Customized logistics software: processes instead of compromises

Standard software ends where your processes begin. As an experienced partner for software development in logistics, we develop solutions that are tailored to your warehouse structure, your vehicle fleet and your customer processes - not the other way around.

Our more than 80 IT experts know the challenges from practical experience: data silos between systems, a lack of real-time transparency, heterogeneous carrier APIs and the pressure to handle more volume with the same resources every day. We solve them - technically sound and sustainable in the long term.

Warehouse Management Software (WMS)

Customized WMS solutions: Incoming goods, storage, picking, shipping. Mobile apps for warehouse employees, barcode & RFID integration, automatic batch and wave picking - based on Azure Cloud.

Transport Management & Route Optimization (TMS)

TMS development for transport planning, capacity management and invoicing. Dynamic route optimization taking into account time windows, vehicle capacities, driving and rest times as well as live traffic data.

Telematics & fleet management

Vendor-independent telematics platforms: GPS position, vehicle status, fuel consumption, driver behavior and cargo space monitoring in a standardized dashboard - with automatic ERP transfer.

Last-Mile & Delivery Portal

Driver apps for the last mile: digital proof of delivery, live ETA for recipients, returns management and automated customer communication. Direct connection to parcel service provider APIs and CEP systems.

Real-time tracking & customer portal

Real-time shipment tracking portals for your customers: Status updates, delivery time forecasts, document downloads and complaint management - GDPR-compliant and can be integrated with your own branding.

ERP & carrier integration

Seamless data flows between SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, customs systems, carrier APIs (DHL, DPD, UPS, forwarder's own) and your logistics platform - based on open REST APIs and established EDI standards.

Logistics domain knowledge from practice

prodot has implemented projects for freight forwarders, trading companies and industrial companies with their own logistics. We know dispatcher workflows, customs processes and warehousing logic from the real world - no training required at your expense.

Vendor-independent integration

We are not beholden to any provider. We integrate SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, any carrier APIs (DHL, DPD, UPS, forwarder's own), telematics providers and customs systems based on open standards such as REST, EDI and SOAP.

Microsoft & Azure expertise

As an experienced Microsoft partner, we rely on Azure for scalable cloud infrastructure, .NET for robust backend development and Power BI for operational logistics dashboards - with real depth instead of certification logos.

End-to-end from a single source

From requirements analysis to API design, app development and data migration through to ongoing operation - without passing on to subcontractors and without any loss of information between project phases.

AI-ready for the next level

Our logistics solutions are designed for AI enhancements right from the start: Route optimization with machine learning, demand forecasting for warehouse planning and automatic document recognition via OCR and LLMs.

Compliance & data security by design

GDPR-compliant shipment tracking, NIS2 requirements for critical infrastructures, digital freight documentation - at prodot, compliance is not an afterthought, but part of the architecture.

Frequently asked questions about software development in logistics

What is the difference between standard and customized software in logistics?
How long does it take to develop logistics software?
How does prodot integrate logistics software into existing ERP systems?
Can prodot also connect carrier APIs and parcel service providers?
What needs to be considered when developing driver apps?

Driver apps have to work under real-life conditions: poor network connection, operation with gloves, time pressure. We develop offline-first architectures that work reliably even without a stable network and synchronize data as soon as a connection is established. This is complemented by barrier-free UX, digital signatures, photo capture for proof of delivery and direct connection to route planning and ERP.
How is real-time tracking implemented technically?

Real-time tracking is typically based on a combination of GPS data from vehicles or driver devices, telematics APIs and a scalable event streaming platform (e.g. Azure Event Hubs or Apache Kafka). The position data is processed in real time, linked to order data and delivered to customer portals and dispatcher dashboards via WebSockets or server-sent events. prodot develops the entire chain - from the data source to the UI.
What role does AI play in logistics software?

AI opens up three main areas in logistics: Route optimization with machine learning (taking into account time windows, vehicle capacities and historical traffic data), demand forecasts for warehouse planning (inventory optimization, automatic reordering) and automatic document recognition via OCR and LLMs (waybills, delivery bills, customs documents). prodot bases all its logistics solutions on an AI-ready architecture so that these components can be added at any time.
