We build tech for companies that move goods and money.
CrunchCode is an engineering team focused on supply chain and logistics. We work across carrier integrations, WMS and TMS, EDI, warehouse operations, rating, accessorials, freight audit and payment. We take defined engineering problems from architecture through production.

Engineers who already know logistics. Three ways to put them to work.
Senior engineers on your team
staff augmentationSenior engineers who have already worked inside WMS, TMS and EDI join your backlog under your tech lead. They start from carrier throttling, ASN discrepancies and rate tables — not from a glossary. On your team in about two weeks.
Tell us the roleCustom software delivery
full-cycle or modularA complete product built from discovery to release, or one defined piece inside your platform: a carrier integration layer, a portal for your shippers, a billing engine, a courier app. Built by people who know what breaks at peak.

In logistics, a software failure is a physical event.
A broken rate call is a truck that does not leave.
A silent EDI failure is a retail chargeback three weeks later.
A slow query is a dock door standing idle.
We do not treat these as tickets. We treat them as freight that has stopped moving.
What we fix
Five things break in this industry. We have shipped fixes for all five.
01
Integrations and interoperability
Carrier APIs, EDI trading partners, marketplace connectors, rate shopping. The layer where everybody’s roadmap goes to die.
ASN discrepancy 4% → 0.3%; five courier partners unified on one integration layer.
02
Warehouse and fulfillment performance
Pick paths, order routing, WMS queries that time out at peak, dock and yard throughput.
Analytical queries 4–7 min → 8 sec across 3.2B migrated rows, zero downtime.
03
Transportation margin and freight audit
Invoice reconciliation, accessorial leakage, rate integrity, billing you cannot currently prove.
Freight-audit recovery up 8×.
04
AI — audited, then put to work
An audit led by our AI CTO: what each model, AI vendor and LLM bill costs, what it returns, and what blocks production. Then the useful work moves into production (forecasting, carrier-invoice classification and computer vision), and the rest gets fixed or switched off.
AI spend $42,500 → $16,000/mo, −62% (C10). $2.3M in working capital released (C12).
AI CTO →05
Specialized operational intelligence
Terminal, yard, and cargo problems that off-the-shelf models do not solve.
340+ documentation discrepancies a month caught before customs clearance (C11).
The domain is the differentiator.
You can hire generic engineers anywhere, and you have. The cost is not the hourly rate; it is the domain ramp and the decisions made before it is complete.
We work in supply chain and logistics. Carrier throttling, ASN discrepancies, peak windows, and versioned rate tables are the starting context, not billable discovery. When one carrier's API change took a client's rating down for three weeks, we put every carrier behind one adapter layer, with a circuit breaker per carrier, so one can fail without stopping the rest.

Open books. On-call when production is in scope. Two weeks to start.
Open-book, cost-plus pricing.
You see what the work costs and what we add. No blended-rate fog.
24/7 on-call when production is in scope.
We staff the rotation as part of the engagement and price it in the open. At one 3PL hub it closed 100% of night incidents with no client involvement.
Two weeks from signature to first commit.
A first candidate to interview within 1–2 days. We hire for each engagement from a network of engineers we already know, and you interview every engineer before anyone starts.
