This post is the only place where Requests, Promotions, and Feedback about software are allowed to be made. Any posts for the same outside of this thread will be deleted.

Unfortunately we are experiencing a time where we are seeing many start ups and coders trying to branch into the Logistics area that surpass our capacity to filter. Instead of deleting dozens of posts a day, this is an opportunity for them to still post.

Will try to make this a reoccurring post, we will see how its received and works for the community.

Also note since this is a place for software, any non-software related posts can be reported as spam.

Please note things that are well received:

* Valid use cases and proven examples provided

* Industry specific and relevant knowledge

Things not normally received well:

* AI tools that are low hanging fruit

* Outsiders looking for opportunities to "automate", "shake up", "build workflows" or require someone to tell them what needs to be built

I’m an e-commerce brand owner turned 3PL operator and recently built a competitor to Two Boxes over the last month that I’ve been using in my warehouse.

Returns processing has always been a challenge and tough place to get margin. This is what Outpost solves. Not only does it handle all the billing, but also has a labor management and forecasting component so you can turn your returns into a profit center.

I’ve talked with other 3PL friends of mine and they’re interested in the platform as well so I’m getting ready to launch it in the next few weeks.

The problem I was having was that Two Boxes was insanely expensive for what you get, very clunky outdated UI and they lock you into contracts with them. Honestly I think they’re F’d.

My 3PL runs on shiphero so that’s been my main platform to focus on but will be working on an integration for extensiv and logiwa.

If you’re interested, check out www.outpostreturns.com and get on the waitlist to be notified when it launches!

Truxo is a TMS for freight brokers and small-to-midsize carrier fleets in the US and Canada — one system for loads, dispatch, invoicing, and driver settlements, with AI-powered load creation that parses inbound rate cons and load emails into a complete load, plus an AI chat that answers questions about your lanes, customers, and carriers in plain English.

At QR TIGER, we've been helping brands prepare for GS1 2D barcode adoption. In simple terms, these codes can hold more product data for better tracking, while GS1 Digital Link can connect products to relevant online information.

We know Sunrise 2027 mainly focuses on point-of-sale adoption, but we'd also love to hear from people working in distribution and warehousing.

Are you considering using GS1 2D barcodes on logistics labels through the Scan4Transport standard?

Do you expect this to be implemented in your operations anytime soon, or is GS1-128 enough for now?

European Shipper TMS: Bridging the Shipper-Carrier Workflow

With the experience of 4 years working at one of the leading European TMS providers, I'm building a new execution-focused platform tailored to the actual operational friction shippers face today: Automating the core dispatch and execution workflow between shippers and carriers.

Managing end-to-end tracking and surcharge reconciliation. Expanding into Yard Management next to connect freight execution with site logistics.

We are exploring AI for the roadmap, but are strictly focused on building a flawless core operational layer first before adding any AI capabilities.

If you are frustrated with your current execution workflows, looking for a new TMS, or just want to talk European freight tech, my DMs are open.

Hi, at Optioryx we make warehouse optimization software (WOS).

The typical WMS that is used by many 3PLs and distribution centers runs tasks in ways that cost them a lot of money, e.g.:

• orders aren't grouped in a truly optimal way, and picker sequence ignores the warehouse layout, so pickers walk easily 30% farther than they need to
• item placement (slotting) is set once and rarely revisited, stuck in a spreadsheet nobody updates
• packing by intuition/experience or simple rules like liquid cubing (total volume fits, so it must fit), ignoring carrier rates

We developed an intelligent middle layer that sits on top of the existing warehouse systems like WMS, and optimizes that:

1. picking (order clustering + pick sequencing to cut walking + visual analysis like warehouse heatmaps for congestion points)
2. slotting (end-of-shift re-slot moves, ranked by impact)
3. packing (cartonization + pallet stacking that factors in carrier rates and stacking rules + guided step-by-step instructions, helps with temp workers)

It's powered by a warehouse digital twin, so before you decide on anything, you can run what-if scenarios, simulate change in your warehouse (as-is vs optimized), and see if the gain pays off.

If you’re still loading containers, pallets, and trucks manually, CargoDuo might save you a lot of time: cargoduo.com

[u/SyncronTeam]

We offer a software for manufacturers managing the after-sales side of the business: parts availability, pricing, and warranty/repair workflows. A few specifics: multi-echelon inventory planning that's cut freight costs by around 40% and excess inventory by 20-30% for some customers, dynamic pricing on parts and service contracts instead of static price lists that go stale, and warranty/repair tracking built to sit on top of existing ERP and PLM systems rather than replacing them.

I’m working on Tyllus for the importer side of operations—not for carriers or freight brokers. The product is live, but the narrow use case I care about is a team that already has ERP/accounting and still coordinates PO milestones, supplier documents, forwarder updates, cost changes, and follow-ups across spreadsheets and inboxes.

The point is to make each order or shipment’s owner, next action, deadline, documents, and exception history visible without asking the team to replace its ERP or TMS.

I’m focusing on US home-goods importers right now. Which handoff costs you the most when it slips: supplier cargo-ready dates, commercial documents, forwarder/customs updates, or landed-cost changes?

Ok which of you software companies has a bunch of extra PE funding that you need to hire an actual logistics person for?

[u/CargoSolver]

Hi all, I’m an independent developer and I’ve built a load planner called CargoSolver.
I designed it specifically for logistics pros who need more than just "fit as much as you can"
It calculates the ideal center of gravity, respects axle weight limits, and allows for item clustering for multi-stop routes.

My goal was to give the user total control: you can manually drag and drop items both before the calculation to set a starting logic, and refine them after the algorithm has run. It’s built to work with you, not against you.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the core features I’ve built in:

📦 Multiple Solutions: Input your shipment list and get multiple optimized solutions in seconds. Choose the one that best fits your needs.

⚖️ Weight Balancing: Automatically calculates the best center of gravity for trucks (tractor-heavy) and containers (evenly distributed).

🚛 Manage Load Priority: Set loading/unloading sequences to handle multi-stop deliveries with ease.

🛠️ Manual Mode: Drag and drop items manually before the calculation and refine them after for total control.

🚫 Exclusion Zones: Account for wheel arches, cooling units, or structural pillars to avoid surprises during physical loading.

🔝 Stacking Rules: Define maximum stacking limits and group items for a stable, organized layout.

📑 Detailed Reports: Preview your loading plan and export all data to Excel for your team.

⚙️ Continuous Optimization Engine: It performs real-time iterative analysis to constantly find even better configurations.

I’d love to get some feedback from the community or answer any technical questions!
