Our Software

Originally developed in 1999 Wheels (then known as Courier Network) was well received by the sameday courier industry.  Having had a courier company ourselves, we were in an ideal situation to develop a low cost package to fulfill the central requirements of a small to medium sized courier company. 

In 2002, we recognized that a number of features that we would like to incorporate would be best realized if we completely re-wrote the package from the ground up.  After reaching an agreement with a transport company servicing clients in the Heathrow area, we set about writing the new Wheels system in co-operation with their personnel.   Not the management, although they had some input, but the people who would be using the software on a day to day basis. 

It is largely thanks to this ongoing consultation that many of the features were incorporated.  Interestingly, some features that we, as programmers, thought would be useful were never used by the end users and ended up being subsequently removed. 

Central to the Wheels system is the rapid entry consignment screen.  This facilitates the creation of a job from a phone call or enquiry in just a few seconds.  Routing and distance are calculated automatically and the route used is displayed prior to the price being set.
