The Story So Far

Charting New Waters

Embarking on this journey, we aimed to develop a custom shipping ERP that could automate the quoting process across multiple transportation methods. The goal was to create a user-friendly platform that not only streamlined operations but also provided accurate and instant quotes, thereby reducing manual intervention and potential errors.

The Challenge

Weathering the Storms

The shipping industry is riddled with complexities, especially when integrating automated APIs from various shipping lines. Understanding and harmonizing these diverse data sources to create dynamic quotes required meticulous data transformation and cleansing. The challenge was akin to navigating through turbulent waters without a clear map.

The Breakthrough

Anchoring the Solution

Through an extensive discovery phase, we identified patterns and correlations within the transportation data. We developed a sophisticated data transformation layer capable of processing millions of records dynamically. This layer ensured that the system could provide accurate results based on selected regions, container sizes, and weights, effectively anchoring the solution in reliability and precision.

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.
