Case study · Logistics
Dispatch ran on 14 SaaS tools glued together with automation add-ons. We replaced the core with one custom dispatch platform — and had a working prototype in production in three weeks.

time spent planning routes
Planners worked across a TMS, two tracking tools, spreadsheets, a form builder and several automation platforms. Licence costs grew with every new driver and depot.
Because data was copied between tools, a single changed delivery address could take three people and four systems to update.
01
One week to map every tool, cost and data flow — and decide which ones were core and which were commodity.
02
Two weeks to ship a dispatch board with live tracking to one depot, running alongside the old tools.
03
Depot by depot over four months, retiring each SaaS tool as soon as its last user moved over.
04
Accounting, email and fuel cards stayed on proven products, connected through APIs.
