The Story So Far

From Spreadsheet Chaos to Seamless Automation

Navigating the high seas of global trade, our client sought a compass—a custom shipping ERP—to streamline complex logistics, automate rate comparisons, and support diverse transport modes, including air, sea, rail, and drayage.

The Challenge

A Data Tsunami That Needed Taming

Deciphering the cryptic languages of various shipping line APIs to generate dynamic, accurate quotes was akin to translating ancient maritime maps. The voyage required extensive data transformation and cleansing to ensure smooth sailing.

The Breakthrough

Turning Raw Data Into Instant Quotes

We embarked on a detailed discovery mission, charting patterns in transportation data. Anchoring our solution in Python, we built a data transformation layer capable of cleaning millions of records dynamically, delivering precise results based on selected regions, container sizes, and weights.

Ben Schwengel
International Operations Director/InterlogUSA
After some unsatisfactory attempts by other software and web development firms, Interlog USA met for a consultation with BlackDot and was quickly assured that they understood our product and intentions. Their first software product was completed on schedule and its success encouraged us to undertake larger, more complex projects. I recommend BlackDot to any company that needs a partner in revitalizing their existing software or website with something modern, user-friendly, and highly efficient.
