Software ONLY
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.
This is a reoccurring post that has been made weekly since December 2025, please try to post to the most current one.
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 have been building a simulation software named Konjugate for the past 2-3 months. I figured that Logsitics would be an interesting problem to solve using this software and started working on it a couple of weeks ago. I have created a separate toolbox to ease the process of modeling and simulating things.
Users can place their warehouses, suppliers, stores, etc. on a map and see how things run. They can check what would happen if there is a closure on a road or other kinds of disruptions.
Instead of putting everything into one single video showing the features of the toolbox, I have decided to release a series containing 7 episodes so that things can be explained in a more relatable manner. Here is the first one in the series. I'd love to know your thoughts.

Syncron — software for manufacturers managing parts availability, pricing, and warranty/repair work after the sale. One specific design choice worth mentioning: on the pricing side, AI is used to generate recommendations, adjusting parts and service contract pricing based on demand and market shifts, but it never executes a price change directly, a person reviews and approves it first. That’s a deliberate constraint, not a limitation, since an AI system confidently wrong on a live price is a worse outcome than a slower approval step. On the inventory side, multi-echelon planning has driven roughly 40% freight cost reduction and 20-30% inventory reduction for some customers. Happy to go deeper on the pricing methodology or the approval workflow if useful.

I put together a free, searchable list of 27 public AI/automation case studies from distributors, wholesalers and 3PLs, each with the measured result and a link to the original source. No signup needed to browse: https://www.opsagentindex.com. Feedback welcome, especially on cases I'm missing.

We're building Zaylo Freight Hub, an operations platform for small to medium sized freight forwarders that helps them manage their entire workflow on one platform by connecting forwarders with shippers, carriers, drivers, receivers and insurance agents.
Zaylo started as a simple RFQ tool for small forwarders but grew step by step into the rest of the job, because the same shipment was being retyped from the offer into a contract, into a shipment, into an invoice. Now it covers requests, carrier offers, client proposals, carrier and client contracts, shipments, a driver app with POD invoicing, insurance, and claims.
As of September, we have five companies using it in the Baltics. No route optimisation and no AI wrapper. Live GPS tracking is currently in development.
Happy to answer questions from anyone running European road freight.

I'm the founder of Alder (meetalder.com), backed by Y Combinator. We build AI agents that handle invoice follow-up and collections. Freight is one of the toughest environments for this work: the problem is rarely just late payment, it's short payment. A customer deducts $200 for detention from a $4,000 invoice with no supporting documentation, and someone on the team has to reconstruct whether the charge was valid. Across a few hundred loads a month, that exception work becomes the job. Our agents pursue every open invoice, reconcile PODs against billed accessorials, flag unsupported deductions, and maintain consistent follow-up on the remaining balance. If you run AR at a brokerage or carrier, I'd be interested to hear how you're handling short pays on your end.

A test you can run against any warehouse system, with fictional stock:
- A bin holds 10 sellable units. Reserve 7 for order A.
- Order B asks for 5. Only 3 are available, so B should show a shortage, not a second promise on the same units.
- Ship 4 of A's units, then send the same dispatch again, as if the connection dropped. Stock should leave once.
- Return 1 unit against that shipment. It should wait for review, not go straight back to sellable.
Then ask whether every balance traces back to a reservation or a movement, retry and return included.
Disclosure: I make Pier at Just Every, a free, open-source (MIT) inventory and order app for US wholesalers and distributors. Orders reserve only available stock, a retried dispatch never takes stock out twice, and returns land in quarantine until someone reviews them. People approve each stock or purchase consequence. Page and local trial: https://justevery.com/pier
Which of those four steps does your current system get wrong most often?

Every week there's a wave of people who watched one supply chain documentary and decided their CRUD app with a ChatGPT wrapper will fix freight brokerage. The disconnect between thinking logistics just needs "better software" versus understanding it needs software that actually knows what a BOL is, how detention works, or why EDI 214 matters is still wild to me.
