IT for logistics and freight
Logistics IT Never Gets a Day Off
Logistics and freight businesses operate in a 24/7 environment where IT failure has immediate operational consequences. When your TMS goes down, planning stops. When your driver communications fail, deliveries are missed. When your depot connectivity drops, the entire operation grinds to a halt.
Blowfish Technology provides IT support that understands the always-on nature of logistics. We deliver proactive monitoring that catches problems before they affect your operation, fast response times that minimise disruption and the connectivity solutions your depots and drivers need to stay productive.
We work with haulage companies, freight forwarders, last-mile delivery businesses and 3PL providers across the North West – supporting the transport management systems, warehouse management platforms and fleet telematics integrations that modern logistics depends on.
TMS Downtime Stops Operations
Transport management systems are the operational core of any logistics business. When they fail, load planning, driver dispatch and customer communications all stop simultaneously.
Driver Device Management
Drivers using smartphones and tablets for POD capture, navigation and communication create significant management and security challenges if those devices aren’t properly controlled.
Multi-Depot Complexity
Managing IT across multiple depots with different infrastructure creates complexity, inconsistency and gaps that are expensive to maintain without a single experienced partner.
Customer Data and Supply Chain Security
Logistics businesses hold significant customer and consignment data. Larger clients increasingly require Cyber Essentials or similar certification as a condition of their contracts.

Common questions
IT Support for Logistics & Freight – FAQs
Do you work with logistics and freight companies across the North West?
Yes – we support haulage companies, freight forwarders, 3PL providers, last-mile delivery businesses and logistics operators across Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Lancashire and the wider North West. The M62 and M6 corridor is a major logistics hub, and our IT support is built for the always-on nature of freight and transport operations.
Which TMS and warehouse management systems do you support?
We support the infrastructure for all major transport and warehouse management platforms including Mandata, TruckStar, Descartes, Freight Fax, Blue Yonder, Manhattan Associates, Microlise, Paragon and Fleetmatics. We work with your software vendor for application-level issues and focus on keeping the servers, network and integrations that support them fully reliable.
Can you provide 24/7 support for our operation?
Our proactive monitoring runs 24/7 – so if a system goes down at 3am, we know before you do. Emergency support is available for critical incidents outside standard business hours as part of our managed IT service. This matters for operations that dispatch overnight, run early morning trunking or handle time-critical deliveries.
How do you manage driver devices and mobile fleets?
We enrol driver smartphones and tablets into Microsoft Intune, applying security policies, remote wipe, application control and consistent configuration. This ensures your operational apps (POD capture, navigation, communication) are properly managed and your business data is protected on every device, even if a device is lost, stolen or damaged.
Our client is asking for Cyber Essentials – can you help?
Yes. Larger shippers, retailers and public sector clients increasingly require Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification from their supply chain, including logistics partners. We help logistics businesses achieve certification quickly – typically within 4 to 6 weeks – working with CyberSmart as our certification body and handling the technical changes, evidence collection and submission for you.
