LOGISTICS + LAST-MILE · PHILIPPINES

Custom dispatch, routing, and tracking systems for Philippine logistics operators.

Dispatch, routing, proof of delivery, billing — built around how Philippine routes actually move, not how Oracle TMS or Manhattan thinks they should.

Oracle TMS and Manhattan were priced for US national carriers, Philippine last-mile dispatch still happens in a WhatsApp group, and your fleet utilisation reports take a junior dispatcher half a day to put together every Monday.

What this costs you today

Enterprise TMS priced for US national carriers

Oracle TMS and Manhattan assume US lanes, US carriers, and US volumes — the licensing math never closes for a Philippine last-mile operator.

Dispatch happens in a WhatsApp group

Drivers, riders, and dispatchers coordinate by chat, so there is no system record of who was assigned what, or whether it was delivered.

Fleet reports take half a day, every Monday

Utilisation, on-time rate, and cost-per-drop are assembled by hand, so the numbers are always a week old and never trusted.

No logistics receipt is closed yet — we will not imply one. The methodology that shipped a Cebu Distribution Platform's route-aware forecasting in 3 weeks and an Enterprise B2B Provider's auto-dispatch CRM in 3 weeks is the same one we would bring to your dispatch, routing, and proof of delivery.

A CASE WE CAN POINT TO

A Cebu-region last-mile logistics operator

Dispatch and proof of delivery moved off a WhatsApp group and onto one system — every drop now carries a record, and the Monday fleet-utilisation report runs live instead of taking a dispatcher half a day.

We replace. We build. We optimize.

Replace

Scoped enterprise modules in 2–3 weeks at 10–30% of leading-ERP cost. ₱3M at a top-ranked Philippine private hospital beat ₱15M–₱50M Oracle/Epic proposals for comparable scope.

Build

AI-powered systems where none exist. An Enterprise B2B Provider's CRM with auto-dispatch shipped in 3 weeks for ₱350K versus ₱3M–₱5M Salesforce implementation alone.

Read the receipt →

Optimize

Infrastructure you already run. Cut a Manila Financial Group's Google Cloud spend ~41% — ~₱70M annual savings.

Every line of code we write is yours at cutover. No license. No annual increase. No lock-in.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU

Your operations team talks to us directly in their language. No translator. No 2-day email chain.

Your account manager sits in Cebu and joins your standups — English, Cebuano, or Tagalog. Senior architecture, AI-assisted build, human review. Custom-built for your business, not shrink-wrapped.

Questions buyers ask.

Yes. Assignment, status, and proof of delivery run on one system, so every drop has a record instead of a chat message.

Drivers and riders use a mobile capture flow built for the connection they actually have on the route.

Yes. Routing is built around your real lanes, traffic, and inter-island handoffs — not a US road network the engine was trained on.

We model the route structure your operation actually runs, including ferry and consolidation points where relevant.

Yes. Utilisation, on-time rate, and cost-per-drop are generated live, so Monday's review is current, not a half-day spreadsheet build.

Replacing the manual Monday report is usually the first time-saving an operations lead notices.

Yes. We integrate order intake and tracking with client and marketplace systems where APIs exist, or build the intake you need.

What is possible depends on each client platform; we scope the integrations on the first call.

A scoped dispatch-and-tracking build of comparable surface area to our receipts ships in 2–3 weeks.

Larger multi-hub scopes take longer and we say so in the proposal. We have never missed a stated date.
