Overview

Streamline Logistics was running their operations across six different tools — spreadsheets, email threads, a legacy database, and three separate SaaS platforms that didn't talk to each other. We built them a single, custom CRM that brought everything under one roof.

The challenge

Six tools, zero visibility

The ops team was spending two hours every morning just getting a picture of where jobs were at. Customer details lived in one system, job tracking in another, invoicing in a third. Nothing synced. Nothing was real-time.

When a driver called in sick or a delivery window changed, the ripple effect took hours to manually propagate across all systems. Mistakes were common. Clients were noticing.

The outcome

One platform, full control

The team now starts each day with a single dashboard showing every active job, its status, assigned driver, and any exceptions. Changes propagate instantly. The morning sync meeting went from 45 minutes to 10.

Client-facing status updates are automated. Invoice generation that used to take a full day now happens in one click. The ops team got their time back — and their clients got a better experience.

Our approach

How we built it

01 — Discovery

Mapping the mess

We spent two weeks embedded with the ops team — watching how they actually worked, not how they said they worked. We mapped every data flow, every workaround, every "yeah we just email that one" process. That map became the blueprint.

02 — Build

Iterative, not waterfall

We shipped a working prototype in three weeks and put it in front of real users. Feedback loops were tight — weekly demos, daily Slack. We built the core job-tracking module first, then layered on invoicing, client portal, and reporting.

03 — Migrate & Launch

Zero downtime cutover

We ran the old and new systems in parallel for two weeks, migrating data in stages. On launch day the team switched over with zero downtime and no lost records. We stayed on for a month of post-launch support.

Key features

What we delivered

Real-time Job Dashboard

Live view of every active job with status, driver assignment, and exception flags. Filterable by client, region, and urgency.

Automated Invoicing

Invoices generated directly from completed job data — no re-keying. Integrated with Xero for seamless accounting.

Client Status Portal

Branded self-service portal for clients to track deliveries, view history, and download PODs without calling the office.

API Integrations

Connected to their existing accounting (Xero), route optimisation, and SMS notification systems via REST APIs.

Role-based Access

Drivers, dispatchers, managers, and clients each see exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less.

Reporting & Analytics

Weekly and monthly reports auto-generated. On-time delivery rates, revenue per client, driver utilisation — all in one place.

Client feedback

"We went from spending half the morning just figuring out what was going on — to having everything in front of us before we've finished our coffee. It's changed how we operate."
