Logistics & Freight Software Development

Bookings sit in one system. Tracking lives somewhere else. Accounting pulls from spreadsheets. Customer service relies on email threads to answer basic shipment questions. Every manual handoff introduces delay and risk.

At Centreville Tech, we design and build software for logistics companies that need their systems to work together cleanly and reliably. We understand freight because we have worked inside it. Our team has built production systems used by freight forwarders and supply chain organizations every day.

If you are trying to reduce manual work, improve visibility, or modernize your internal systems, we would welcome a conversation.

Built by People Who Understand Freight

Freight is not generic business software. It has its own language, timelines, and operational pressure.

We have deep hands-on experience building freight-focused platforms, including DNA SAMMIE, a shipment visibility and workflow management system designed specifically for freight forwarders and logistics providers. You can learn more about it here: DNA SAMMIE.

Building DNA SAMMIE required more than development skills. It required understanding milestones, shipment hierarchies, documentation, and how forwarders actually operate under real customer expectations.

That practical experience informs everything we build.

Custom Software That Reflects How You Actually Operate

Many logistics businesses outgrow their systems. What worked at $5 million in revenue breaks down at $25 million. Manual tracking becomes unmanageable. Customer expectations increase. Reporting becomes harder.

We build custom freight software that fits your workflows instead of forcing you into someone else’s model. That can include:

• Shipment visibility portals for customers
• Internal operations dashboards
• Rate management and quoting tools
• Automated milestone tracking
• Exception management systems
• Reporting and margin analysis tools

Our goal is not to replace everything. It is to strengthen the parts of your operation that create friction or risk.

Integration with Freight-Specific Platforms

Modern freight operations rely on specialized tools. The challenge is getting them to work together.

We have experience integrating with platforms such as:

• Project44
• Ocean Insights
• Dray Rates
• Magaya
• Carrier APIs and EDI feeds
• Accounting platforms
• Customer CRMs

Integration matters because disconnected systems create hidden costs. When your TMS does not sync cleanly with tracking, billing, or customer communication, your team fills the gap manually.

We design API and EDI integrations that move data securely and reliably between systems. That reduces duplicate entry, improves data accuracy, and allows your team to focus on serving customers instead of managing spreadsheets.

Automation That Reduces Risk

In freight, small errors can create large consequences. A missed milestone. A delayed invoice. An overlooked exception.

We design automation that supports your operations team, including:

• Automated status updates to customers
• Trigger-based notifications for delays or exceptions
• Workflow routing for documentation review
• Scheduled data reconciliation between systems

Automation is not about replacing people. It is about giving your team consistent processes and reliable information.

Mobile Tools for Operations and Sales

Freight does not happen at a desk. It happens in warehouses, ports, and on the road.

We build mobile applications that allow your team to:

• Capture shipment updates in the field
• Access customer and shipment data securely
• Manage tasks and approvals remotely
• Improve communication between operations and sales

Mobile tools are most effective when they connect directly to your core systems. We ensure that mobile, web, and backend systems work together as one cohesive platform.

A Long-Term Technology Partner

Logistics companies do not need flashy technology. They need dependable systems that support growth and protect margins.

We approach freight software the way we approach infrastructure: carefully, responsibly, and with long-term support in mind. We take the time to understand how your team operates before recommending solutions. We communicate clearly about scope, cost, and timelines. And we stand behind what we build.

If your logistics organization is ready to improve visibility, reduce manual processes, or integrate critical freight platforms into a more unified system, we would be glad to help.
