By the way, as a developer, I find logistics interesting, I wouldn't be concerned about the industry. Your problem seems intriguing, I'd work on it. I don't have experience in this situation, but your assessment sounds very solid,I agree with you. The main pitfall I keep thinking about is making sure to hire somebody very focused on getting the stuff done specifically for your business. If they go down a path of developing software, it can generate enormous waste. To clarify, they might need to be ready to create scripts to extract data from the existing software and integrate the workflows (kind of doing what you are doing with no code), rather than writing from scratch, because the alternative might have astronomical costs. I would focus on senior devs, pass on juniors for the first hire. Not sure how many people would be necessary.
