Small and medium-sized logistics companies often buy software first and then bend their processes to fit it. The result is several systems running in parallel, data entered twice and reports still compiled by hand at month-end. CGD does the opposite: review the processes as they run today, identify where time and money are being lost, and only then select or design software for exactly that point.
The scope runs from consulting to finished products: a phased digital transformation roadmap, specification and design of business software, tools that automate repetitive tasks, data integration between systems, and management dashboards. For work that needs specialist vendors, CGD prepares the requirements, evaluates bids and supervises implementation on behalf of the project owner.
CGD's IT team has experience developing custom logistics software that off-the-shelf products cannot fit: the LogX warehouse management system (WMS) for CF Group and a transport management system (TMS) for Long River. Both started from the users' actual workflows — receiving, issuing, stocktaking, goods locations; vehicle dispatching, trips, documents, freight reconciliation — and only then moved on to writing the software, deploying it and tuning it together with the operators.
Scope of work
- Development of warehouse management (WMS) and transport management (TMS) software tailored to each company's own operations — LogX built for CF Group and a TMS for Long River
- Review of current IT and business processes: warehousing, dispatching, documents, receivables and payables, reporting
- Digital transformation roadmap by stage, with budget, priority order and outcome metrics
- Specification and design of business software: warehouse management, dispatching, yard, customer portal, quotation
- Tools that automate repetitive tasks: document data extraction, reconciliation, payment reminders, periodic reports
- Data integration between accounting, warehouse, transport and customer systems; e-customs connectivity
- Management dashboards: volumes, costs, receivables and payables, daily vehicle and warehouse performance
- Prepare technical requirements, evaluate and select software or automation equipment suppliers, and supervise implementation
- User training, commissioning and post-handover maintenance
Why choose CGD for this work
- Operations first, software second: the same team that advises project owners on planning, design and operation of warehouses, ports and ICDs.
- We have written logistics business software that runs in production, not just advised on it: LogX WMS for CF Group and a TMS for Long River — used daily by warehouses and truck fleets.
- We build and operate the tools on cgd.vn ourselves — budget estimate, site screening, EVM progress reports, AI rendering — so we know what a tool needs to stay alive after handover.
- The CF Group ecosystem includes Aubot, which does warehouse and logistics automation, and Long River, which operates ports — so both the equipment side and the operations side have real counterparts to benchmark against.

Frequently asked questions
If a company already has accounting and warehouse management software, what advice does it still need?
Usually the links between systems and the reporting. Two separate programs still mean double manual entry and reconciliation at month-end; integrating the data and automating reports costs less than buying a new system and shows results right away.
Does CGD write its own software or select off-the-shelf software?
It depends. For common functions such as accounting, we select an existing product and write requirements to choose the right one. For a company's specific needs — multi-client warehouses, route-based vehicle dispatching, client portals, reconciliation tools — CGD's IT team designs and builds custom software that is lean and solves exactly one problem.
What logistics software has CGD built?
Two products are in operation: LogX WMS for CF Group — multi-client warehouse management, receiving, issuing, stocktaking, goods locations — and a TMS for Long River — vehicle dispatching, trips, documents and freight reconciliation. The scope and approach of these two projects are the basis on which CGD takes on similar problems.
Where to start if you don't know what your business is lacking?
From a review session on the current state: follow one shipment from the moment the request arrives to the moment payment is collected, noting every point of manual entry, waiting or rework. That list becomes the digital transformation roadmap, ranked by where the most money is being lost.
