Logistics App Development Without an Agency

Trusted by iconic brands in 40+ countries

Why the people around your operation need their own app

Swift & Java

Choicely generates real native code for iOS and Android — not a website wrapped in an app shell.

2 stores, 1 project

One project maps to both the App Store and Google Play; the Publish Assistant guides the submission to both.

Your TMS stays

Custom screens show shipment status from your own systems' API natively in the app, or your tracking page opens as a web screen — the data stays in the systems that hold it.

Notices live, no rebuild

Change a depot rule, a safety notice or a cut-off time and it is in the app as soon as you save — no app-store review in between.

Push for shift changes

Reach drivers, warehouse staff and subcontractors at once when a gate closes, a route changes or a shift moves.

Eurovision & Miss Universe scale

The same native platform behind this builder powers fan apps for some of the world’s biggest live-audience events.

From description to your logistics app in three steps

1. Describe your operation

Your depots, who needs to hear from you — drivers, subcontractors, customers — and what they ask the office every day. Plain sentences are enough.

2. Shape it in Studio

Add the handbook and depot pages, show shipment status from your own API or link your tracking page and driver portal, and set up the members' section for subcontractors.

3. Build and publish

The Publish Assistant prepares the store listings, pre-checks them against Apple's and Google's review rules and guides you through submitting under your own developer accounts.

Logistics app development, without the driver-app project

Most logistics app development guides sort the field into fleet management, TMS, warehouse, driver and customer-tracking apps — each a months-long build around scanning, routing or offline sync. Choicely is not that, and says so up front. It builds the app for everyone around the operation: a handbook for drivers and subcontractors, depot pages with addresses and a map, a notice feed and a status screen for customers. You describe the operation, the AI lays out the first version, and you adjust it in Studio.

The handbook changes at four, the app at five

Safety notices, route changes, depot rules and loading-bay hours live in Studio. Edit them in the afternoon and the app shows the new version as soon as you save — no app-store release and no reprinted binder in the cab. When a change matters today, send a push notification with it.

Subcontractor onboarding in one place

The members' section behind login is the practical home for the people who are not on your payroll and not in your intranet: site rules, contacts, the documents they need on day one and forms that reach the office. Everyone works from the same current version, whoever they drive for.

What stays in your TMS

Dispatch, tracking, ePOD and scanning stay in the systems you already run. Custom screens can show live data from your TMS's or carrier platform's API, such as shipment status, natively in the app; your API keys stay on Choicely's servers. The simpler route: its web page for shipment status, bookings or drivers opens inside the app as a web screen. Either way the app shows the data; it does not replace your TMS.

Publish to the App Store and Google Play

Your app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, so the listing and the relationship with your drivers and customers stay yours. The Publish Assistant prepares the listings, pre-checks them against Apple's and Google's review rules and guides you through submitting. Apple and Google charge their own developer fees.

An honest list of what a Choicely logistics app does — and doesn't

What it does:

Handbooks, depot rules and notices you edit yourself, live without an app update
Push notifications to staff, drivers and subcontractors
Depot pages with map, contact and opening hours
A members' section behind login for subcontractors
Live shipment status from your own systems' API in a custom screen, with your API keys on Choicely's servers — or your tracking page and portals as web screens
Offline capture with send-on-reconnect, built into a custom screen; content you've already loaded stays viewable offline
Polls, surveys and ratings — ask drivers which depot change to make first

What it does not do:

No barcode or parcel scanning — the app cannot read barcodes into a workflow.
Built-in forms don't queue offline — they need a connection to submit.
No dispatch or routing, and no ready-made TMS integration — your TMS stays the system of record; a custom screen reads its API, or its web pages open inside the app.
No proof of delivery — signatures, photos and ePOD stay in your driver app.

No agency project — an agency starts with discovery and a quote. Here you describe the operation, and the first version is on your screen in minutes.
Not a driver app — it carries the communication around the work: handbooks, notices, onboarding and a customer status screen. Dispatch, scanning and proof of delivery stay in your TMS.
The handbook changes at four, the app at five — safety notices, route changes and depot rules edited in Studio, live without an app-store update.
Shift and depot notices by push — tell drivers, warehouse staff and subcontractors about a closed gate or a changed cut-off, straight to their phone.
One place for subcontractors — a members' section behind login for the people who are not on your payroll and not in your intranet.
Start free — build and test on the Free plan, push notifications included. Paid plans start at $25 a month.

Why choose Choicely for your logistics company's app

Choicely turns a description of your operation into a working native iOS and Android app, without code and without hiring an agency. It is the communication layer around your logistics: handbooks, depot notices and onboarding for drivers and subcontractors, and a status screen for customers, with live shipment data from your TMS's API or its own pages inside it.

You build and preview for free (150 credits every month, no card); publishing to both stores is the paid step, starting at Premium $25/month. See pricing and how publishing works.

Logistics app development: three ways to get one

	Hire an agency	A driver-app or TMS vendor’s app	Choicely
First working version	After discovery, design and build	After onboarding to their platform	Minutes, from your description
Scanning, ePOD and dispatch	Built per project	The core of their product	Not included — they stay in your TMS
Handbooks, notices and push	Built per request	Varies by vendor	Built in, edited by you, live
Whose app it is	Depends on the contract	Depends on the vendor	Yours, under your own developer accounts
Cost shape	Project fee plus maintenance	Platform subscription	Free to start, from $25/month

When you need a driver app instead. If the whole job is scanning parcels, capturing proof of delivery out of coverage and syncing it to dispatch, you need a driver or ePOD app — from your TMS vendor or an agency build — not Choicely. Choicely fits the other half: the information and communication around the operation, for staff, subcontractors and customers. Want a number for an agency build? Try the mobile app cost calculator.

Logistics app development FAQ

How much does logistics app development cost?

With an agency, a logistics app is a project: discovery, design and build, then a retainer for updates. A driver app with scanning and offline sync is the larger end of that. The mobile app cost calculator gives an estimate. With Choicely the first version is on your screen in minutes and you build and test for free; paid plans start at $25 a month, plus Apple's and Google's own developer fees when you publish.
