BitLab transformed a flawed, manual tracking process into a fully operational logistics platform in under 90 days.

Challenges  

Challenges

Rory, the founder and CEO of OneBridge Logistics, set out to modernize and streamline the company’s logistics operations through technology — building internal tracking systems to improve visibility and reduce operational inefficiencies.

Despite a strong business model and clear demand from clients for tracking capabilities, several key challenges stood in the way:

1) Lack of Logistics-Specific Insight

  • Vendors could not grasp OneBridge’s unique B2B freight challenges or the nuances of on-time delivery penalties and ELD integrations.
  • There was no effort to tailor software around real-world logistics operations, leaving OneBridge to do all the heavy lifting in translating business needs into specs.

2) Fragmented Tech Stack & Support Gaps

  • Without a unified technical strategy, OneBridge relied on disjointed systems and third-party tools, resulting in inefficiencies and recurring downtime.
  • No partner took ownership of security, compliance, or platform stability—leading to persistent vulnerabilities and lost productivity.

BitLab Didn't Just Build—They Challenged Us to Rethink Everything

“BitLab asked questions that made us rethink our entire business. No one else ever did that—and it changed how we operate.”

Recognizing the need for a strategic partner, Rory engaged BitLab to build a technology roadmap, deliver core software systems, and modernize OneBridge’s infrastructure.

BitLab’s contributions included:

1) Fractional CTO Leadership and Embedded Strategy

  • Shoukri acted as a long-term fractional CTO for OneBridge, not just building tech but also aligning technical execution with real business outcomes.
  • From the start, Shoukri and the BitLab team asked strategic questions that helped reshape OneBridge’s internal processes and long-term vision.

2) Rapid Productization of Internal Tools

  • BitLab transformed a fragmented, manual tracking process into a fully operational logistics platform in under 90 days.
  • The system integrated both hardware and software, including geofencing and truck-mounted sensors, to provide real-time shipment visibility.
  • The development also included a proprietary emulator to test geolocation logic without deploying trucks—saving significant time and cost.

3) Business-Protecting Logistics Technology

  • BitLab’s tracking platform helped OneBridge retain major clients by delivering the real-time visibility those clients demanded.
  • The system built reduced warehouse fines by providing undeniable proof of on-time arrivals—preserving relationships and revenue.
  • The technology directly contributed to customer retention, reduced penalties, and stronger operational credibility.

“Shoukri (CEO of BitLab) wasn’t just a tech lead. He was a business partner, a strategist, and sometimes even a coach. That level of support is rare.”
