Logistics and Transport

What is changing

Logistics runs on thin margins and tight windows. Every night carriers plan thousands of routes, rail operators rework paths and fleets rebalance vehicles, often on systems that cannot see each other. The operators gaining ground are joining planning, tracking and billing on one platform.

Customers expect a live position and an honest arrival time, not a tracking number that updates only at the depot.

Fuel prices, emissions rules and driver shortages make every empty mile more expensive than it was five years ago.

Three shifts in how freight moves

Planning in hours, not days
Orders arrive later and change more often. Plans have to be rebuilt overnight, and again when the weather or a breakdown intervenes.
Visibility from yard to doorstep
Shippers, receivers and drivers expect to see the same position and the same arrival time, updated as things change.
Settlement that keeps up
Fuel surcharges, waiting time and partner invoices have to be reconciled automatically, or the margin disappears in the back office.

By the numbers

Logistics, measured

4,000: Routes Osprey Freight plans every night on one platform.
18%: Fewer empty miles across the fleets we have helped re-plan, measured over the first year.
3 days: Average time to settle a carrier invoice after automated reconciliation, down from a month.
99.95%: Availability of the tracking platforms we run, across the last three peak seasons.

What we do

How we help carriers, rail operators and fleets

We build for the night shift: systems that finish their work on time, and say clearly when they cannot.

Network and route planning
Optimization that plans thousands of routes overnight and replans in minutes when something changes, with planners in control.
Artificial intelligence and data
Tracking and visibility
Positions from vehicles, scanners and partners joined into one shipment status that every party can see.
Integration and APIs
Transport management
Order, load and dispatch systems configured to the way your network runs, not the way a template assumes.
Enterprise platforms
Settlement and billing
Rating, surcharges and partner invoices moved off old batch systems and reconciled as each shipment closes.
Application modernization
Driver and depot apps
Apps for drivers, yard staff and depot managers, designed with them and built to work with poor signal and gloves on.
Digital product engineering
Fleet electrification data
Range, charging and route data combined so that electric vehicles are scheduled where they will do the most good.
Green software

Planning

Four thousand routes, decided overnight

Osprey Freight used to plan its network in three systems that exchanged files at fixed times. A late order could miss the plan entirely, and a breakdown meant phone calls until dawn.

Planning now happens on one platform. Orders flow in as they arrive, the plan for 4,000 routes is built overnight, and planners can change any part of it in the morning and see the effect at once.

Visibility

One position, shared by everyone

A shipment is often seen by five systems: the shipper's, the carrier's, a partner's, the depot's and the receiver's. Each holds a slightly different version of where it is.

We join those signals into one status with one estimated arrival, exposed through APIs that shippers can build on. Customer service answers fewer calls, and the calls they do take start from the same facts.
