Logistics & supply chain · Forwarders, 3PLs, wholesale
We're CPI Technologies, a Frankfurt software company that has been building products people pay for since 2017. For freight forwarders, logistics providers, and wholesalers, we build customer portals, driver apps, and dispatch tools that plug into your existing TMS and ERP instead of replacing them. Fewer status calls, no double data entry — from idea to a working system in about 90 days.
Sound familiar?
The orders are coming in and the trucks are rolling — but every piece of information travels by phone, email, and Excel. Every shipment triggers questions, and every question costs your team time. Meanwhile, the big players are building portals your customers will start measuring you against.
What we build
Always software that has to prove itself in daily operations. We'll map out the right combination for your business in the Potential Analysis.
Your customers check statuses, delivery notes, and PODs themselves, book orders online, and download documents — around the clock, without calling your back office. Built on our self-service platform, ready in weeks instead of years.
Tour list, navigation, photo proof of delivery, damage documentation: your driver updates the status with two taps — and dispatch, the customer, and invoicing all know instantly. No paper riding around in the cab for days.
Orders, vehicles, and tours in one interface instead of three Excel sheets and twenty phone calls. Every change is instantly visible to everyone — even when your best dispatcher is on vacation.
We don't replace your systems — we connect them: orders, master data, and documents flow automatically between TMS, ERP, and portal. No more double data entry, no more transcription errors.
Orders arriving as emails, PDFs, or fax attachments? An AI agent reads them, creates them in your TMS, and answers routine status inquiries automatically — your team just reviews instead of retyping.
Proof of delivery arrives as a photo from the driver, gets matched to the order automatically, and is instantly available to the customer and to invoicing. Your invoice goes out on delivery day — not a week later.
Integrations
Your TMS, ERP, and telematics stay in place — your portal sits in front of them as a modern interface. It reads and writes where your data already lives: orders, statuses, documents. Your team never enters anything twice.
Your internal systems
Tools it connects to
+ 1,500 more appsA few examples — we connect what actually runs your operation: direct interfaces to your TMS, ERP, and telematics, plus an integration layer covering 1,500+ apps. What your TMS can connect to is something we verify before the quote — not after.
How it works
No agency black box, no IT project without an end date. Three steps, each with a clear deliverable — at a fixed price locked in before we start.
Step 1 · Weeks 1–2
Step 2 · Weeks 3–9
Step 3 · Weeks 10–13
What's in it for you
Software that works for you — in daily operations and on your balance sheet.
The portal answers status inquiries, proof of delivery arrives digitally from the driver, and orders land in the TMS without retyping. Your team handles more shipments without you having to hire — in an industry where good people are hard to find anyway.
A portal of your own makes switching to a competitor unattractive: your customers have their shipments, PODs, and documents in one place. In tenders, you show up as the logistics partner who delivers transparency — instead of just promising it.
Digitized operations and software you own count as real substance in a valuation or succession — unlike revenue that hangs on phone calls and a few key people. And if your portal works well, you can sell it to other logistics companies as a product.
The comparison
Your TMS vendor's portal module looks the same at every competitor. An in-house dev team is expensive and hard to find. Our way: software that fits your operation — built by people who have been shipping since 2017.

Case studies
Two examples from our portfolio: platforms that move orders, jobs, and documents every single day — running on the same mechanics that power customer and driver portals.
B2B e-commerce platform with 500+ active users: multichannel selling across Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, with integrated fulfillment and analytics. Today, tens of thousands of orders run through the system every day.

No — in almost every project, the existing systems stay in place. We build portals, apps, and automations that plug in through interfaces: APIs, data exports, or file exchange where nothing else exists. Your dispatchers keep working in the system they know, while your customers and drivers get modern interfaces in front of it. What your TMS can connect to is something we verify in the Potential Analysis — before the quote, not after.
That's exactly what the test phase is for: your dispatchers and drivers work with the system for four weeks before the operation switches over. We watch where they get stuck and keep simplifying until a status update takes two taps and no training. Software your team doesn't use is worthless — which is why we test usability on real tours, not in a conference room.
Hosting is in the EU, GDPR-compliant, on accounts owned by your company. Shipment data, customer master data, and driver data stay under your control — and at any time, you get a full breakdown of every service in use and the running costs. There is no lock-in that only we can undo: code, credentials, and documentation are 100% yours.
Because the quote comes after the analysis: in the free Potential Analysis and the first stage, we take a close look at your processes and systems. You then receive a written scope, a fixed price, and a launch date. Once you sign, that number doesn't move — no matter how many hours we put in. Anything you want on top later gets its own quote with its own fixed price.
For us, AI speeds up writing code — not making decisions. Architecture, data model, and reviews are handled by a human who has been building software for nearly ten years. Every line goes through the same tests and standards as hand-written code — a system your dispatch and invoicing depend on forgives no shortcuts. That way of working is what makes the fixed price and the roughly 90 days possible in the first place, and it's publicly documented in our book (vibecodingbuch.de).
No. After rollout, we stay on to run the system long term: updates, monitoring, further development — your portal keeps running while your trucks keep rolling. A complete handover of code, credentials, and documentation is still possible at any time, including to your own team or another provider. The code is yours at every point — if you never hire us again, you're not missing a thing.
