Horizon Freight
Freight operations, minus the spreadsheets
A logistics operations platform that replaced 40+ spreadsheets with one real-time dashboard for a UK freight forwarder moving 12,000 shipments a year.
Purpose-built platforms that scale with your business.
Off-the-shelf tools got you here; they will not get you further. We build internal platforms, client portals, and full SaaS products around the way your business actually works — replacing spreadsheet sprawl and swivel-chair admin with software your team opens every morning.
Expect boring, dependable engineering: typed codebases, automated tests, staged deployments, and documentation. Software that a future team — ours or anyone else's — can pick up without archaeology.
What's included
Every custom software & saas engagement covers the fundamentals — nothing billed as an extra that should have been standard.
Product discovery, scoping and technical architecture
Multi-tenant SaaS platforms with billing
Internal tools, dashboards and client portals
Role-based access control and audit trails
Third-party API and legacy system integration
Automated testing and CI/CD pipelines
How we run it
The same four-step rhythm on every engagement — short enough to stay honest, structured enough to be predictable.
Scope
A short discovery sprint that fixes goals, budget and the smallest build that proves value.
Design
Flows, wireframes and a UI system agreed before any production code is written.
Build
Weekly shippable increments on a staging URL you can click — not slide decks.
Iterate
Post-launch measurement, fixes and a roadmap for what earns its place next.

Questions, answered
The things every client asks before the first call — answered the way we'd answer them on the call.
Honest answer: it depends on scope, but our pricing sits in clear bands. Focused builds start at £2,000–£5,000, most full projects land between £5,000 and £15,000, and larger multi-phase platforms go beyond £15,000. After one scoping call you get a fixed, itemised quote — no day-rate ambiguity, no surprise invoices.
