Logistics operations software · Singapore
A logistics job tracking system built around your workflow
Give every shipment or service job one record, owner and visible state from handover to completion. Keep documents, exceptions and customer-update status with the job instead of reconstructing them across inboxes and spreadsheets.
Decision point
When this is a fit
A first release is worth scoping when several of these conditions describe the same repeated workflow.
- Job status lives in a spreadsheet that only part of the team updates
- Documents are stored in email threads or folders with inconsistent names
- Customer updates depend on somebody asking operations for the latest position
- Exceptions are discussed in chat but are not visible on the job record
- Supervisors cannot see which jobs are waiting, blocked or ready for the next step
The current workflow
The job exists in several places at once
A booking or confirmed quote becomes a row, documents arrive by email, milestones are discussed in chat and customer updates are written from whatever information the coordinator can assemble. The spreadsheet shows part of the job but not the complete operating history.
The first release should follow one job type from a clear starting event to a clear completed state. Additional branches can be added after the team has operated that core flow.
The first release
One job record with ownership and exceptions
Each agreed job carries the fields, documents, milestones, owner and exception status the team needs. Views show what is open and what needs action without pretending to replace specialist transport, customs or accounting platforms.
Proposed scope
What the first release includes
The written proposal fixes the exact roles, states, integrations and acceptance criteria. These are the parts normally worth reviewing first.
- 01
Job intake and record
Create a job from an agreed source with the identifiers, parties, service details and dates needed for the first workflow.
- 02
States, owners and next actions
Move jobs through named stages, assign responsibility and make waiting or blocked work visible.
- 03
Documents and exceptions
Attach or link the agreed documents and record exceptions where the team managing the job can see them.
- 04
Operational and customer-update views
Give the team a queue for internal action and, where scoped, a controlled view or update path for customers.
Before
The state has to be reconstructed
A coordinator assembles the current job position from a row, email thread, folder and recent messages before deciding what to do or tell the customer.
After
The state is part of the record
The job record shows its owner, state, milestones, documents, exceptions and next action; customer communication can use that agreed source.
Integrations
Connect only what the first release needs
- Structured imports from existing job or booking records
- Email notifications and approved document storage
- Customer portals or update messages included in the written scope
- TMS, accounting or other systems only where documented access is available
Feasibility, access and third-party fees are confirmed before they enter the written scope.
Boundaries
What it does not replace
- This is not a transport-management system, customs filing platform or carrier network.
- Live vehicle, vessel or parcel tracking requires an available external data source and separate assessment.
- Complex rate management, unrestricted EDI and historical migration are outside the base scope unless explicitly quoted.
- The system makes operational status visible; it does not guarantee the accuracy or timing of third-party data.
Scope, price and timing
Start with one bounded operating workflow
The applicable Business App / MVP range is S$2,700–S$24,000. Delivery is approximately 2–4 weeks. The final price depends on roles, integrations, data readiness and production requirements confirmed during scoping.

Next step
Map the first job lifecycle worth tracking
Describe one job type, the states it moves through and where the team loses visibility. You will get a recommended first release, an indicative cost and an honest view of the integrations and boundaries involved.
