If you’re thinking about investing your money besides, logistics often comes first. In Europe alone, the demand for new logistics IT solutions has shown a steady increase between 2018 and 2022, in which the UK, Germany, and France took the lead. But what ensures the industry development in leaps and bounds is automation. In 2018, the world logistics automation market was listed at $39bn, and it’s expected to reach over $121bn by 2027. One of our logistics clients was aware of this market hype and asked us to build a calculator that brings automation into action, saying the price of car transportation from one place to another. 

Even shifted online, a lot of logistics operations are still done manually, and our client was not an exception. But only for a while. Patternica built the solution allowing clients to see the transportation cost at once instead of relying on the manual calculation. Sounds good?

Patternica assisted the logistics company to move to the next stage — automating processes that were previously done manually. For this aim, we implemented the order system and the admin panel. We believe that the initial product was useful as the client has returned to us again to develop a new version of logistical solution.

The whole process of implementation took us less than 3 months, which we spent on the following tasks:

• Discovery stage — about 1 week
• Development stage — 2 months
• Testing and fixing stages — 2 weeks

The project was realized with the help of a Project Manager and 2 Developers — React (front-end) and Java (back-end) correspondingly.

After this project accomplishment, we realized that logistics is the gold mine for both investment and development. Now we know how to build the transportation calculator in less than 3 months and adjust it to such factors as car’s model, distance, etc. Do you need a similar solution to compete in the market?
