Digitalization for Romania–UK transport and courier companies
Looking for someone who really understands how a transport company works on the Romania–United Kingdom route? That's me. I've already built complete platforms for three RO-UK companies — colet.app (a courier-management SaaS with 1000+ orders processed weekly and 5 connected order sources), Ami Tour (international transport from Suceava with 25+ SEO pages and 3 integrated platforms), RO-VA Tours (parcel and refrigerated transport RO↔UK on iOS, Android and PWA). Website, mobile app, dispatcher panel, local SEO and Google Business — all built by the same person who understands your process. From RON 2,000 (about €400) for a website, from RON 7,000 (about €1,400) for a complete mobile app.
The real problem: RO-UK transport companies still run on Excel, WhatsApp and the phone
Take a moment and look at how your transport company works today. Orders come in on WhatsApp and the phone, the secretary writes them in Excel, drivers get addresses in the morning when they get into the truck, the end customer has no way to see where their parcel is, and your dispatcher loses hours daily on manual sorting and answering “did you pick up the parcel yet?”. That's how most small and mid-sized courier and transport companies run on Romania–UK, Romania–Italy and Romania–Germany routes. And it's understandable — the existing software for big players (DPD, GLS, FAN) costs tens of thousands of euros a year and is built for volumes that aren't yours.
Search Google now from your phone for “parcel transport UK”, “courier Romania UK”, “passenger transport Romania United Kingdom”, “parcel shipping UK”, “furniture transport Romania England”, “London courier company RO”, “RO-UK courier”, “England parcel delivery”. Look at the first ten results, then open your competitors' sites directly on the phone. You'll see the same pattern: old WordPress-template sites, request forms that send nothing anymore, a complete lack of mobile app, badly maintained GMB, phone numbers that take forever to be picked up because the dispatcher is also juggling WhatsApp. That's the competition — and that's your chance to stand out.
The reality on your side as a company: orders lost because the secretary missed a notification, parcels delivered to wrong addresses because the driver didn't get clear instructions, customers who call ten times a day asking “where's my parcel”, settlements done “from memory” rather than from data, drivers who load the truck wrong because the route isn't optimized, customs officers asking for documents you don't have ready, and the certain loss of a customer at the first incident. All of these can become digital and automated with a properly built platform.
What a good platform for an RO-UK transport company means in 2026: a website with dedicated pages for each route (England–Suceava, Manchester–Bucharest, London–Iași, Birmingham–Cluj, refrigerated Romania–UK), a mobile app for customers (pickup request with parcel photo, real-time tracking with a branded link), a mobile app for drivers (optimized routes, AWB scanning, delivery confirmations), a dispatcher panel (sorting, assignment, financial module), multi-location GMB for each pickup point, plus local SEO for searches where your real customers in Romania and the UK look for you.
That's what I build for transport and courier companies: the complete ecosystem, from website to app to dispatcher panel, in a few weeks, with clear flat pricing. Pricing starts at RON 2,000 (about €400) for a presentation site with route pages, at RON 7,000 (about €1,400) for an iOS + Android app with backend included, plus RON 450 (about €90) for an optimized Google My Business profile. For a company that wants everything (site + app + GMB + SEO + dispatcher panel), we discuss a tailored package. Payment is simple: 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery. We work online; for Romania-based companies I come on site 1-2 times if the project requires it, no extra travel cost.
What you get from me — a complete digital ecosystem for your transport company
I don't just build a site or just an app and leave you to find someone for the rest. The transport-company digitalization package includes everything you need to operate modern, from the first customer contact to the trip settlement.
Site with dedicated pages per route
Separate SEO pages for each route (RO-UK, RO-DE, RO-IT, RO-FR, regional Romania), for each pickup city and for each transport type (parcels, furniture, refrigerated, passengers). That way you show up on Google when the customer searches exactly “parcel transport Iași London” or “furniture move Romania England”, not when they search vaguely “transport”.
Mobile app for customers
iOS + Android from one codebase. Pickup request with parcel photo, real-time tracking with branded link per company, notifications at each status change, order history, optional online payment. Your customer doesn't call anymore — they tap a button.
Mobile app for drivers
Routes optimized with Google Maps (in colet.app: 25+ stops per run), delivery confirmations with digital signature or photo, AWB scanning with the phone camera, real-time status to the dispatcher panel. The driver works from the phone, not from paper slips.
Web dispatcher panel
Order sorting, assignment to drivers and trucks, financial module (per-trip settlements, balances, weekly reports), customer history, integration with invoicing systems. Everything the dispatcher does on Excel today, automated and error-free.
Multiple order sources in one place
In colet.app orders come in from 5 different sources connected to a single platform: admin, driver, the company website, the customer's mobile app, plus a WhatsApp AI agent that automatically extracts addresses and weight from messages and creates the order. That means zero lost orders, no matter how they arrive.
Multi-location GMB and local SEO
Google My Business profile set up and optimized for each pickup point (Bucharest depot, Cluj depot, Iași depot, UK depot), plus SEO pages for each city and each route. For end customers in Romania and the UK searching locally. With RegExpress I delivered 39 SEO pages and multi-location GMB for the Romania–Italy routes.
Publishing in App Store and Google Play
I handle the entire publishing process: developer account (or we use yours), screenshots, store-search-optimized description, privacy forms, code signing, Apple and Google review. Your app appears officially in the stores, accessible to anyone searching for it from Romania or the UK.
Ongoing support and OTA updates
For Capacitor-based apps, content and logic changes reach users in minutes, without waiting two weeks for Apple review. Change a route price, a rule, a string — the user sees the change the next time they open the app.
When needed: I add advanced components without sending you to another vendor — a WhatsApp AI agent for automatic order intake (like colet.app), multi-tenant architecture if you want to sell the platform to other transport companies, integration with accounting or invoicing systems, integration with electronic customs, plus monthly maintenance.
Transparent pricing
Official pricing, exactly as it appears on the pricing page. Payment is split in two: 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery. All packages include a free consultation, 3 design directions to choose from, 30 days of free support and legal invoicing.
Why me, not a generalist developer
There are web and mobile developers everywhere. There are very few who have actually worked in the transport and courier vertical and know why a driver needs a big “delivered” button you can press with winter gloves on, or why the dispatcher needs to see in the panel whether a driver is stuck at customs. Here's what you get when you work with me instead.
3 RO-UK transport projects shipped
Not my first project in the niche. colet.app (SaaS platform for courier companies with 1000+ orders processed weekly), Ami Tour (Suceava international transport with 3 integrated platforms), RO-VA Tours (parcel and refrigerated transport RO↔UK, multi-platform iOS/Android/PWA). Plus RegExpress on Romania–Italy routes with 39 SEO pages. The processes and problems on your new project I've already run into.
End-to-end — site, app, dispatcher panel, SEO, GMB
I build the entire ecosystem, not just the visible part. Site, customer mobile app, driver app, web dispatcher panel, database, SEO and GMB — all with the same technical style and the same person responsible. You don't go hunt for two or three more vendors after I'm done.
Solo, accelerated by AI — fair pricing
I work alone, accelerated by AI (Claude Code and similar tools). You pay for the work, not for offices in Pipera, not for project managers. That means fast delivery (1–2 weeks site, 3–10 weeks complex app), direct communication and an honest quote based on the real complexity of your project.
From the area — Fălticeni, Suceava county
I live in Fălticeni, in northern Moldova. For companies in Suceava, Iași, Botoșani, Bacău, Vaslui and the rest of Moldova I can come on site for the kickoff and the final review, no extra travel cost. For companies in the rest of the country we work online — same way I already work with clients in Italy and on international routes.
Real case: colet.app, SaaS platform for courier companies
The most concrete example I can show is colet.app — a platform I built from scratch for courier companies in Romania, with real users and daily operations on internal and international routes including Romania–UK/EU.
The market for small and mid-sized courier companies ran on Excel, WhatsApp and the phone. Orders were typed into spreadsheets, drivers got addresses by phone in the morning, there was no tracking for the end customer, and dispatchers spent hours daily on manual sorting. Errors came naturally — parcels delivered to wrong addresses, drivers who didn't know what they had to do, customers calling ten times a day to ask where their package was.
I built colet.app — a complete platform for courier companies with three pieces: the mobile app for customers (parcel requests, real-time tracking with a branded link per company), the mobile app for drivers (Google Maps-optimized routes with 25+ stops per run, delivery confirmations, AWB scanning), the web panel for the dispatcher (sorting, assignment, financial module). Orders come in from five different sources connected to a single platform: admin, driver, the company's website, the customer's mobile app, plus a WhatsApp AI agent that automatically extracts addresses and weight from messages and creates the order. Data isolated per company — own branding, independent settings. Tech stack: React, TypeScript, Supabase, Google Maps API, WhatsApp Cloud API, Claude Haiku, Capacitor, iOS.
Numbers verifiable directly on the colet.app portfolio page: 5 order sources connected to a single platform, 25+ stops per route optimized with Google Maps, over 1000 orders processed weekly, 100% automated financial management (settlements, balances, weekly reports), new-company setup in under 30 minutes. Plus the other two transport projects: Ami Tour (Suceava international transport with 25+ SEO pages published, 3 integrated platforms public site + admin panel + mobile-first courier panel, Top 3 Google local and 100% digitized processes) and RO-VA Tours (parcel and refrigerated transport RO↔UK, multi-platform iOS, Android and PWA, plus SEO and GMB) — each built on the same principles: cross-platform, full backend, store publishing, ongoing support.
How I work — from first message to launch
The process is clear and predictable. Here's how a typical engagement runs, from the first message to your platform in production.
Initial conversation
30 minutes by phone or on Google Meet. You tell me how your company runs today, what routes you serve, how many drivers you have, how many orders you process per week, what daily problems hurt the most. I tell you straight which platform is the right answer (sometimes just a site with optimized GMB solves more than you think, see /site-firma-transport) and estimate the cost. Free, no obligation.
Functional map and prototype
I start from your real flows — how you receive the order, how you assign it, how the driver delivers it, how settlement works. You get a functional map and a prototype you can open on your phone, before any code is written. You see exactly what the customer sees, what the driver sees, what the dispatcher sees.
Staged development with weekly demos
1–2 weeks for a standard site, 3–5 weeks for a mobile app, 6–10 weeks for a complete platform with dispatcher panel and WhatsApp agent. At each major milestone you get a preview link where you can see exactly what's done. Payment is split in two: 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery — bank transfer, legal invoice.
Beta testing with your team
Before official launch, the app goes through real testing with your team — with two or three drivers, with the dispatcher, with a few trusted customers. You tell me what doesn't work in real conditions, I adjust. This stage is included, not billed separately.
Launch, training and 30 days support
I push the site live, publish the app in the App Store and Google Play, set up the GMBs, hook up Google Search Console and Google Analytics. Then I train your team — dispatcher, drivers, secretary. The first 30 days after launch are included — fixes, adjustments, monitoring, no extra cost.
Frequently asked questions
How much does full digitalization for a transport company cost?
It depends on what you need. Just a site with route pages: from RON 2,000 (about €400). Site + customer mobile app: from RON 9,000 (about €1,800) total. Complete platform with site + customer app + driver app + dispatcher panel + WhatsApp agent + multi-location GMB: we discuss a tailored package, but it starts around RON 12,000–15,000, with the exact price set after the first call based on complexity. Payment is split in two: 50% on confirmation, 50% on delivery.
Do you work with transport companies outside Suceava county?
Yes, no problem. Most of the collaboration runs online — Google Meet, email, TestFlight links, WhatsApp. For companies in Moldova region (Iași, Botoșani, Bacău, Vaslui) I'm close enough to come on site at no cost. For companies in the rest of the country we work online — I have clients much further (HarmonicSAR in Italy, RO-VA Tours on RO-UK routes, colet.app on multiple routes), so distance isn't a problem.
How long does the platform take to build?
1–2 weeks for a presentation site with route pages. 3–5 weeks for a standard mobile app. 6–10 weeks for a complete platform with dispatcher panel, multiple roles and a WhatsApp agent. We start within 24–48h of confirmation. You get a weekly demo, so you don't wait until the end to see where we are.
What tech do you use and why does it matter for a transport company?
I use Next.js and React for the site (max speed, clean Google indexing), React Native or Capacitor for the mobile app (cross-platform — one codebase for iOS and Android), Supabase for the backend (Postgres, authentication, strict isolation between companies if you build a multi-tenant platform), Google Maps API for route optimization, WhatsApp Cloud API for the AI agent. That means roughly 40% lower development cost compared to separate native apps, two-to-three times faster than WordPress, and simple long-term operations.
Can I integrate the platform with my existing invoicing system?
Yes. I integrate with most common invoicing systems used in Romania (SmartBill, FGO, Saga, Oblio, etc.), with international AWB tracking systems and with online payment systems (Stripe, Netopia, Romcard). If you have a non-standard system, we can integrate via API. We discuss specifics on the first call.
What about maintenance after launch?
The first 30 days are included regardless of package — fixes, small adjustments, monitoring. After that, you pick the right package: for the site, maintenance starts at RON 150/month (basic: domain, hosting, SSL, monitoring) or RON 300/month (full: everything in basic plus 2 hours of monthly changes). For apps without backend: from RON 280/month. For apps with backend: tailored package adapted to complexity and user volume — I send a written quote after we look at the architecture together.
