For unique requirements or operations that don't fit the mould, Origin's development team customises our products or builds bespoke systems to match exactly how you work. Custom systems are where Origin came from.
Custom work means different things to different vendors. Here is what it means when you partner with our engineering team.
Our developers, designers and architects work with you directly. No account managers in between.
Your pricing, your planning, your rules, your customers. We don't ask you to change how you work to suit the software.
Everything we build sits on the Origin platform, the same one running our products. You get the reliability of proven infrastructure with the specific parts built for you.
Every job starts on the same platform. Where it goes from there depends on how close your operation is to a product fit.
Most operations don't need a build from scratch. They need a solid product, Origin TMS, CFS, Portal or Finance, adjusted to handle the things that make their business different. Standard setup is included. Anything beyond that is development work, supported by us.
For operations that don't fit a productised solution, we build from scratch on the Origin platform. Vehicle logistics. Rail. Specialised transport. Months to go live, not years, because the platform handles the foundations and we focus on what's specific to you.
Custom software used to mean long timelines, big budgets and quality you only found out about after go-live. That's changed. Our engineers use AI through every stage of delivery: to map requirements, surface edge cases, generate working software, and test it as we build. The judgement stays with our team. The grunt work gets done faster.
The result: lower cost, shorter timelines, and higher quality than custom delivery used to allow.
Three operations where the standard products weren't enough.
First Security needed a system to handle prisoner transport across New Zealand. Nothing off the shelf came close: the safety, security and operational rules are specific to the job. We built it on the Origin platform.
Qube took on the job of running rail logistics for BlueScope. Rail doesn't work like road and general transport products don't handle it well. We built a system designed for how rail actually moves.
HWR run a mixed operation across livestock, bulk, cement, fuel and stations. No single product covered all of it. We built mytransport: job creation, planning, rating, customer portal and in-cab apps. It runs the whole business.
We've built logistics software for thirty years and it's all we do. Transport, warehousing, freight, distribution, specialised operations. If you're moving freight, running fleets or managing warehouses, we should talk. If you're not, we're not the right people.
What operators usually want to know.
Most custom jobs start with one of these. They're the foundation we build on.
Bring us the requirements, the exceptions, the bits that don't fit anywhere else. We'll tell you what we'd build.
