Logistics Software in Durham
Transport and distribution systems for Durham operators — planning, tracking, proof of delivery. The compliance layer is heavier than in most sectors: drivers' hours, tachograph records and operator licence obligations are enforced, and a system that ignores them creates exposure alongside the efficiency it delivers.
Why this comes up
The problem
Routes are planned on a whiteboard, drivers are contacted by phone, and proof of delivery is a signed sheet that comes back to the office days later.
What you get
What we deliver
- Route planning against real constraints — vehicle type, access, delivery windows
- Driver app with job list, navigation handoff and electronic proof of delivery
- Live tracking, so customer service can answer without phoning the driver
- Drivers' hours visibility, since planning that breaches them is a compliance failure
- Vehicle records with MOT, service and inspection dates tracked
- Cost per drop measured, which is what tells you whether a route earns its place

Logistics Software in Durham — common questions
- Does route optimisation actually save money?
- Yes, where routes are currently planned by hand and the constraints are real — vehicle restrictions, delivery windows, access. The saving comes from fewer miles and better drop density, and it is measurable if you record cost per drop before and after.
- How do drivers' hours affect planning?
- They constrain it absolutely. A plan that cannot be completed legally will either be breached or abandoned, and both are worse than a realistic plan. The system should treat hours as a hard constraint rather than something the driver manages afterwards.
- Is electronic proof of delivery worth it?
- Substantially — it removes the delay and the disputes that come from paper returning days later, and photographs at the point of delivery settle damage claims that would otherwise be argued. It also speeds invoicing, which affects cash flow directly.
- What about vehicle compliance records?
- Operator licensing requires maintenance and inspection records to be kept and available, and enforcement takes them seriously. Tracking due dates in the same system as the fleet is straightforward and avoids the situation where a vehicle runs overdue unnoticed.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
