Job and schedule management
Create, assign and track jobs on a shared schedule, so everyone can see what is booked, in progress and complete without phoning around.
Logistics and transport
Logistics Software and Fleet Management Systems for South African Operators
Auris Nexus builds logistics software for transport companies, couriers, distributors and businesses that run their own delivery fleet, in Johannesburg and across South Africa. Jobs, drivers, vehicles, incidents and compliance sit in one workspace, so the operation no longer runs from a WhatsApp group and a spreadsheet.
The operational challenge
Dispatch shouldn't depend on one person's memory.
Most growing operators coordinate jobs, vehicles and drivers through phone calls, message threads and spreadsheets that only one or two people fully understand. It works until volumes rise, someone is on leave, or a client asks for proof of delivery.
- Dispatch lives in a WhatsApp group and one dispatcher's head
- Licence discs, roadworthies and permits expire without warning
- Customers phone to ask where their delivery is
- Incident and damage reports arrive late, on paper, or not at all
- Month-end reporting takes days of copying between spreadsheets
What we build for logistics
One operational picture of jobs, vehicles and people.
Modules share the same records, so a job, the driver on it, the vehicle used and any incident are linked. Start with the area causing the most pain and add the rest as you grow.
Fleet register
One record per vehicle with registration, licence disc and roadworthy dates, service history and current assignment, plus reminders before anything lapses.
Driver management
Driver profiles, licence and PrDP expiry tracking, documents and assignments, so you always know who is cleared to drive which vehicle.
Incident and damage logging
Capture accidents, breakdowns and damage from the road with photos and notes, then follow each one through investigation to close-out.
Compliance records
Permits, inspections, customer requirements and audit evidence stored against the vehicle, driver or job they belong to, with expiry alerts.
Operational reporting
Dashboards for jobs completed, vehicle utilisation, incidents and turnaround times, built from data your team already captures day to day.
Who we build for
- Transport and haulage companies
- Courier and last-mile delivery operators
- Distribution and warehousing businesses
- Companies running their own delivery or service fleet
- Field service businesses with teams and vehicles on the road
Why operators choose a custom platform
- Modelled on your depots, vehicle types and job flow, not a generic template
- Each operator's data isolated at database level, with access by role
- Usable in a phone browser by drivers and supervisors in the field
- Can connect to the vehicle tracking or accounting tools you already use
- You own the system and the data, with no per-vehicle licence fees
How we work
Start with the workflow, then build in phases.
We begin by mapping how a job moves from booking to proof of delivery, who touches it and where information gets re-captured. From that we agree the first module, usually jobs and scheduling or the fleet register, deliver it, and add modules once the team is using it. Our technology consulting service covers this discovery step on its own if you want a roadmap first.
Logistics software FAQ
Questions operators ask us.
It depends on the modules, the number of vehicles and depots, and how many people will use it. As a guide, custom business systems from Auris Nexus start from R30,000 and larger multi-module platforms from R50,000. After a consultation you receive a fixed quote in rand for the agreed scope.
We do not supply tracking hardware. If your current tracking provider offers an API, we can bring vehicle positions into the platform next to the jobs and drivers they relate to.
LOGIOS OS is in active development. The core modules can be demonstrated now, and dispatch, trips, deliveries and fuel and expenses are still being built. If you need a system sooner, we can scope a custom build on the same foundation.
Yes. The platforms we build are web applications that work in a phone browser, so drivers can view their jobs and log incidents from the road. Where offline use or device features matter, we can add a mobile app.
Access is role-based, so drivers, dispatchers and managers each see only what they need, and every operator's records are separated at database level. We design for POPIA from the start, including logging of who changed what.
