You know what chaos looks like – disjointed systems, endless manual data entry, staff wasting hours updating spreadsheets while shipments sit idle, and customers left waiting, wondering, chasing updates again and again.

Logistics is one of the most fast-paced industries on earth, but too many logistics teams are relying on software that can’t keep up. Legacy systems slow down operations, limit agility, and introduce risk. Even worse? They leave you stuck playing defence instead of leading the game.

But there’s a smarter way forward. And it’s faster than you think.

Enter low-code

Low-code platforms like OutSystems are changing the rules of software development – especially for complex, high-stakes environments like logistics.

Instead of taking months (or years) to build a solution from scratch, low-code platforms allow experienced developers to assemble robust, enterprise-grade applications with speed and flexibility. That means you get powerful, tailored software in weeks, not years.

And when regulations shift, your business model evolves, or new clients come onboard? No problem. Low-code platforms make it easy to change, update and scale without rebuilding the entire system.

Why low-code is a logistics game-changer

✅ Faster time to value

Speed matters. Low-code platforms reduce development time by up to 70%. That means quicker rollouts, faster onboarding, and faster ROI.

✅ Integration made easy

Most logistics companies rely on a tangled web of legacy systems. Low-code lets you plug into what already works – without the pain.

Security baked in


Modern low-code platforms like OutSystems are built with enterprise-grade security and governance, giving you control and peace of mind.

Automation without complication

Think automated document generation, intelligent rules engines, vessel estimators – all built directly into the application, not bolted on as an afterthought.‍

Scalability that keeps up with growth

Low-code apps are designed to scale with your business. Whether you're expanding into new ports, services or markets, your systems won’t hold you back.

MONSON did it. You can too

When shipping specialist MONSON came to us, their existing SaaS solution was outdated and inflexible. They needed something custom – something that could scale globally, adapt fast, and handle complex port call calculations.

We built MB2 using OutSystems: a fully custom, secure, cloud-native logistics platform. The results? Instant productivity boosts, real-time port call estimation, API connectivity, and 140 hours/day saved across their teams.

Award-winning? Yes. But more importantly: real, measurable business value delivered fast.

Low-code isn’t a compromise. It’s an upgrade.

AI isnt coming for developers

At Kiandra, we use AI tools every day to speed up delivery, improve quality, and help our team focus on the work that really matters. AI is a teammate, not a threat. Think of AI like a calculator for coding. It doesn’t replace expertise, it removes the repetitive work so developers can focus on logic, architecture and real-world problem-solving.
