Industries · Logistics & Supply Chain
The systems that move goods can't afford to stop.
High-availability infrastructure, real-time data pipelines, and operational resilience for logistics platforms, freight networks, and supply-chain software where downtime has a direct cost per minute.
Pain points we hear most often
Operational downtime with a direct cost per minute
When a warehouse management system or dispatch platform goes down, freight stops moving and SLA penalties begin. We design for five-nines availability with tested failover, not theoretical recovery plans.
Real-time tracking data at scale
Thousands of vehicles, shipments, and events streaming simultaneously. We build the ingestion and processing pipelines that handle the volume, with sub-second delivery to operational dashboards.
Integration sprawl across carriers, ERPs, and partners
Every carrier integration is a potential failure point. We build integration infrastructure with circuit-breakers, retry logic, dead-letter queues, and alert coverage so a partner outage doesn't become your outage.
Who we work with in Logistics & Supply Chain
Freight and carrier platform
Tracking, routing, and dispatch infrastructure for fleets or freight networks with real-time data requirements and external partner integrations.
Warehouse management software vendor
High-availability SaaS serving logistics operations teams where unplanned downtime has direct financial consequences.
Supply-chain visibility platform
Aggregating data from multiple upstream partners into a consistent, low-latency view for procurement and operations teams.
Last-mile delivery operator
Driver dispatch, proof-of-delivery, and customer tracking with mobile-first reliability and burst capacity during peak seasons.
Frequently asked questions
What availability targets are realistic for logistics infrastructure? +
99.9% is table stakes; we typically design for 99.95–99.99% for critical dispatch and tracking paths. The cost of the last nine is real — we model the tradeoff with you.
How do you handle integration reliability with external carriers? +
Circuit-breakers, retry-with-backoff, dead-letter queues, and alerting on integration-specific error rates. We treat each carrier as a potentially unreliable upstream and design accordingly.
Can you build real-time tracking infrastructure? +
Yes — IoT/GPS event ingestion (MQTT, Kafka, cloud-native equivalents), stream processing for deduplication and enrichment, and WebSocket or SSE delivery to operational frontends.
How do you handle peak seasons (holiday, peak surcharges)? +
Pre-season load testing, autoscaling envelope tuning, and capacity reservation for predictable peaks. We rehearse the traffic curve, not just model it.
What's your approach to database reliability for logistics? +
Multi-AZ primary, read replicas for operational dashboards, and point-in-time recovery with tested restore procedures. We document the exact RTO and RTO for each data tier.
Can you help with multi-region for global supply chains? +
Yes — active-passive is common; active-active for the highest-criticality paths. Data residency and latency requirements often drive the region topology more than pure resilience.
How do you manage cost for high-throughput event pipelines? +
Partitioning and retention tuning on message queues, tiered storage for cold telemetry data, and spot-instance strategies for batch analytics workloads.
Do you have experience with ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle)? +
We handle the infrastructure side — network connectivity, authentication, message transformation, and monitoring. Deep ERP functional knowledge is usually a partner capability we co-ordinate with.
