Adexin — Custom Software Development Company for Logistics Industry

A custom software development company specializes in creating custom software solutions specifically designed for a certain business. This means that the client gets only the needed functionality without having to pay for features they don’t need. Custom software development companies create such software from scratch after learning the needs and issues the business faces.

Basically, a software developing company designs and implements digital solutions that its clients can use for business development and optimization. Such solutions include creating mobile apps and services, desktop and web applications, and custom software development.
In order to implement these solutions, they utilize different programming languages like Javascript, Typescript, Python, etc, as well as frameworks and machine learning.

A software developer is a specialist that’s part of the development team in a custom software development firm. The development team works on projects like desktop and web applications, mobile apps, and software solutions for business. They design, develop, test, and maintain the developed products to ensure their stability and efficient work.

The cost of software development in logistics, transportation, and supply chain can vary greatly. It depends on business needs and a specific project scaling. That’s why its price can vary from a few thousand dollars for a small project to several million dollars for large, corporation-level software solutions.
It's important to note that the development process in such industries is a long-term investment that allows businesses to save a lot of money and resources through process optimization and automation of routine tasks. It's important to work with an experienced software development firm to ensure that designed solutions will stay stable for a long period.

As logistics is an industry that leaves no room for error, every solution we design should be foolproof. That’s why controlling the quality of our software development is a critical task for us. We implement quality control throughout the entire software development lifecycle — from planning and analysis to deployment and ongoing maintenance and support. When developing software solutions we go through the following stages:

1. Defining clear requirements for the project. We ensure to define the requirements and goals of the software project at the outset, making sure they are communicated to the development team and understood by every team member.


2. Using the right development methodology. Choosing and adopting a development methodology such as Agile or Kanban ensures that the development process is structured and every employee knows their responsibilities precisely.


3. Testing at every stage. We believe testing should be conducted at each stage of the development process. This helps identify and address defects and bugs before they affect the overall quality of the software solution.


4. Using code reviews. Such reviews are an effective way to identify the issues in the software code and fix them promptly before releasing the feature.


5. Implementing quality assurance processes. Quality assurance processes ensure that the developed software meets the required quality standards, including performance, security, and usability.


6. Providing ongoing maintenance and support. Even after release, we continue maintenance and support services to ensure that the software functions effectively and that any issues or bugs are addressed promptly.

We use a broad set of technologies to satisfy our clients and provide them with a one-stop software development process. Our team of engineers and software developers is skilled and highly experienced in the following technologies:

1. Location-based technologies for logistics and transportation. We use a set of tools to help us ensure the real-time visibility of all cargo and vehicles. Such tools include OpenStreet Map, OpenLayers, Google Maps, Navigine, Mapbox, etc.


2. Back-end development technologies. Our software development team utilizes the most advanced and in-demand programming languages and development frameworks like Node.js, Typescript, Javascript, Express, NestJS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and others. The available range will meet all of the requirements for any software development.


3. Front-end services. If the back end deals with the server side of the software, the front end makes sure all the user interfaces are intuitive and user-friendly, which is especially important in such major industries as logistics. Within front-end development, we use React, Vue, Angular, Javascript, and Typescript. A significant part of our software development team is full-stack software developers, meaning they work both with the back end and front end to ensure a comprehensive approach to each client.


4. Mobile development technologies. Mobile app development is the answer to numerous business challenges. We use a mobile-first approach for a part of our projects, ensuring all clients have a fast and convenient tool always at hand. We offer both Android and iOS development and use technologies like Flutter, React Native, Typescript, Javascript, Swift, and Kotlin.


5. Cloud technologies. A majority of our projects utilize cloud technologies as they are super scalable, reliable, and secure. Within this direction, we utilize tools like Terraform, Docker, AWS, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, RDS, EC2, CloudFront, Lambda, etc.

We also provide consultations on the application of these and other technologies for the benefit of our clients.
