Dispatch and Shipment Planning
Plan dispatch based on production schedules, order priorities, routes, and transport capacity.
Mineral Supply Chain & Logistics Automation Platform
We build logistics platforms that bring predictability and real-time control to mineral movement.
Context
Mineral supply chains involve multiple handoffs across mines, transporters, stockyards, ports, and end customers. Each stage depends on coordination, timing, and accurate information flow. When visibility breaks at any point, delays quickly cascade into demurrage charges, missed shipments, and margin loss. Many operations still rely on manual coordination and fragmented systems, making it difficult to manage growing volumes. A unified logistics platform connects these stages into a single operational view, enabling better planning, tracking, and execution across the entire supply chain.
Who this is for
We usually work best with teams who know building software is more than just shipping code.
This is for teams who
Mining companies managing bulk material logistics operations
Mineral traders and exporters handling large shipment volumes
Logistics providers coordinating multi-leg transport operations
Port and stockyard operators managing inbound and outbound flows
This may not fit for
Low-volume commodity operations with simple logistics needs
Teams relying entirely on manual coordination without system adoption
Organizations looking only for reporting without execution systems
Short-term projects without long-term operational ownership
Problem framing
The operating reality
Mineral logistics breaks down without end-to-end visibility
In many mineral operations, dispatch planning is handled manually using spreadsheets, while coordination between transporters, yards, and ports happens through calls and emails. Shipment locations are often unclear once they leave the mine, and updates are delayed or inconsistent. Port and yard operations react to incoming loads rather than planning proactively. Exceptions such as delays, congestion, or missed schedules are identified too late to take corrective action. As volumes increase, these inefficiencies lead to higher demurrage costs, delivery failures, and operational stress across teams.
How this is usually solved (and why it breaks)
Common approaches
Plan dispatch using spreadsheets and manual coordination
Rely on calls and emails for shipment status updates
Operate disconnected systems for transport, yards, and ports
Identify delays only after penalties or disruptions occur
Where these approaches fall short
Limited visibility from mine to final delivery point
High demurrage and delay-related costs
Inefficient coordination across multiple partners
Lack of actionable data for improving logistics performance

02
Multi-Leg Transport Tracking
Track road, rail, and sea movements with real-time status updates and exception alerts.
03
Stockyard and Port Coordination
Provide visibility into yard inventory, gate operations, and vessel or loading schedules.
04
Order and Delivery Management
Link customer orders with dispatch and track deliveries with proof of completion and updates.
05
Cost and Demurrage Visibility
Monitor freight costs, turnaround times, and delay-related penalties to improve cost control.
06
Partner and System Integration
Integrate fleet systems, port platforms, and ERP systems through secure APIs.
How we approach delivery
01
Map end-to-end logistics workflows from mine to customer delivery
02
Design real-time tracking across all transport and handling stages
03
Enable proactive alerts and exception management for delays
04
Integrate production, transport, yard, and port systems into one platform
Engineering standards at PySquad
We design mineral logistics platforms around real execution workflows from mine to customer. Our approach connects production, dispatch, transport, stockyards, and port operations into a single system. We focus on real-time tracking, structured workflows, and proactive exception handling so teams can act early instead of reacting late. The platform integrates with existing systems and partners, ensuring accurate data flow and operational control across every stage of the supply chain.
Expected outcomes
Measurable results teams plan for when we ship the full stack, integrations, and governance together.
01
Improved on-time delivery and shipment reliability
02
Reduced demurrage and overall logistics costs
03
Clear visibility across all stages of the supply chain
04
Scalable operations that handle growing shipment volumes efficiently

About PySquad
Short answers if you are deciding who builds and supports this kind of work.
- What is PySquad?
- We are a software engineering team. PySquad works with people who run complex operations and need tools that fit how they work, not software that forces them to change everything overnight.
- What do you get from us on a project like this?
- Discovery, build, integrations, testing, release, and follow up when real users are in the product. You talk to engineers and leads who own the outcome, not a rotating cast of handoffs.
- Who do we work with most often?
- Teams in logistics, marketplaces, marina, aviation, fintech, healthcare, manufacturing, and other fields where downtime hurts and clarity matters. If that sounds like your world, we are easy to talk to.
