Couriers Software - Development Case Study

Online Courier SoftwareOur customer needed a way fully manage his courier business. He needed the application to run on line to enable his customers to be able to directly enter their own consignments, and of course, this meant the application had to offer robust and appropriate levels of security for each area of the application.

We reduced consignment entry to less than 30 seconds per consignment. We automated the complex pricing structure to allow for calculation consignment price including:

  • Separate price charts for every customer and for internal consignment entries
  • Pricing by delivery location using a regional methodology

We created an application full of features, while being logical and easy to use. The application is also versatile and can rapidly be developed to meet the specific needs of any couriers or delivery business.
