Our Process for Building On-Demand Delivery Applications
Our approach to build on-demand delivery apps is designed for clarity, speed, and collaboration. We break delivery app development into structured phases to ensure your platform launches with the right features, performance, and flexibility from day one.
We start with structured discovery sessions to define your delivery model, service areas, integrations, and features. This phase ensures platform goals are aligned with your business operations.
Our team builds user flows for customers, agents, and admins. We focus on simplifying core actions like placing orders, dispatching, and tracking before moving into full visual design.
We build core modules across mobile, backend, and admin layers using agile sprints. Features like real-time tracking, route optimization, and payment systems are added and tested continuously.
Every component is tested for usability, responsiveness, and reliability under varying loads. We also validate third-party integrations, multi-device performance, and region-specific functionalities.
After deployment, we monitor platform performance and user flows. We offer structured support and help you prioritize updates based on user feedback, new features, or scaling needs.

FAQs
How much does it cost to develop custom logistics software?
The cost of developing custom logistics software typically ranges from AED 100,000 to AED 500,000, depending on project scope, integrations, and features like route optimization or warehouse automation. Solutions with IoT or AI-based modules may require higher budgets. We provide detailed cost breakdowns tailored to your operational scale and regional compliance needs.
Which type of logistics and transportation software solutions do you build?
We build a wide range of logistics solutions including transport management systems (TMS), fleet tracking, warehouse management software (WMS), shipping platforms, order management systems, and freight logistics tools. These solutions are built to optimize your supply chain, automate operations, and integrate with ERP, CRM, and third-party platforms used across the Middle East.
What are the benefits of digitalizing your logistics and transportation operations?
Digital logistics systems streamline delivery schedules, reduce operational bottlenecks, and improve visibility across your supply chain. You gain real-time insights, lower fuel and labor costs, and ensure faster order fulfillment. With compliance and automation built-in, digitalization supports sustainable growth, better customer experiences, and long-term savings in complex transportation networks.
Is it possible to scale logistics software across multiple warehouse locations?
Yes. Our solutions are built with multi-warehouse coordination in mind. You can manage distributed inventory, monitor location-wise performance, and enable automated routing across regional hubs. This flexibility is ideal for logistics companies operating in cities like Dubai, Riyadh, or Jeddah, where centralized systems must adapt to regional warehouse dynamics.
What makes custom logistics software more effective than off-the-shelf tools?
Custom logistics software adapts to your business model, not the other way around. Unlike generic platforms, it aligns with your internal workflows, integrates with your systems, and complies with regional regulations like ZATCA or Fatoora. This results in higher operational efficiency, better data control, and software that scales with your logistics goals.
