Overview

Logistics App Development Company in Ahmedabad

Raqbash is a logistics app development company in Ahmedabad that builds driver, tracking, fleet, proof-of-delivery and warehouse apps for transporters, 3PLs, couriers and forwarders, linked to your TMS, WMS or ERP.

Logistics apps fail on the road, not in the demo. A driver loses signal under a flyover near Narol, three loaders at a Changodar shed share one budget Android, and a battery saver kills tracking by noon on the run to Mundra port. We design for that day first: offline data, frugal GPS and one-thumb screens.

What we build

Logistics Apps We Build

We build six kinds of logistics apps, and most operators start with the driver app.

  • Driver apps

    Trips, stops, navigation and expenses, built to run all shift on a modest phone.

  • Customer tracking apps

    Booking, live ETAs and delivery OTPs, plus tracking links that open without an install.

  • Fleet management apps

    Vehicle location, driver scores, fuel, maintenance and document expiry.

  • Proof-of-delivery (ePOD) apps

    Photo, signature and OTP at the door, replacing paper PODs that go missing.

  • Warehouse scanning apps

    GRN, putaway, picking and loading on rugged scanners or phones.

  • Dispatcher and operations apps

    Assignment, route plans and exceptions for the control room.

Must-have features

Must-Have Features in a Logistics App

Six features decide whether drivers keep the app open or go back to phone calls.

  1. Live and background GPS tracking

    Location keeps flowing with the screen off, through an Android foreground service and iOS background mode.

  2. Offline-first sync

    Scans and photos save on the phone first and sync in order later.

  3. ePOD with photo, signature and OTP

    Proof in three taps, each record carrying time, position and who received the goods.

  4. Barcode and QR scanning

    Phone camera or hardware scanner, so wrong cartons are caught at the dock.

  5. Route optimisation

    Stops sequenced around time windows, capacity and traffic, sent to the driver in one tap.

  6. Battery-light tracking, on duty only

    Tracking adapts to speed and stops at sign-off, tested on 3 GB Androids.

Native vs cross-platform vs PWA

Native vs Cross-Platform vs PWA for Logistics Apps

For most logistics apps, cross-platform is right, with a small native module for background location.

Native, cross-platform and PWA compared for logistics apps.
FactorNative (Swift, Kotlin)Cross-platform (Flutter, React Native)PWA (web app)
PerformanceBest for all-day GPS and fast scanning.Near-native for trips, ePOD and tracking.Fine for a tracking page only.
Device accessFull: background location, scanner SDKs.Most, via small native modules.No background location.
CostHighest: two codebases.Lower: one codebase.Lowest; no store listing.
Time to marketSlowest.Faster; one release train.Fastest.
Offline useStrongest, with queued sync.Strong, with SQLite and sync.Basic; not dependable for ePOD.
Best forRugged scanners and heavy telematics.Driver, customer, fleet and ops apps.Tracking links sent by SMS.

Our recommendation: Build driver, customer and ops apps cross-platform, with a native Kotlin module for background tracking. Ship the driver app Android-first, and send occasional consignees a web tracking link instead.

Security, compliance & store readiness

Security, Compliance & App Store Readiness for Logistics Apps

We build logistics apps to DPDP Act 2023 practices and prepare the store declarations location apps need. We work alongside your legal team; we do not certify apps.

Location tracked on duty only

Tracking runs from duty start to sign-off, with a notice and consent or another lawful basis your legal team confirms.

Background-location declarations

Google Play's declaration, a prominent in-app disclosure and the Android 14 foreground-service type, prepared early.

Proof that holds up in a dispute

Time-stamped, geo-tagged ePOD records in an audit trail drivers cannot edit.

Encrypted, role-scoped data

TLS, on-device encryption and role-based access, so shippers see only their consignments.
  • Remote logout for shared phones
  • OWASP MASVS-aligned security testing
  • Tracking links that expire after delivery
  • Masked calling between drivers and consignees
  • Driver documents checked through authorised providers
  • Plain-language iOS location purpose strings

Why Raqbash

Why Logistics Teams Choose Raqbash for Their App

Logistics teams pick us because we have shipped rider, tracking and ePOD apps and test them on the road.

Cost & timeline

Logistics App Development Cost and Timeline

A logistics app in India typically costs ₹9–20 lakh for a first version and ₹20–45 lakh for a multi-app platform.

    • Multi-hub, multi-client setup
    • Telematics and e-way bill links
    • SSO, audit trails, security review

What drives the cost of a logistics app

  • Number of apps and roles

    A driver app alone costs far less than four connected apps.

  • Integrations

    Each TMS, WMS, ERP or e-way bill link adds work.

  • Tracking and offline depth

    All-day GPS and offline sync need extra testing.

  • Hardware

    Scanners, printers and GPS devices bring their own SDKs.

FAQ

Logistics Mobile App Development Services in Ahmedabad: FAQs

Straight answers for logistics app buyers.

How much does a logistics app cost to build in India?

Typically ₹9–20 lakh for a first version: a driver app with ePOD, a tracking link and a dispatch panel. Platforms with several apps, route optimisation and TMS or WMS integration usually cost ₹20–45 lakh. Multi-branch networks with telematics and audit needs start around ₹45 lakh. A fixed quote follows a free consultation.

How long does logistics app development take?

Usually 12–18 weeks for a first version and 5–9 months for a multi-app platform. Google Play reviews background-location apps closely, and new personal developer accounts must run a closed test first, so we plan extra weeks for launch. Access to your TMS or WMS APIs is the other big variable we check early.

Should our logistics app be native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform suits most logistics apps. React Native or Flutter gives one codebase for driver, customer and ops apps, keeping cost down and releases in step. We add a small native Kotlin module where all-day tracking or a scanner SDK needs it. Fully native apps suit mainly heavy telematics or scanner-only warehouse devices.

Is it legal to track our drivers' location through the app?

Generally yes, when done fairly. Under the DPDP Act 2023 you should tell drivers what is collected and why, and rely on consent or another lawful basis your legal team confirms. We build on-duty-only tracking, a visible duty switch, retention limits and access logs. Your HR policy completes the picture.

Can the app connect to our TMS, WMS, ERP or e-way bill system?

Usually, yes. Where your TMS, WMS or ERP has an API we connect directly; older systems can share data through scheduled exports. E-way bills are generated through the GST system, typically via a GST Suvidha Provider, with rules your tax adviser confirms. We test each integration during scoping, since it shapes cost.

Will Google Play approve an app that tracks location in the background?

Yes, if background location is core to the app and properly declared. Google Play asks for a permissions declaration, a prominent in-app disclosure before the system prompt, and often a demo video. Android 14 also needs a declared location foreground-service type. We prepare all of it and handle any resubmission.

What does it cost to maintain a logistics app after launch?

Budget for a monthly maintenance plan plus cloud, maps, SMS and store fees. Maps usage is often the biggest running cost on tracking-heavy apps, so we keep API calls low. Maintenance covers Android target-API updates, iOS releases, SDK upgrades, monitoring and small fixes. We quote it with the build, so running costs are clear.

Will the driver app work offline and on low-end phones?

Yes. Trips and stops download at the start of the shift, and every scan, photo and status saves locally until the network returns. We test on 3 GB Android phones with battery savers on, keep the download small, and support Gujarati and Hindi so new drivers can start without formal training.
