Database Development & Maintenance

The data layer under the systems that bill the loads.

Rates, tenders, status events, inventory, entries, invoices — a logistics operator’s margin lives in its database, and so do most of its reconciliation problems. We develop, tune, and maintain the SQL Server and reporting layer beneath your TMS, WMS, dispatch, and customs systems, and we diagnose the data problems nobody else can trace.

What we do

Development, performance, reliability, reporting.

SQL development

Stored procedures, functions, views, and query optimization — including the rating, settlement, and allocation logic that lives in the database rather than the application.

ETL development & support

Improving data ingestion, transformation, validation, and load processes between your TMS, WMS, ERP, EDI translator, and trading-partner feeds, for accuracy, consistency, and auditability across systems.

Reusable script templates

Standardized, documented scripts for the recurring jobs — month-end exports, partner onboarding, rate-table refreshes — so the work stops depending on one person’s folder.

SQL Server maintenance & optimization

Performance analysis, index and plan tuning, maintenance plans, backup and restore verification, and the capacity headroom a growing partner list requires.

Database health assessments

A documented assessment of a production database’s health, risks, and remediation recommendations — often the first thing we do inside a diagnostic.

Business intelligence & reporting

Microsoft Power BI and paginated (SSRS-style) reports: on-time performance, tender acceptance, chargebacks, yard dwell, billing accuracy — the numbers your shippers now judge you on.

Data reliability & diagnostics

Root-cause analysis across reporting, ETL, and downstream data flows when the invoice, the status feed, and the spreadsheet disagree.

Production lockdown

Separating production databases from development environments, credential hygiene, and access review — part of the security posture every custody engagement carries.
