Data Engineering built for Logistics companies
What is Data Engineering?
We turn scattered data into pipelines your business can actually trust and query. For Logistics companies, this means navigating IATA/IMO standards, Customs compliance regulations while shipping fast.
Who needs Data Engineering for Logistics?
- Real-time shipment and fleet tracking accuracy
- Integrating with carrier and customs APIs
- Route optimization under fluctuating fuel and demand
- Data scattered across disconnected systems
- Reports that disagree depending on who pulls them

Our Approach
We approach Logistics builds around the constraint that matters most: real-time shipment and fleet tracking accuracy. Every engagement in this space gets IATA/IMO standards-aware data handling and compliance review before launch, not after.

Most Data Engineering engagements take 8-16 weeks, depending on scope and how clear the requirements are upfront. We'll give you a firm timeline estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.
Data Engineering projects with us typically range from $25,000 - $140,000, scaled to the complexity of your requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.
For data engineering, we typically work with Snowflake, BigQuery, Airflow, dbt, chosen based on your specific scalability and integration requirements. We're not tied to a single stack and will recommend the right tools for your situation rather than our default.
A typical data engineering engagement includes data warehouse architecture (snowflake, bigquery), along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.
Most clients come to us for data engineering because of data scattered across disconnected systems, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.
We've delivered multiple logistics projects addressing challenges like real-time shipment and fleet tracking accuracy. We helped a freight brokerage cut manual dispatch time by 60% with a custom load-matching platform.
For logistics clients, we pay close attention to IATA/IMO standards, Customs compliance regulations, building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.
The most common challenges we solve for logistics clients include real-time shipment and fleet tracking accuracy and integrating with carrier and customs apis. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
