1. The Challenge
Direct Transport Solutions (DTS) was severely limited by archaic, manual processes that consumed over 6-7+ hours of daily work2. Their operational efficiency was crippled, and off-the-shelf software had failed to meet their specific needs. Their core pain points included:
Crippling Administrative Overhead – Almost 90% of their office work was manual, leading to significant time wastage and a reliance on error-prone paperwork3.Inaccurate and Delayed Data – Administrators and clients lacked accurate, real-time location and status updates for drivers and shipments.Manual Payroll and Invoicing – Driver salary calculations and disbursements were manual, delaying payment and increasing administrative burden.Inefficient Client Interaction – Clients lacked a self-service way to book shipments and track deliveries, relying on phone calls and manual coordination.System Failure – Previous attempts to adopt paid, off-the-shelf software were unsuccessful, necessitating a robust, custom digital solution.2. How We Managed It
Our team engineered a complete, three-tiered Transport Management System (TMS)—comprising an Admin Portal, a Client Portal, and a Driver Mobile App 4—utilizing Next.js, React Native, and Supabase5. The solution was designed for total operational digitization and high-speed automation.

In a Nutshell
DTS faced a critical need to overcome a 90% manual workload and lack of real-time visibility9. We built a complete, full-stack TMS using Next.js and React Native that implemented real-time tracking10, a client booking portal, and an automated single-approval payroll system. This gave the client a future-proof, enterprise-grade solution that now saves the business significant daily administrative hours.
