Transportation management system development for logistics and energy

We build TMS platforms, driver apps, utility billing and field service tools for carriers, 3PLs and energy companies, connected to your telematics, accounting and regulators.

In short

Transportation management system development at Athyrium Studio covers load planning, route optimization, real-time tracking, freight audit, driver apps with proof of delivery, EDI with shippers and filings such as Colombia's RNDC manifests or Mexico's Carta Porte. For energy and utility companies, we build customer portals, smart-meter data handling, time-of-use billing and field work orders.

Where dispatch and metering stall

  1. 01

    Dispatch runs on a whiteboard and a group chat, so nobody knows which truck is free.

  2. 02

    Shippers call for ETAs because our tracking portal shows yesterday's data.

  3. 03

    Carrier invoices do not match what was agreed, and we catch it after paying.

  4. 04

    Meter reads arrive in different file formats, and billing is rebuilt by hand every cycle.

What we build for carriers and utilities

01

Load planning and dispatch

Loads, trucks and drivers on one board, with document checks before dispatch and EDI load tenders from your shippers.

02

Route optimization and tracking

Routes planned with traffic and delivery windows, live positions from your telematics and alerts for delays or unplanned stops.

03

Driver app with proof of delivery

Photos, signatures and exceptions captured on the driver's phone, even without signal, and synced as soon as it returns.

04

Freight audit

Each carrier invoice checked against the agreed load terms, accessorials and proof of delivery before it goes to payment.

05

Utility customer portal and metering

Usage, smart-meter reads, bills and online payments for every customer, with time-of-use billing under your rules.

06

Field work orders

Crews receive work orders on their phones, capture geotagged evidence and feed regulatory reports from the same data.

Telematics, standards and filings we connect

  • EDI X12 204 and 214
  • Samsara
  • Geotab
  • Google Maps Platform
  • Green Button
  • DLMS/COSEM
  • ArcGIS
  • QuickBooks
  • RNDC (Colombia)
  • CFDI Carta Porte (Mexico)

Transport and metering rules we account for

Manifests, freight terms and metering follow strict rules in Latin America, and we design each workflow to help your team meet them without retyping data.

  • Resolución 20243040058015 de 2024Colombia

    Colombia's Ministry of Transport rule making the RNDC the only valid channel for cargo manifests, with real-time loading and unloading reports.

  • SICE-TACColombia

    Colombia's freight reference system: if the agreed freight falls below the minimum it calculates, the manifest is not issued.

  • CFDI with Carta Porte complementMexico

    SAT electronic document for moving goods in Mexico, with details on the cargo, route and transport.

  • Resolución CREG 101 001 de 2022Colombia

    Colombian energy regulator's rule setting conditions for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).

  • Resolución 000165 de 2023Colombia

    DIAN electronic invoicing rule that applies to freight and service invoices in Colombia.

Questions carriers and utilities ask

Can you connect to the telematics we already use?

Usually, yes. Samsara, Geotab and most GPS providers offer APIs for positions, engine events and driver logs. We bring that data into one dispatch view with alerts for delays or unplanned stops, so you keep the hardware already installed in your trucks and stop switching between portals to follow a load.

Do you handle cross-border freight with Mexico?

Yes. For shipments in Mexico we generate the CFDI with the Carta Porte complement through a PAC, tied to the load, truck and operator, so dispatch does not fill it out separately. For Colombian operations we report remesas and manifests to the RNDC from the same system where loads are created.

Can you build time-of-use billing for a utility?

Yes. We read interval data from your meter data management system or from DLMS/COSEM meters, validate it and apply the time-of-use periods your utility defines. Customers see their usage and bills in a portal, and for US utilities we can offer Green Button downloads so customers can share their own data.

Why build a custom TMS instead of licensing one?

If a packaged TMS fits your lanes and customers, license it, and we will tell you so. Custom makes sense when you combine freight with regulatory filings like the RNDC or Carta Porte, run your own driver workflows, need EDI with specific shippers or want one system that also covers energy or field operations.

Who owns the code, the load history and the meter data?

Your company, from the first day. Repositories, cloud accounts, telematics API keys and databases are registered to your organization, and we work as collaborators you can remove at any time. Load history, meter reads and customer records stay in your accounts, ready for whichever team maintains the system next.

Walk us through your dispatch or field operation

Tell us how you dispatch, track and invoice today, or how your crews work in the field. We sign an NDA before you share manifests, customer lists or meter data.
