Logistics Developers Who Know the Domain
Finding a developer who can write clean code is hard enough. Finding one who also understands NMFC freight classes, EDI 204 load tenders, and why your WMS putaway logic breaks during peak season is a different problem entirely. We have those developers. They have built TMS, WMS, and supply chain platforms — not just web apps with a logistics label.
Why Hire Dedicated Logistics Developers?
Logistics software is not generic CRUD work. A developer building a TMS needs to understand carrier rate structures, accessorial charges, and how EDI X12 transactions flow between shipper and carrier. A WMS developer needs to think in terms of bin locations, pick paths, and RF gun workflows. A supply chain developer must model multi-echelon inventory, lead-time variability, and demand signals. General-purpose developers take 3-6 months just to learn the domain vocabulary. Our logistics developers already speak it fluently.
- Deep experience with EDI X12/EDIFACT standards for logistics transactions
- Hands-on knowledge of carrier APIs — FedEx, UPS, DHL, and LTL carrier integrations
- Understanding of warehouse operations, pick strategies, and inventory data models
- Background in ERP integration with SAP, Oracle, and supply chain planning systems
Skills Our Logistics Developers Bring
Not just coding skills — domain knowledge that saves months of onboarding and prevents costly architectural mistakes.
EDI & Integration Specialists
Developers who have built EDI translation engines, AS2/SFTP pipelines, and carrier API integrations from scratch. They know the difference between an X12 856 ASN and a 214 shipment status — and when each matters.
TMS & Freight Platform Developers
Engineers who have built load boards, rate engines, freight audit systems, and dispatch platforms. They understand carrier procurement, lane bidding, and how to model accessorial charges that vary by carrier and geography.
WMS & Warehouse Systems Engineers
Developers who have built directed putaway algorithms, pick path optimization, and RF gun workflows. They know the difference between wave-based and waveless picking and can design a slotting engine from scratch.
Supply Chain & Demand Planning Developers
Engineers with ML experience applied to demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and supply planning. They work with time-series models, safety stock algorithms, and multi-echelon inventory theory.
Compliance & Regulatory Expertise
Developers who understand FMCSA ELD requirements, customs and trade compliance, hazmat handling rules, FSMA food safety regulations, and C-TPAT security standards in the context of software systems.
Cloud & DevOps for Logistics
Engineers who architect logistics platforms on AWS and Azure with auto-scaling for peak season, real-time event processing for shipment tracking, and disaster recovery that meets supply chain uptime requirements.
How Companies Work with Our Logistics Developers
Different situations call for different team structures. Here is how our engagements typically look.
Augment Your Existing Team
Your team understands the business but needs developers with logistics-specific technical skills. We embed 2-5 developers who integrate with your Jira board, attend your standups, and contribute from week one. Average ramp-up time: 5 business days.
Build a New Logistics Module
You need a TMS, WMS, or supply chain module built from scratch and integrated with your existing platform. We provide a full squad — architect, 2-3 developers, and a QA engineer — who own the module end-to-end.
Modernize Legacy Logistics Systems
Your 15-year-old logistics platform runs on COBOL, AS/400, or a heavily customized early ERP. Our developers handle the migration — extracting business rules from legacy code, rebuilding in modern stacks, and ensuring zero data loss during cutover.
Scale for Peak Season
You need additional developers for 3-6 months to prepare your logistics platform for holiday or seasonal volume. Our developers join, ship features, and hand off cleanly when the engagement ends.
How We Match Logistics Developers to Your Team
We do not send resumes and hope for the best. Our matching process is built to get the right developer on your team fast.
Technical & Domain Requirements Gathering
We document your tech stack, logistics domain requirements, integration footprint (EDI, carrier APIs, ERP connections), and team dynamics. This takes one 60-minute call — not a multi-week discovery process.
Candidate Shortlisting
We match from our pre-vetted pool of logistics developers. Each candidate has passed our domain assessment covering EDI standards, carrier data models, and logistics workflow design. You see 2-3 candidates within 3 business days.
Technical Interview & Domain Assessment
You interview the candidates on your terms. We also provide results from our logistics-specific coding assessment — which includes tasks like building an EDI parser, designing a rate engine data model, or implementing a pick path algorithm.
Onboarding & Integration
Selected developers get access to your codebase, join your communication channels, and receive a briefing on your system architecture. We aim for productive contributions within the first 5 business days.
Ongoing Performance Management
Bi-weekly check-ins with your team lead to ensure the developer is meeting expectations. If a developer is not the right fit, we replace them within one week. No long-term lock-in — scale up or down as your project needs change.
