Web development for Chicago — the capital of American freight

Chicago moves more freight than any city on the continent. We build quoting portals, carrier onboarding flows and B2B platforms for logistics and industrial companies — and we run our own trucking management system in production, so we speak the language.

Software for the city that ships everything

Chicago isn't a market we studied — it's one we operate in. Our flagship product, MyTMS, is a cross-border transportation management system running live carrier operations: loads, dispatch, driver apps, rate confirmations, invoicing. When a Chicago 3PL or freight broker asks us to build a quoting portal, we don't need a glossary. We know what a rate con is, why detention matters, and what dispatchers actually click at 6 a.m.

That operator's perspective shapes everything we build here. Manufacturing firms along the I-55 corridor get dealer portals that handle real pricing tiers. Brokers get carrier onboarding that verifies documents instead of collecting PDFs in an inbox. Industrial distributors get catalogs their customers can actually search.

  • Freight and logistics portals: quoting, tracking, carrier onboarding
  • B2B catalogs with tiered pricing and account-based ordering
  • Manufacturing and distributor sites that generate real RFQs
  • Internal tools that replace spreadsheet-and-email workflows
  • Integrations with the TMSs, ERPs and ELDs you already run
  • Marketing sites with the technical SEO to rank in a crowded market

Practical engineering for practical buyers

Chicago buyers are famously unsentimental: show me it works, show me the price, don't waste my time. We run projects the same way. You get a written scope with a fixed price, weekly demos of running software, and a launch date we hit. When something's not worth building, we say so — a reputation for straight answers is worth more to us than one inflated invoice.

We're one hour behind you (Toronto, Eastern Time) and invoice in USD with a W-8BEN for your records. Canadian rates mean senior engineers at Midwest-friendly prices — typically 30–40% below comparable Chicago agencies for the same seniority.

What a Chicago engagement looks like

A B2B marketing site typically runs four to six weeks from kickoff. A quoting portal or integration-heavy platform runs eight to sixteen, with the first working version in your hands by week four. We integrate rather than replace: your TMS, your ERP, your CRM stay in place — we build the layer that makes them useful to customers and staff.

Post-launch, most Chicago clients keep a small monthly retainer for improvements and support. When you're ready to automate the workflows behind the site — quote follow-up, document processing, status notifications — our AI automation practice picks up from there.

Web Development in Chicago — common questions

We run a cross-border TMS in production — real carriers, real loads, real driver app. Rate confirmations, accessorials, detention, ELD data: that's our daily vocabulary. Chicago freight companies don't have to educate us before we can help them.

B2B marketing sites typically run US$8k–18k. Quoting portals and integration-heavy platforms run US$25k–80k depending on scope. Fixed quotes after discovery, invoiced in USD — and Canadian rates usually land well below Chicago agency pricing.

We're in Toronto — one hour ahead of Chicago. Your morning is our morning; demos, calls and launch support all happen in your business day. Most projects run entirely on video calls and Slack, with weekly working demos.

Yes — that's most of the work we do. We build against the APIs of major TMS, ERP and accounting platforms, and we're comfortable with older systems that need file-based or database-level integration. You keep your systems; we make them talk to customers.

Senior engineers at a 30–40% lower rate, same language, one hour of time-zone offset, and a team that runs its own freight software. You trade a downtown Chicago address for better economics and operators who know your industry.
