CLR Auto Transport is a transportation and logistics company that manages vehicle shipments across the country. Their operations depend on coordinating drivers, tracking shipments, and maintaining documentation across a complex supply chain.
As business grew, CLR's existing transportation management system became a bottleneck — outdated technology and missing functionality were limiting their ability to scale operations efficiently.
CLR Auto Transport approached Active Logic with an outdated transportation management system (TMS) lacking essential functionality. Rather than building from scratch or purchasing expensive SaaS solutions, they chose to modernize their existing Laravel legacy system.
The system needed to support mobile workflows for drivers in the field, provide real-time visibility into fleet operations, and generate the reporting needed to manage a growing business — all without disrupting active operations.
Key modernization priorities:
Active Logic modernized CLR's transportation management system from the ground up — upgrading the Laravel backend, building a cross-platform mobile app for drivers, and delivering a web-based TMS with real-time tracking and reporting capabilities.
Updated the existing codebase to the latest version of Laravel, improving security, performance, and long-term maintainability while preserving business logic that had been refined over years of operation.
Built a cross-platform mobile application enabling drivers to log shipments, upload documentation, and submit vehicle inspection photos directly from the field — eliminating paper-based processes and reducing data entry lag.
Created a web-based transportation management system accessible from any location, with GPS-enabled real-time vehicle tracking and customizable report generation for operations management.
The modernized system now supports 100+ compatible devices across CLR's fleet, with over 3,250 hours of development invested in building a platform tailored to their exact operational needs. The cross-platform mobile app streamlined driver workflows, while the web-based TMS gave operations teams full visibility into fleet activity from any location.
By modernizing rather than replacing, CLR preserved years of refined business logic while gaining the modern tooling needed to scale — without the cost or vendor lock-in of off-the-shelf SaaS solutions.
