How to automate order dispatching and tracking in a logistics software system?

Automating order dispatching and tracking makes delivery faster, easier, and more accurate for logistics companies.

As a developer, you can connect the order system, warehouse, and delivery system using APIs or webhooks. This way, when an order is confirmed, all systems update automatically.

Automation can then assign the order to the right driver or vehicle by checking factors like location, route, and load capacity. With GPS and smart routing, deliveries become quicker and fuel use goes down. Customers can also get real-time updates about their delivery through automated messages.

Using IoT devices and geofencing helps track every vehicle in real time. Managers can see all deliveries, routes, and driver performance on one dashboard.

To build this kind of system, you need a good understanding of API connections, route optimization, and live tracking. Working with a custom software development company like Bacancy can make it easier to create reliable and efficient logistics software.
