I worked on the logistics IT team for a global marketplace and can assure you that all software in that space is of subpar quality, because all players in this space have to rely on global shipping and logistics incumbents who do not care about how outdated their systems are and have essentially lost ability to understand their own systems. This creates an opportunity for you to create a set of products and services that you can build to improve your own operations and to resell to other businesses in your space. However... Software development always costs more than "civilians" (companies whose core business is not software development) expect. I would advise you to work with someone who has built systems for logistics before and can help you describe your current baseline in a way a software developer can understand, then define the target state and break down the journey into clearly defined deliverables. Then you can have a conversation about making it happen. Happy to help you as I have worked on and delivered national and international-level projects in the banking and shipping space.
