Logistics & Supply Chain Software Development in Sydney & Melbourne

Q: How long does a logistics software project take?

Most projects run 3 to 6 months depending on complexity and how much integration with existing systems is required.

Q: Can the system integrate with our existing ERP or accounting software?

Yes, integrating with existing ERP, accounting, and operational systems is part of the build, so the new platform fits into how the business already runs.

Q: Do drivers or warehouse staff need training to use the system?

The systems are built for the people actually using them day to day, drivers, warehouse staff, dispatchers, not just the management team, which minimises the training burden compared to a generic enterprise platform.

Q: Can you build for a specific part of logistics, like just fleet dispatch or just warehouse management?

Yes, we scope the build around what your business actually needs, a full end-to-end platform isn't always necessary, and we'll recommend a smaller, focused build where that's genuinely the better fit.

Q: Where is Software Co based?

Sydney and Melbourne, plus a San Francisco office, with logistics clients across Australia.

Q: Is the first consultation free?

Yes, the initial consultation is free with no obligation to continue.

We engineer custom Transport Management Systems (TMS), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), automated fleet dispatch apps, and real-time telematics platforms for Australian operators.

Australia’s logistics sector runs across some of the largest distances of any developed economy, connecting ports, warehouses, retail networks, and last-mile delivery routes spread across a continent, not a compact region. That geography makes real-time visibility and route efficiency a genuinely bigger problem here than in most markets. Software Co builds logistics and supply chain software for freight companies, transport operators, and warehouse businesses in Sydney, Melbourne, and across Australia.

Most custom systems in this category run between $50,000 and $200,000 depending on complexity, typically delivered over 3 to 6 months, fixed-price once scope is locked in during discovery, the same model already used across our other services, so cost isn’t an open-ended estimate that grows as the project goes on.

Why Australian Logistics Operators Partner With Software Co

Generic off-the-shelf logistics software forces a business to operate around the software’s assumptions instead of the other way around. We build around how your operation actually runs, your specific fleet, your specific warehouse layout, your specific customer commitments, rather than adapting a template built for a different kind of logistics business entirely.

Logistics Supply Chain Software

Australian Logistics Interoperability & Telematics Stack

Enterprise ERP & Accounting Connectors

Bi-directional API integrations with SAP, Oracle NetSuite, MYOB Enterprise, and Xero to synchronize invoicing, consignment notes, and freight billing automatically.

Telematics & Vehicle IoT Integration

Direct data pipelines pulling telemetry from onboard GPS units, temperature sensors for cold-chain monitoring, and engine diagnostic protocols across commercial vehicle fleets.

National Compliance Frameworks

Built-in compliance logic supporting Australian Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) requirements, including Electronic Work Diary (EWD) record-keeping and fatigue management rules for long-haul transport.

Enterprise Supply Chain Engineering & Fleet Automation Stack

Transport Management Systems

Custom TMS platforms for planning loads, selecting carriers, and managing transport operations end to end, built around your actual fleet and route network rather than a generic dispatch template.

Warehouse Management Systems

WMS platforms that track inventory location, manage stock levels, and coordinate picking and packing, reducing the stockouts and overstock that come from running a warehouse on spreadsheets and manual counts.

Fleet & Dispatch Apps

Driver-facing dispatch apps with real-time job assignment and route information, paired with a dispatcher dashboard that gives your team live visibility into where every vehicle actually is.

Real-Time Tracking & Visibility

End-to-end shipment tracking that gives your team and your customers a clear view of where freight is at every stage, improving both internal decision-making and customer communication.

Inventory & Demand Planning

Inventory management tools that align stock levels with delivery schedules and demand patterns, reducing the guesswork that leads to either stockouts or capital sitting in excess inventory.

ERP & System Integration

Integration with your existing ERP, accounting, and operational systems, so a new logistics platform connects into how the business already runs rather than becoming another disconnected system to reconcile manually.

Our 5-Step Logistics Delivery Lifecycle

Discovery & Operations Mapping

We map how your logistics operation actually runs today, fleet size, warehouse layout, existing systems, before recommending what to build or integrate.

Design

We design for both the operations team managing the system and the drivers or warehouse staff using it day to day, since a logistics platform only works if the people on the ground actually use it.

Development & Integration

Development includes integration with existing ERP or accounting systems, scoped early since this is usually central to how the platform fits into daily operations.

Testing & Launch

We test under real operational conditions, peak volume periods, multiple concurrent drivers or warehouse staff, before launch, since logistics systems fail at exactly the moments they're needed most.

Post-Launch Support

We stay involved after launch for updates and support as your fleet, warehouse, or delivery volume scales.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a TMS and a WMS?

A Transport Management System handles planning, dispatch, and tracking of freight movement between locations. A Warehouse Management System handles inventory and operations inside a single warehouse, stock levels, picking, packing. Many logistics businesses need both, connected to each other.
