Pressured by inflation, trucking logistics companies now face an imminent need to cut costs. In this effort, many will rethink their information technology budget. Over the last two years, companies have been required to adapt to a reality in which technology is necessary for business growth. How can companies leverage the latest technology tools to reduce software development budgets while keeping projects afloat?

APIs

APIs are software connector protocols where data can easily flow in the cloud. When planning the scope of a new software project, companies must think about how to use APIs to avoid duplicating data and workflows already in place in other software. This can save money on the software project, make the end product more efficient, and focus development on the new challenge it aims to overcome.

Low-Code and No-Code

Low-code is a software development concept in which the engineering team uses platforms to build software with little or, in the case of no-code, no need to write lines of code. One upside of using this framework is the easiness with which solutions are built. One downside, however, is that the company needs to select the right platform for the solution it will build. Depending on its intended use, the end product might need more flexibility to achieve the desired end goal. Moreover, trucking logistics companies can leverage the use of low-code and no-code initiatives by partnering with consulting companies offering low-code and no-code centers of excellence.

Conclusion

Trucking logistics companies’ executives need to learn and understand (on a broader level) new software development technologies. This is especially necessary when it can relieve indirect costs while keeping software initiatives afloat. Technological platforms and consulting companies can partner with trucking logistics companies to support initiatives with well-defined goals and expectations to deliver a cost-efficient end product.
