Transport Software NZ: Portals & Driver Apps

Overview

Applicable has built transport software for New Zealand operators since 2012: carriers' portals integrated with a transport management system, drivers' smartphone apps that work offline, HPMV weight calculators, permit planning portals and the accounts processes behind carrier payments and customer invoicing. Transport is the sector in which Applicable has the most experience.

Carriers' portals and drivers' apps that integrate with an existing transport management system, HPMV weight calculators and permit planning portals, offline job and load workflow apps, and the accounts payable and receivable processes around carrier payments and customer invoicing, including Xero integration.

Usually, yes. Applicable's first transport project was a carriers' portal integrated directly with a TMS's Microsoft SQL database, and much of the work since has been building the portal, app or accounts piece a TMS lacks and feeding data back to it.

Yes. The HPMV and workflow apps Applicable built for a bulk haulage operator move between offline and online, storing data on the device and sending and receiving when a connection is available.

It is a custom application, quoted on a fixed scope after a scoping conversation, within Applicable's published bracket of up to around NZ$250,000. A single-purpose tool such as an HPMV calculator sits well below that; a full portal with accounts integration sits higher. You get a ballpark at the first call.
