Dispatch runs on phone calls and spreadsheets
Load assignments live in a workbook, drivers call in status, and one absence takes the whole picture with it. We build dispatch tooling that shows the fleet as it is right now.

Logistics software development for supply chains that run on live data
Webisoft builds logistics and supply chain software that shows the operation as it is right now: fleet management, warehouse management, transportation management, shipment tracking, and route optimization.
Our senior Montreal engineers connect the messy parts, carriers, EDI, telematics, scanners, and legacy systems, into one operational picture your dispatchers and customers can act on.

When to bring us in
Signs your logistics operation needs custom software
Logistics runs on information as much as on trucks and shelves, and when the information lags the freight, margin leaks out at every handoff. The signals are consistent across carriers, warehouses, and shippers. Here are the situations where an engagement with us pays for itself:
Customers ask where their shipment is
Every status request becomes a chain of calls and emails across carriers and systems. We build tracking and visibility that answers the question before it is asked.
Warehouse reality never matches the system
Locations are wrong, counts drift, and pickers spend their shift searching. We build WMS workflows with scanning at every movement, so the system and the shelf agree.
Carrier and EDI integrations pile up
Every new partner brings another EDI spec or API, wired in as a one-off until the stack is unmaintainable. We build an integration layer that makes the next partner routine.
Routes are planned by habit, not data
The routes run the way they always have, while fuel, hours, and service windows say they should not. We build route planning that reflects the constraints your operation actually has.
The TMS or WMS you bought fits someone else's operation
The packaged system assumes workflows that are not yours, and the workarounds cost more than the license. We build or extend systems around your operation, the way our digital transformation work modernizes without stopping the business.
What we build
Fleet, WMS, TMS, and shipment tracking: logistics software development by Webisoft
We build supply chain software that connects the messy parts, carriers, EDI, telematics, scanners, and legacy systems, into one operational picture your dispatchers and customers can act on. Every build is scoped around your network, your partners, and your data.
/001
Fleet management systems
Vehicles, drivers, maintenance, and compliance in one system, with telematics integration turning GPS and engine data into operational decisions.
/002
Warehouse management systems
Receiving, putaway, picking, and packing workflows driven by scanners, so inventory accuracy is a property of the process instead of a monthly project.
/003
Transportation management systems
Load planning, dispatch, carrier selection, and freight billing built around how your network actually moves, from quote to proof of delivery.
/004
Shipment tracking and visibility
Live status across carriers and legs, surfaced to your team and your customers, so exceptions get handled before they become complaints.
/005
Route optimization
Planning tools that account for the constraints your operation actually has: time windows, capacities, driver hours, and the customers who unload slowly.
/006
Carrier, EDI, and API integrations
Connections to partners, brokers, marketplaces, and legacy systems through one integration layer, so onboarding the next partner is configuration, not a project.
The Webisoft advantage
What our logistics software engagements include
(5)- 1
Real-time architecture
Event-driven design keeps status, location, and inventory current as things happen, because logistics decisions made on stale data are guesses with confidence.
- 2
Integration with carriers and hardware
EDI, carrier APIs, telematics units, scanners, and scales all get first-class treatment, since the system is only as good as the signals feeding it.
- 3
Operational workflows first
Screens are designed for a dispatcher juggling exceptions and a picker wearing gloves, not for a demo. Software the floor routes around is a cost, not an asset.
- 4
Written, executable deliverables
Data models, integration maps, and runbooks are documented so your team owns the system and any future engineers can extend it without archaeology.
- 5
Rollouts that keep freight moving
Cutovers run in parallel with existing processes until the numbers reconcile, because shipments do not pause for software projects and neither do your customers.
Our process
How a logistics software project runs
/001
Scoping in the warehouse and on the road
1We map how orders, freight, and information actually move, ride along with the workflows, and identify where the current systems lose the plot. The gaps define the scope.
/002
Architecture and integration design
2Data model, event flows, and the integration plan for carriers, EDI partners, and hardware are written down with trade-offs stated, and reviewed before the build.
/003
Incremental delivery
3The first release lands where the pain is worst, tracking, dispatch, or a single warehouse flow, and proves itself on live freight before the system grows.
/004
Parallel running and training
4The new system runs alongside the old process while dispatchers, drivers, and warehouse staff train on real work, and nothing is switched off until the numbers agree.
/005
Go-live and support
5Cutover is phased with rollback plans in place, and support continues after go-live: monitoring, integration upkeep, and the adjustments only real volume reveals.
Why Webisoft
Why choose Webisoft for logistics software development?
- 01
Builders for messy operational reality
Logistics data is late, duplicated, and contradictory, and the software has to be correct anyway. We engineer for the exceptions, because in this industry the exceptions are the job.
- 02
Senior people on your problem
The engineers who scope your engagement are the engineers who do the work. No bait and switch between the pitch team and the delivery team.
- 03
North American, in your timezone
We work from Montreal, in your business hours, under Canadian contract and privacy law. When a carrier feed breaks at dispatch time, the people who built it are reachable.
- 04
Integration depth
EDI standards, carrier APIs, telematics platforms, and warehouse hardware each have their own quirks. We verify partner specs and access early, before they can surprise the schedule.
- 05
Honest about build vs buy
Packaged TMS and WMS products fit many operations well, and we say so when yours is one of them. Custom logistics software has to earn its cost, and we show the comparison.
- 06
Leadership on tap afterwards
When the project surfaces a need for ongoing technical leadership, our fractional CTO service continues the work with the same people and full context.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
(6)- Typical scope covers fleet management, warehouse management systems, transportation management systems, shipment tracking and visibility, route optimization, and the carrier, EDI, and telematics integrations that feed them. In practice the integration layer is usually the largest share of the work, because a logistics system is only as good as the data flowing into it.
- A WMS manages what happens inside the four walls: receiving, putaway, picking, packing, and inventory accuracy. A TMS manages movement between locations: load planning, carrier selection, dispatch, tracking, and freight billing. Operations that both store and move goods often need the two working from shared data, which is where integration or a combined custom build comes in.
- Yes, and it usually must. Larger trading partners commonly require EDI transactions for orders, shipment notices, and invoices, while modern carriers and platforms expose APIs. A well-designed integration layer speaks both, normalizes partner formats into one internal model, and makes onboarding the next partner a matter of configuration rather than custom code.
- It treats routing as a constraint problem: stops, time windows, vehicle capacities, driver hours, and costs go in, and the software searches for plans that satisfy the constraints at lower total cost than manual planning finds. The practical value depends on data quality, accurate service times and constraints matter more than the algorithm, so honest implementations start by capturing how the operation really behaves.
- Buy when your processes match how the packaged product works, because mature systems amortize decades of edge cases. Build when your workflows are the competitive advantage, when integrations are unusual, or when per-transaction fees and forced workarounds cost more over years than owning software would. Many operations land on a hybrid: a packaged core extended by custom tooling where it matters.
- A focused first release, such as shipment visibility or a single warehouse flow, typically ships in months, with the wider system phased in afterwards. Partner integration timelines, especially EDI onboarding with large trading partners, often drive the schedule more than development does. A scoping phase produces a concrete estimate for the specific network and partners involved.
