts around $20,000–$45,000. A full platform — driver app, dispatch console, customer tracking portal, and TMS integration — ranges higher depending on scope. We quote fixed-price after discovery, so there are no surprises.
Will the driver app work in areas with poor mobile coverage?
Yes — we build driver apps offline-first. Run sheets download before the driver leaves the depot, PODs and exceptions are captured locally, and everything syncs automatically when coverage returns. Drivers never lose work or stand around waiting for signal, which matters on regional and rural runs.
How long does a logistics software project take?
A driver app or customer tracking portal typically delivers in 8–12 weeks. Larger builds with dispatch tooling, route optimisation, and multiple system integrations run 3–6 months. We ship in stages, so drivers and dispatchers are using working software early rather than waiting for a big-bang launch.
Do we own the software, or are we locked into your platform?
You own it outright. All code, designs, and IP transfer to you on final payment — there's no per-vehicle or per-driver licensing and no platform lock-in. Many clients keep us on for ongoing support and new features, but that's a choice, not a dependency.
