Industries / Logistics & transportation

When a shipment slips, your systems should help you recover — not slow you down.

Your teams are accountable for deliveries, costs and customer promises. But when dispatch, warehouses, carriers and customer service work across disconnected systems, exceptions become expensive and progress is hard to prove. We help turn critical logistics workflows into connected, governed production solutions.

The operational pressure

Every hand-off adds risk when the next decision is invisible.

A late arrival is rarely just a transport problem. Disconnected information, manual workarounds and unclear ownership turn ordinary exceptions into delays customers notice.

01 / EXCEPTIONS

The disruption nobody owns

When a delivery changes course, teams struggle to see who must act, what has changed and whether the customer has been told.

02 / VISIBILITY

Different teams, different answers

Dispatch, warehouse and customer service work from separate views of the same shipment, creating avoidable calls, rework and uncertainty.

03 / CAPACITY

Volume rises faster than systems adapt

Peak periods, new partners and changing routes expose manual processes that were never designed for the demand now placed on them.

04 / DELIVERY

Improvements stay in the backlog

Operations need a fix today, while development teams inherit complex integration dependencies and must keep business-critical systems running.

Logistics and transportation solutions

Start where a connected workflow can change the outcome.

Choose one operational priority, connect the systems involved and measure the result. These are practical places to begin — not a requirement to replace your transport or warehouse estate.

01

Track, trace & customer updates

Connect status events and exceptions to clearer self-service visibility, notifications and support journeys.

02

Transport planning & dispatch

Bring planning, route changes, hand-offs and operational decisions into coordinated applications.

03

Warehouse & yard workflows

Reduce paper, duplicate entry and waiting points across receiving, movement, picking and release processes.

04

Driver & field mobility

Give mobile teams practical tools for task updates, scanning, proof of delivery and exception capture.

05

Partner & core-system integration

Connect ERP, customer, carrier and operational systems through defined interfaces instead of more silos.

06

AI-assisted exception handling

Assess bounded AI workflows for triage, information extraction and suggested actions — with human approval where needed.

The measure might be time to resolve an exception, visibility of shipment status, manual touches per order or delivery service reliability. Agree the baseline before building.

The technology foundation

Build the connection your operation needs. Keep control of the systems you trust.

The OutSystems Agentic Systems Platform provides a foundation for integrated enterprise applications, workflows and AI-enabled capabilities. ExoSystems powered by Indigo helps assess platform fit, integration, enterprise architecture and delivery — so new logistics capabilities can coexist with existing ERP, transport, warehouse and customer systems.

01

Extend what exists

Put useful experiences and workflows around established core platforms rather than defaulting to replacement.

02

Join the process

Connect people, operational events, data and system actions with clear integration boundaries.

03

Introduce AI responsibly

Evaluate AI assistance and agents only where the task, permissions, oversight and value are defined.

Architecture, security, data access, human oversight and ongoing support are designed into the production route, not left for the last approval.

A practical route to production

Make one operational improvement work — then build on it.

We start with the delivery promise your team needs to keep, not with a platform feature list. Scope the first result narrowly enough to prove and govern.

01 / PRIORITISE

Choose the pressure point

Agree one journey, its owner and the operational number that needs to move.

02 / DESIGN

Map the real hand-offs

Confirm users, data, APIs, exceptions and coexistence with existing systems.

03 / DELIVER

Build with controls in place

Release and test an integrated workflow with clear permissions and support ownership.

04 / IMPROVE

Prove the result

Track adoption and agreed service measures, then sequence the next opportunity.

What should be clear before the first live release?

  • Who owns the operational result and exceptions?
  • Which transport, warehouse and ERP interfaces matter?
  • What happens when data or connectivity fails?
  • How will support, security and value be measured?
