I'm a private consultant to logistics and haulage businesses, with over 20 years in the industry and many companies helped. I don't hand over a report and walk away. I help implement it, test it and run it, and I write the code, AI included, when it's needed.
Most logistics software problems aren't inside one system. They're between two.
The TMS and the pallet network. The WMS and the supermarket. The customer's order file and your import. Each vendor looks after their side. Nobody owns the join.
I do. I can read the API, talk to the vendor's developers, explain it to the transport office, and fix it myself when that makes more sense than paying a day rate.
And I bring AI with me. I'm one of the most experienced AI-driven technologists working in UK logistics, and where AI can take a job off your team, I'll show you, on private hardware, with your data kept in-house.
What you need from a TMS, WMS or ERP, written down in plain words before anyone sells you anything.
Bringing a cloud TMS, WMS or ERP into a working business: data, training, go-live and the weeks after.
End-to-end API testing with your partners: every consignment, every status, every field. Findings fed back in writing.
Getting trading partners live: message specs, test files, certification testing, switch-on.
One named person who talks to retailers, EDI providers and software vendors on your behalf.
When the vendor's day rate is the problem, I build it in-house instead.
Where AI can take a job off your team, I'll show you, on private hardware, with your data kept in-house.
With askadash, the numbers you need are built into a dashboard from your own words, usually in minutes.
I've been the person in the middle for many logistics and haulage businesses. Here's one: a bespoke cloud TMS rollout for a UK haulage and distribution business.
I helped implement the TMS, trained into the transport hub systems, and became the business's named technical contact with retailers, EDI providers and the WMS vendor.
When a message fails overnight, someone has to know which system to look at first, and who to call. That's the job.
Before a haulier's TMS trades with a national pallet network, the link has to be proven.
On one such project I ran that testing: forward-manifesting consignments, following each one through collection, the hub and delivery, and feeding validation findings back to the network's tech team.
I learn how the work really moves before I touch a system: yard, transport office, warehouse, accounts.
Every system, file, message and person involved. Where the data starts, where it ends, where it gets lost.
What changes, in what order, and who needs to know. Written in plain words.
Real flows, tested away from live systems, with findings written up and fed back.
I'm there for go-live and after it, as the technical contact your partners can call.
Implementation for a UK haulage and distribution business.
Manifests, statuses and findings, end to end.
EDI middleware built in-house instead of paying a day rate.
Tell me which systems aren't talking, or which project has stalled. I'll tell you straight what it takes.
