A professionally designed booklet titled "Future ready logistics: How low-code and AI are redefining transport software" lies on a dark purple surface with magenta lines. The cover features a man in a warehouse or control room using a laptop, with the Kiandra logo in the bottom right corner. The subtitle reads, "A guide for transport and logistics leaders."

The logistics and transport industry is under more pressure than ever: rising costs, tighter delivery windows, and growing compliance demands – all while customer expectations keep climbing.

Many logistics operators are still relying on ageing systems, Excel spreadsheets, or SaaS platforms that weren’t built for their unique processes. And while everyone knows modernisation is essential, it can feel risky.

That’s why we created this practical, no-fluff guide.

It’s built from 30+ years of experience delivering high-stakes systems for leading logistics and transport companies.

What’s inside the guide?

This is more than a high-level overview. It’s a detailed, experience-backed playbook that covers:

1. Real-world delivery

How MONSON replaced spreadsheets and legacy tools with a fully custom logistics platform that now saves 140 hours a day.

2. Low-code myths, debunked

Think low-code isn’t secure or scalable? Think again. We unpack the top 5 misconceptions and share the facts from the field.

3. How AI helps (not replaces) your team

AI boosts productivity, speeds up legacy code discovery, and reduces bugs without removing developers from the process.

4. How to assess your readiness

Use our checklist to assess if your systems are ready for AI-assisted development.

5. Why modernisation projects fail

We break down the common causes and how to avoid them with the right tools and team.

6. What to look for in a partner

From ethics to architecture, we outline how to choose a delivery partner who can navigate compliance, complexity and scale.
