Logistics Software Decision Guide
Logistics Industry leaders face a decision when it comes to software: should they build it or buy it?
Off-the-shelf solutions may almost fit your needs. Should you spend more for custom logistics software bespoke to your operation?
There are pros and cons to both approaches. But how do you weigh them in your particular case? At the end of the day, the decision comes down to cost and control.
Our free guide for logistics leaders helps them weigh the benefits and costs of each decision.

20 years’ experience has taught us how to help you make the right choices for your users and your bottom line.
First, we help our clients in the logistics space ensure they build the right software. We do this using a proven process informed by Human-Centered Design principles.
Then we transform those findings into functioning software, released to clients in two-week increments.
We supply design, development, and delivery expertise together. That means you spend less time managing vendors and more time delivering impact.
Atomic prizes transparency, and clients who engage with us feel that. Each team tracks project progress against the remaining budget. If any problems arise, the team surfaces them. No surprises.
That’s why our clients give us top marks for quality and satisfaction:

Our clients appreciate us for adapting our process to what works best for them. We won’t shoehorn you into an inefficient process that doesn’t match what you're trying to accomplish. Our clients are busy, and they insist on transparency and value across the entire software creation process. We deliver.
