As the logistics director for an enterprise, your warehouse management system can crash during high season, resulting in idle trucks and delayed shipments that cost around $40,000 per hour! Imagine hiring an agency that employs only general software developers to fix such critical business logic. They may know their programming, but what about logistics requirements like freight optimization, real-time inventory management, or order tracking? You will need a software development company that specializes in logistics so that they can build a warehouse management system that works the way you need it to from the first day.
A lot of software companies will simply treat logistics as another vertical market. However, there is a huge difference when it comes to the complexity of building enterprise-grade supply chain systems. This will require not only expertise in software development, but it will require understanding of logistics. This requires specific knowledge of industry standards such as EDI integration, knowledge of transportation laws and regulations, and experience integrating multiple ERPs, TMS and inventory management systems, plus IoT sensors and telemetry systems that will help you monitor your shipments in real-time.
The companies in this list are software development partners that understand all aspects of logistics. They have experience building supply chain management software solutions including warehouse orchestration platforms, logistics marketplaces, and transportation forecasting apps to help you track and ship orders without any downtime. These development partners were selected based on their industry experience and logistics knowledge, enterprise security certifications, experience in integration services, support after launch, and their ability to implement AI into your solutions. Here is a quick comparison of how the top 6 software companies compare to each other:
How to choose the right logistics software development companies
Not every developer who works with code knows the business of logistics. When you are evaluating logistics software developers, you need to know what to ask for. Look for specific details in your conversations that indicate the company is a specialist in logistics or supply chain technology. They should be able to provide examples of projects they have completed that involve the same areas as yours. They might have a website page describing their experience with warehouse management or last-mile delivery. They shouldn’t just say they are a software development company without having done work in your field before.
Check to see if the company has certifications for the security practices that you will need in your business. If you need a company that adheres to certain compliance standards (e.g. SOC2, ISO 27001, GDPR), then you need to make sure you partner with a company that has the experience working with your requirements. If you are a company with a lot of regulated data, then you are probably not going to work well with a company that doesn’t take security seriously.
It will help if your company has experience with your industry-specific integration requirements. If your company has been using certain ERP and/or TMS systems for several years, then you will probably need your new logistics solutions to be compatible with your current systems, so it will be good to find a company that has integrated with these systems.
Make sure to ask for information about maintenance plans or customer success support. If the development team has a contract with a company to build out a software solution, but no other involvement after the fact is outlined, then the contract has not addressed all your needs. You will need a partner that is going to help you make decisions down the line, whether that is ongoing maintenance, or help in deciding what features to add in the future.
Check to see what kind of programming languages or tools your vendor has experience with. Make sure they are current with technologies like machine learning or AI. If they are only using older techniques, then they probably are not as good at their job. Ask if they have had similar clients before to yours. Do they have a few successful partnerships that they have established and that you can verify? If they only work with short-term contracts then that means they are not reliable enough to handle larger contracts.
