🚚 Logistics

Always-On Warehouses, Real-Time Fleets, Secure Portals — With Evidence

Logistics runs on time, telemetry, and trust.
SolveForce builds and operates infrastructure for warehouses & DCs, yards & ports, linehaul & last-mile fleets, 3PL/4PL hubs, and customer portals/APIs that is Zero-Trust by default, coverage-agnostic (fiber + LTE/5G + fixed wireless + satellite), and auditable—so WMS/TMS, scanners, robots, and drivers stay in sync and customers stay informed.

🎯 Outcomes (Why SolveForce for Logistics)

• Operational continuity— dual underlays per site and SD-WAN brownout steering keep WMS/TMS, scanners, and labelers online.
• Real-time visibility— telematics & IoT streams arrive fresh; APIs to customers/carriers stay under SLO.
• Zero-Trust footprint— identity- and device-aware access in warehouses, yards, and cabs; encrypted links everywhere.
• Omnichannel sync— stores/DCs/carriers/marketplaces share accurate inventory, ETA, and exceptions.
• Audit-grade ops— dashboards & artifacts for OSHA, DOT/FMCSA (ELD), SOC 2/ISO 27001, PCI (if payments), and GDPR/CCPA.

🧩 Reference Architectures (Pick Your Fit)

📐 SLO Guardrails (Targets You Can Measure)

KPI / Service (p95 unless noted)	Target (Recommended)
Scanner roam (same SSID)	≤ 50–150 ms
Handheld attach + DHCP	≤ 2–4 s
WMS station → label print	≤ 1.0–2.0 s
Telemetry freshness (fleet/IoT)	≤ 5–30 s (use-case dependent)
API latency (track/quote in-region)	≤ 50–150 ms
Site WAN availability (dual paths)	≥ 99.95%
ZTNA attach (staff/3PL)	≤ 1–3 s
Backup immutability (orders/docs)	= 100%
Evidence completeness (Sev-1/2)	= 100% (logs/approvals/artifacts)

SLO breaches auto-open tickets and trigger SOAR (reroute, rate-limit, rollback, revoke). → /siem-soar

🔒 Safety, Compliance & Standards

• DOT/FMCSA (ELD)— secure telemetry; immutable logs; device posture & vendor ZTNA.
• OSHA— safe power/edge deployments; camera/RTLS retention policies.
• PCI DSS(if taking cards) — CDE enclave, tokenization, WAF/Bot, key custody.
• SOC 2 / ISO 27001— access, change, logging, IR; monthly evidence packs.
• GDPR/CCPA— data minimization, DLP/tokenization, subject-rights workflows; residency controls.

---

📊 Observability & Evidence

• Ops SLO boards — WMS/TMS latency, roam/attach, WAN health, ZTNA attaches, API lat, label queue times.
• Security — WAF/Bot & DLP hits, NAC decisions, EDR/NDR incidents; immutable backups & DR artifacts.
  Exports to SIEM; SOAR automates contain/rollback/report. → /siem-soar

---

💾 Continuity & IR

• Immutable backups (Object-Lock, MFA Delete, air-gap) for WMS/TMS/portal/dbs; DRaaS runbooks & quarterly drills with artifacts.

Key terms in plain language

Open a term for a concise explanation of language used on this page.

💡Fiber Internet

Internet delivered through strands of glass using light. Fiber commonly supports high capacity, low latency, and strong upload performance, but availability must be confirmed for the exact address.

⏱️Latency

The time it takes data to travel between two points. Lower latency improves voice, video meetings, cloud applications, gaming, and other real-time services.

🔀SD-WAN

Software-defined wide area networking. It manages multiple connections and chooses paths based on application needs, performance, and policy to improve resilience and control.

🔐VPN

A virtual private network creates an encrypted connection across another network, commonly allowing remote users or offices to access private resources securely.

🧰Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software accessed as an online service instead of being installed and maintained entirely on the customer’s own computers or servers.

♻️Disaster Recovery (DRaaS)

A plan and service for restoring applications, data, and operations after an outage or disruption. DRaaS provides recovery infrastructure through a managed cloud service.

🛡️Cybersecurity

The practices and controls used to protect identities, devices, networks, applications, and data from unauthorized access, disruption, or manipulation.

🚫Zero Trust

A security model that does not automatically trust a user or device because of its location. Access is continuously verified and limited to what is necessary.
