SolveForce Supply-Chain Networks, Telematics, and Evidence-Backed Compliance

Logistics depends on real-time connectivity, precise data, and provable handoffs. From fleet telematics and yard gates to WMS/TMS/YMS, EDI, cold chain, and cross-border customs, SolveForce engineers telecom-grade supply-chain fabrics, IoT/edge platforms, security, and immutable evidence—so freight moves faster, safer, and audibly across every leg.

🛣️ Quote Process for Logistics (transparent, chain-ready)

  1. Scope & Intake (Day 0–3) — lanes & nodes (DC/port/airport/cross-dock), systems (TMS/WMS/YMS/EDI), compliance scope.
  2. Discovery & Supplier Graph (Day 3–10) — carrier coverage, mobile/satellite zones, device estate, integration catalog.
  3. Design-to-Quote (Day 7–14) — supply-chain network + platform design, BoM, SLO tables, evidence & compliance overlays.
  4. Review & Refine (Day 14–20) — Good/Better/Best options; cost↔latency trades; rollout waves; playbooks.
  5. Finalize & Order (Day 20+) — circuit/FOCs, SIMs/devices, EDI/API turn-ups; acceptance sign-off with immutable bundle.
