Transport Software NZ: Portals & Driver Apps

Overview

Applicable has built transport software for New Zealand operators since 2012: carriers' portals integrated with a transport management system, drivers' smartphone apps that work offline, HPMV weight calculators, permit planning portals and the accounts processes behind carrier payments and customer invoicing. It is one of the sectors Applicable has worked in longest.

Key takeaways

  • Applicable has built transport software for New Zealand operators since 2012.
  • For transport operators between 2012 and 2017, Applicable built a carriers' portal integrated with the transport management database, a drivers' smartphone app, accounts payable for carrier payments and accounts receivable with Xero invoice generation.
  • For a bulk haulage operator, Applicable built an offline HPMV weight calculator and driver workflow app, so a driver can check a load against the permit before leaving the yard, plus an HPMV permit planning portal.
  • Applicable has built transport software since 2012, from carrier portals to driver apps that keep working without a signal.
  • Transport builds are fixed-scope, work offline and are owned by the client.

Carriers' portals and drivers' apps that integrate with an existing transport management system, HPMV weight calculators and permit planning portals, offline job and load workflow apps, and the accounts payable and receivable processes around carrier payments and customer invoicing, including Xero integration.

Usually, yes. Applicable's first transport project was a carriers' portal integrated directly with a TMS's Microsoft SQL database, and much of the work since has been building the portal, app or accounts piece a TMS lacks and feeding data back to it.

Yes. The HPMV and workflow apps Applicable built for a bulk haulage operator move between offline and online, storing data on the device and sending and receiving when a connection is available.

It is a custom application, quoted on a fixed scope after a scoping conversation, from NZ$6,999. A single-purpose tool such as an HPMV calculator sits near that starting point; a full portal with accounts integration costs more, because there is more to build. You get an early ballpark at the first call.
