Transforming Logistics: Building a Digitally Enabled 3PL Service from Scratch
Overview
We partnered with a startup aiming to revolutionize the logistics industry by creating the first end-to-end digitally enabled third-party logistics (3PL) service. The comprehensive project involved developing a suite of applications and tools to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and improve user experience for delivery agents, merchants, warehouse managers, and consumers.
Over the course of more than two years, we meticulously crafted each component of the system from the ground up, covering everything from UI/UX design to development, maintenance, and product management. Within six months of launch, the platform processed over 1 million transactions, expanded its operations to 50 cities, and integrated with more than 250 brands.

Problem
The startup faced the challenge of creating a robust and cohesive digital ecosystem for its 3PL service, which required integrating multiple platforms and tools seamlessly. They needed a solution that would allow delivery agents to operate efficiently, merchants to manage their logistics needs, warehouse managers to track inventory, consumers to track their parcels, and administrators to oversee the entire operation. Additionally, the system had to integrate with over 250 brands and support plugins for popular e-commerce platforms like WordPress, Shopify, Magento, and Opencart. Building this comprehensive system from scratch posed significant technical and logistical challenges.
Solution
We developed a comprehensive suite of solutions to revolutionize logistics operations. At the core was a user-friendly Delivery Agent Mobile App, designed to streamline delivery processes and enhance efficiency. For merchants, we created an intuitive web portal that simplifies order management, shipment tracking, and logistics oversight. Our robust Warehouse Management System ensured accurate inventory tracking, efficient stock management, and optimized warehouse operations. Consumers benefit from a comprehensive Parcel Tracking Tool, providing real-time updates on their deliveries, supported by an accessible Consumer Facing Website for easy tracking and customer support.
Administrators have access to a powerful dashboard that allows for seamless monitoring and management of the entire logistics operation. To ensure smooth coordination, we integrated over 250 brands into our system, facilitating seamless operations across various partners. Additionally, we developed e-commerce plugins for platforms such as WordPress, Shopify, Magento, and Opencart, catering to a wide range of e-commerce needs and ensuring compatibility with diverse online retail environments. This holistic approach not only improves efficiency and transparency but also enhances the overall user experience for all stakeholders involved.
