System Functionality
The system is optimized for intuitiveness, with an emphasis on modern design and easy navigation through all its functionalities. Users have access to various visual displays such as real-time order statuses, a calendar view, and a dashboard that allows quick review of current and upcoming orders.
The system allows for easy tracking and management of orders. Each order has a defined status that is updated in real-time. Drivers can view their tasks via the mobile version, while warehouses have an overview of inventory and the loading schedule for the current and upcoming weeks.
Solution
The key challenge was tracking order statuses in real-time and ensuring the system is fully responsive. We developed a mobile view for drivers so they can easily access their tasks and schedules. Warehouses and other users can track inventory status and plan activities using calendar views and the dashboard.

CO-FOUNDER - Export CityThe development of a web system for ordering import and export trucks was absolutely necessary for our company. Previously, we spent a significant amount of resources on communication with suppliers and carriers, which involved over 1,000 calls and several hundred emails per month. With the new system, the number of emails has decreased to just around 20 per month, and calls with carriers to about 30. The system has enabled us to efficiently manage the entire logistics process—from procurement, through sales, warehouses, and carriers, to customs paperwork. The Kidak Studio team perfectly understood our needs and successfully implemented them.
Further Work
Develop a financial data management module within the web system, including:
- Tracking transportation costs
- Financial reporting for suppliers, carriers, and other key entities
- Data analysis over various time periods
Functional specification:
- Implement functionality to monitor and record the cost of each transport
- Ability to input transportation prices for different routes and service types
- Real-time display of detailed cost information
The development of financial functionalities allows detailed tracking and analysis of transportation costs, as well as report generation for better resource management and cost optimization. These features contribute to more efficient decision-making and greater transparency in financial data.
