Project Summary
FlexMade developed a custom, web-based logistics and transportation system (using Docker containers) for a software company to package and resell. The platform provides driver tracking, trip calculations, and an integrated invoice process to replace an older manual system. The vendor was highly responsive—resolving issues rapidly via Slack/GitHub—though they sometimes implemented features ahead of schedule without prior coordination.
Key Challenges
- Develop and package a web system for resale as a joint venture
- Create a logistics platform that supports package drop-offs, stops, and UPS/FedEx-like calculations
- Replace a costly, manual invoice process used by the end client
Project Deliverables
- Web-based logistics and transportation system
- Driver overview dashboard showing location, trip number, and trip price
- Invoice generation and dispatch integration
- Mobile-friendly web interface
Project Solution
FlexMade developed a web-based logistics and transportation system using Docker containerization. They implemented routing and calculation logic to support package drop-offs and stops, and built an overview dashboard for roughly 25 drivers handling about 200 daily assignments. The system includes invoice generation that dispatch sends to end customers. The platform is mobile-friendly (web-based) and was delivered through iterative sprints with daily communication via Slack, GitHub, and occasional Skype; the vendor worked with a small team (about 4–5 people at peak).
Project Outcome
- Replaced an outdated 2003 system and persuaded the client to adopt a modern solution
- Reduced manual invoicing and modernized calculations and maps to potentially increase driver earnings and trip volume
- High responsiveness with 15–30 minute replies and issue resolution within one to two hours
- Successful delivery of an initial version and ongoing development of two additional systems

Quality of Deliverables
“With a knowledgeable, responsive staff, they quickly resolved any issues to complete the web system. They would sometimes do additional work without discussing their plans, which proved beneficial to the end product, but complicated project management. They are worth their value.”
