A custom logistics management platform for scheduling and driver coordination is a system engineered around your fleet's actual dispatch, job allocation and tracking needs. Megapixel Consulting & Solutions Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based digital transformation firm led by a Certified Management Consultant, builds these platforms directly, and delivered one end to end for HHH Marine, covering job scheduling, driver coordination and operational transparency.
Key Takeaways
- We built an end-to-end logistics platform for HHH Marine covering job scheduling, driver coordination and operational transparency.
- Enterprise Singapore states EDG funding generally covers up to 50% of qualifying project costs, with higher support available for sustainability-linked projects.
- Our own EDG advisory works within a government support band of 50% to 70% of qualifying project costs.
- EDG eligibility requires a Singapore-registered company, at least 30% local shareholding, financial viability, and a project that has not yet commenced.
- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires electronic logging devices to record engine power status, vehicle motion status, miles driven and engine hours, a useful benchmark for how far coordination data can go.
What Should You Look for When Choosing a Logistics Platform Developer?
Look for a developer who maps your actual dispatch and driver workflows before writing a line of code, has a working platform you can inspect, and stays on for support once it goes live. A vendor quoting a fixed template price without first understanding your fleet size, job volume, or how drivers currently get assigned work is guessing, not building.
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| A live, named deployment you can see | Shows the developer has shipped something real, not just a demo screen |
| A discovery phase with stakeholder interviews | Surfaces the real dispatch bottlenecks before design starts |
| Experience scoping EDG-eligible projects | Keeps grant paperwork and the build timeline moving on one track |
| Support built in after launch | Stops the platform going stale once your team relies on it daily |
We start every logistics build the same way: talking to the people who actually run dispatch, not just the person signing the contract.
How We Built a Logistics Platform for HHH Marine
Our work for HHH Marine started with stakeholder interviews and process mapping. We sat with dispatchers and drivers, walked through the existing paper-and-phone workflow, and identified exactly where jobs were getting lost or delayed. From there, we designed and delivered an end-to-end logistics management platform covering job scheduling, driver coordination and operational transparency across the fleet.
That project sits alongside three other builds in our portfolio: a front-end and CMS system for EZ-Link, a workplace safety system under the Workplace SafeEntry banner, and an agentic AI project we call AgenticAI. You can see the shape of that work on our projects page.
As Roy put it in a Google review of our digital transformation work: "Working with Megapixel Solutions has been a pleasure. Their team consistently delivers quality work, innovative ideas, and genuine partnership. They don't just provide services, they co-create value with you. A trusted digital transformation partner."
Can Government Grants Fund a Custom Logistics Platform in Singapore?
Yes. A logistics platform build can qualify as a digital transformation project under the Enterprise Development Grant, with government co-funding available once your application clears assessment. We run the grant advisory and the project execution together, so the paperwork and the build stay on the same timeline instead of running as two disconnected efforts.
Enterprise Singapore states that EDG generally funds up to 50% of qualifying project costs, with higher support possible for sustainability-related projects. Our own EDG advisory works within a support band of 50% to 70% of qualifying costs, depending on how your project is scoped. A logistics platform that replaces manual dispatch workflows and improves fleet utilization fits squarely within that digital transformation scope.
To apply, your company needs to meet a few conditions:
- Registered in Singapore
- At least 30% local shareholding
- Financially viable
- The project has not yet commenced
That last point catches people out most often. If you have already started building or paid a deposit, the project is no longer eligible for that particular application. We handle scoping and the Enterprise Development Grant application in the same conversation, before any build work starts, so timing doesn't work against you.
What Does Mature Driver Coordination Data Actually Look Like?
Real driver coordination isn't just a shared spreadsheet with job numbers on it. In the United States, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires electronic logging devices to synchronize with a commercial vehicle's engine and automatically record duty status, engine power status, vehicle motion status, miles driven, and engine hours. FMCSA guidance also requires that an ELD be able to produce records for the current 24-hour period plus the previous 7 consecutive days at a roadside inspection.
That level of automatic capture is a US regulatory requirement tied to specific vehicle classes, not a Singapore mandate, and we're not citing it as one. What it does illustrate is the ceiling on how detailed driver coordination data can get when a system pulls straight from the vehicle instead of relying on someone typing a status update. Our platform for HHH Marine didn't need engine-linked telematics to solve the problem in front of us. Real-time job status, driver assignment, and dispatch visibility across the team closed the gap that manual coordination had left open.
How the Build Process Works, From Discovery to Launch
Fast. Rapid prototyping & delivery in weeks, not months.
That's the pace we work at once a project is scoped. After the stakeholder interviews and process mapping, we move into building a working version of the platform, not a slide deck of what it might look like. Your dispatch team gets something to react to early, which is where most of the real requirements surface. From there we refine, test against actual job volume, and launch.
Partners beyond the build. Ongoing support, training, and scaling for long-term success.
Once a platform is live, we don't hand over a login and disappear. Training for dispatchers and drivers, support as job volume grows, and adjustments as your fleet or routes change are part of how we work with clients after launch. You can see the range of organizations we've supported on our clients and partners page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom logistics platform take to build?
We work in a rapid prototyping model, delivering a working build in weeks rather than months, then refining it once your dispatch team starts using it against real jobs. Exact timelines depend on fleet size and how many workflows need mapping during discovery, which is why that conversation happens first.
What makes a business eligible to apply for EDG funding for this kind of project?
Your company needs to be Singapore-registered, hold at least 30% local shareholding, be financially viable, and the project needs to be one that hasn't started yet. A logistics platform replacing manual dispatch workflows generally fits within EDG's digital transformation scope, subject to assessment against your proposal's clarity and measurable outcomes.
Does Megapixel only build logistics platforms, or does it cover other systems too?
Logistics is one part of our project work. We've also built a front-end and CMS system for EZ-Link, delivered a workplace safety system under Workplace SafeEntry, and built an agentic AI project called AgenticAI. Alongside custom platforms, we also run WhatsApp AI Agent Jay for businesses that need automated customer conversation handling.
What happens after the platform launches?
Launch isn't the end of the engagement. We provide training for the people using the system day to day, ongoing support as issues come up, and scaling adjustments as your fleet, job volume, or routes change. That follow-through is built into how we structure every project, not an optional add-on afterward.
