Project overview

The platform is among the number of software solutions for the logistics industry undertaken by Artelogic. It is a moving company software implemented as a SaaS model that was developed in order to enable our client to deliver a tool for movers, agents, and van lines and to facilitate the relationships between them within an end-to-end solution.

It’s a cloud-based service for managing household moves including transportation, loading, unloading, packing, and unpacking. The software is licensed by brokers on a subscription basis. The features implemented for our client cover all business operations of the logistics companies.

Challenge

Like many businesses with integrated full-cycle services, the logistics field needs to provide reactive and scheduled facilities management services to its clients. The nature of their business demands a reliable, effective, and fast system that can manage their processes. The challenge for our team was to develop a moving company software as an integrated system, which could cover all these needs and join all business participants with one end-to-end platform in an elegant seamless way.

The system, which joins all business participants with one end-to-end platform in a seamless way.

Solution

Following a number of strategic analysis sessions, we were able to highlight the key areas of the business. As a result, we have developed a wireframe design and specification, which our proposed solution reflects.
