Background

Problem

Our client was a forwarding company, handling a huge database of carriers and transportation services. The problem that the company encountered, was the increasing amount of paperwork, that had to be done in order to fully manage the shipping procedures. With the number of monthly transport operations, handling the database on paper wasn’t the most optimized and quick way to do that. Not only it was taking a lot of time but it also was impossible to be fully monitored and controlled.

Process

The idea was to create software for shipping process control that would accelerate the company document management and provide workflow optimization.

The company wanted to build a system to store all shipments details in one place, including transporters’ data and shipping information (transporter name, date of the shipment, location, transport route, and contact details). It would greatly increase the organization within the company and make it possible to track orders.

Thanks to the continuous communication with the client we got a full insight into the specifics of the work of the forwarder. The company drew our attention to the most important product functionalities, thanks to which their work would be much easier and faster. Our team carefully listened to all the requirements and needs. We also suggested some features that would make the company document management even more convenient.

Solution

Using all the information gathered during daily meetings and calls we created Cargologic - a system for shipping database management, based on Python and Django technology.
