Logistics Software Development
Logistics software development covers digital solutions for freight forwarders, courier companies, warehouse operators, 3PL providers, and supply chain managers across the United Kingdom. The sector requires transport management systems, warehouse management platforms, route optimisation engines, and customs declaration tools that handle the complexity of post-Brexit border processes, driver hours regulations, and the UK's transition to zero-emission freight.

Last-Mile Share of Total Logistics Cost
Post-Brexit customs requirements including customs declarations, safety and security declarations, Rules of Origin certification, and border inspections have added an estimated 7 billion GBP in annual costs to UK-EU trade logistics
Driver hours regulations under EU Retained Law require accurate digital tachograph data management, working time directive compliance, and infringement reporting that manual processes cannot reliably deliver
Warehouse operations handling thousands of SKUs and same-day or next-day delivery commitments need sub-second inventory accuracy that paper-based or spreadsheet systems cannot provide
Last-mile delivery costs represent 40 to 50 percent of total logistics costs, and rising customer expectations for precise delivery windows and real-time tracking compound the challenge
The UK government's Transport Decarbonisation Plan requires logistics operators to plan for zero-emission fleet transitions, track Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions, and report on sustainability progress
Multi-modal logistics coordination across road, rail, sea, and air requires systems that can plan and track shipments across different carriers, modes, and border crossings
Elsio builds customs declaration and border management systems that automate CDS submissions, generate safety and security declarations, manage Rules of Origin calculations, and handle GVMS port of arrival notifications
Digital tachograph management platforms that download, analyse, and store driver card and vehicle unit data, monitor driving hours in real time, flag infringement risks, and generate DVSA compliance reports
Warehouse management systems with barcode and RFID-based inventory tracking, pick-path optimisation, wave planning, cross-docking workflows, and real-time stock accuracy dashboards
AI-powered route optimisation engines that calculate the most efficient multi-stop delivery routes considering time windows, vehicle capacity, traffic patterns, driver hours limits, and customer priority levels
Carbon emissions tracking and reporting dashboards that calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 logistics emissions by shipment, route, and customer, supporting SECR reporting and customer sustainability requirements
Multi-modal shipment management platforms that plan, book, and track freight movements across road, rail, sea, and air with unified milestone tracking, document management, and exception handling
An automated customs declaration system that generates import and export declarations for HMRC's Customs Declaration Service, calculates duties and tariffs, manages preferential origin claims, and handles GVMS pre-lodgement requirements for goods moving between Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and the EU.
A machine learning-powered route planning system that optimises daily delivery schedules across a fleet of vehicles, considering real-time traffic, delivery time windows, vehicle load capacity, and driver working hours. Reduces total miles driven by 15 to 25 percent.
A WMS with mobile-directed workflows for goods receipt, putaway, replenishment, picking, packing, and dispatch. Supports barcode scanning, RFID tracking, batch and serial number management, and integrates with carrier systems for shipping label generation.
A fleet management platform that combines GPS tracking, digital tachograph data analysis, vehicle maintenance scheduling, fuel consumption monitoring, and DVSA compliance reporting in a single dashboard for transport managers.
