Send to friend

Eventually, the very concept of mobile app development has grown out to be much wider and greater than it used to be more than a decade ago.

The constant updation and evolution in the app market have led many businesses to opt for this very technology as an inevitable part of their business model. 

In the constant evolution made in the different industries, today it has not left behind from spreading its vision to the logistics and transport industry as well. The technology integration has led this very sector to experience innovative ways to carry out shipping and deliveries in an efficient manner. 

Today, logistics companies are able to automate their operations and supervise the processes to help and manage the transport optimization and load management with great help.

However, despite having numerous benefits, mobile apps have yet to explode in the logistics industry, and you would be surprised to know the reason behind it.

Yes, it is all due to the set of misinformation that has surrounded the mobile app development, leaving behind some serious consequences for the logistics companies. In the absence of a mobile app, logistics businesses are not just complicating their operations but losing deals from demanding users for their services.

Do you want to know more about those myths, so you can avoid facing the glitch?

Here in this post, we have brought you a list of the most common but significant logistics app development myths that might be disturbing your business flow right now.

Let’s take a look ahead…

Myth- Developing logistics apps is a long-drawn-out process

App development is a time-consuming journey no doubt in that, but considering only the logistic app solution to be a long-drawn-out solution is a misconception in its true sense. With the integration of the latest technology trends, you can reduce the development time to a great extent, where the reusability of the code helps one app code to work on another app platform effortlessly. Hence, it is wrong to say that it is a tedious process because the inclusion of new technology trends can change the face of technology to a great extent, making it shorter and engaging for your business.

Myth- For logistic business apps are not mandatory

Just because you are dealing in the logistics and transportation industry, it doesn’t suffice that your business has no need for a mobile app. A mobile app is all about bringing convenience and comfort to your consumers, truck drivers, vendors, and other people dealing. The opportunities an app brings to your business are endless, it not just automates the tasks, but also gives you a new reason to reach out to a wider user-base.

Myth- Logistic apps are built on a fixed time frame

Correlating the app development time with the industry type, is one of the most unusual misconceptions, as it has got nothing to do with the app type. You must remember that a mobile app no matter which industry type, has nothing to do with the fixed time frame. Every mobile app has to go through different development steps depending on the type of technology and functionalities within it. No matter what is the industry type your app development time depends on these factors. After knowing your app concept, your developer gives you an estimated time frame to get a scalable app solution to come into existence.

Myth- Logistics apps are cheaper than other applications

Just because you are dealing with the logistics app solutions, doesn’t mean that your app is going to less expensive. You need to understand the concept of costing for your logistic app solution, which simply suggests that mobile app cost has nothing to do with the industry type, but simply has to be done on the basis of many factors. And sorry to say but your app industry is not on the list.

The cost of your app depends on the features, functionalities, OSs, technology type, and many other factors, so don’t think if you have an app built for the logistics industry then it will be having less cost.

If you want your app cost to be controlled, then you need to get in touch with your chosen developer to launch the MVP plan initially and build a successful app solution.

Myth- App deployment is the end of the story

C’mon, this is one of the most ignorant pieces of information I have heard of. Logistics apps just like any other app portal require the marketing and maintenance on a regular basis, and you cannot think of it as an uploaded and forgotten episode of your life. Once your app is deployed, a new chapter starts for your logistic app, and then you need to keep a check on the bugs and the updates to be made, so the mobile app does not become a forgotten piece of your business, but turns out to be an inevitable part of your business model, with the constant updates.

Final words

You must not forget that transportation and logistics companies build their businesses based on detailed planning and timely execution. Hence the integration of a mobile app in your business model is not a choice but the necessity that helps it grow out of bounds. The integration of mobile apps in your logistics business helps you collect, manage, and send data to relevant resources without any delay. 

Above mentioned are some of the myths that have surrounded the logistics mobile app development field. And you need to burst these misconceptions to save your business from getting lost in the competition.
