Obratka is a logistics platform designed and fully developed by the Codeska team to streamline container truck management. With an integrated Transport Management System (TMS) and a driver-focused mobile app, Obratka delivers a seamless and efficient experience for logistics companies.
This platform enabled the reduction of freight rates by up to 30% and accelerated truck processing at destination points. By leveraging Machine Learning, Obratka predicts freight rates and automates routine tasks like calls and emails, creating a more efficient and automated workflow.
Challenges and Solutions
The logistics industry presented several challenges. Processes were heavily reliant on manual communication, causing delays and inefficiencies. Freight rates and processing times were higher than desired, and the client aimed to enter the Ukrainian market with a high-performing product.
The Codeska team began by reviewing and refining the client’s technical documentation, which initially lacked crucial role definitions. Through collaboration with industry professionals, the documentation was rewritten to ensure it addressed real-world logistics scenarios. The iterative development approach allowed us to introduce features gradually, aligning with user feedback and market needs.
During development, the team focused on optimizing order creation, route planning, and GPS data collection. These improvements were tested and validated with a focus group to ensure they met user expectations and operational demands.
Development Journey
The project evolved through multiple development phases. The first iteration, completed in late 2018, introduced core TMS functionality. Subsequent iterations added key features, such as driver tracking and GPS, while continuously improving usability. The platform went live in September 2020 and operated successfully, receiving updates and enhancements to maintain its competitiveness.
However, as of now, the project is temporarily frozen due to strategic decisions by the client.
Results
Obratka delivered impressive results, including a 30% reduction in freight rates and significant time savings for logistics teams. The automation of routine tasks streamlined workflows, allowing staff to focus on strategic operations. Enhanced user experience encouraged rapid adoption among transport managers and drivers, positioning Obratka as a leader in logistics solutions.
