The difference
Logistics, without the operational burden.
Automated order intake
Orders flow from your system into Steadhand through a connection we establish with you. Nothing is entered twice.
Transport, configured once
Whether you operate your own vehicles or use carriers today, transport is configured once and managed by Steadhand. No planning, pricing or booking for each delivery.
Verified before dispatch
Incomplete orders are held and resolved before a vehicle is sent.
Designed to save
Each package is measured against your current logistics costs, with a monthly saving as the objective. How pricing works
Live tracking
Real-time status of every delivery in progress, through your portal.
Scan-out and proof of delivery
Every item scanned at dispatch and again on arrival.
Arrival updates
Advance notice to the sites you supply when stock is on its way.
Load planning
Orders grouped so that every vehicle runs at full capacity.
Standard integrations
Direct integration with widely used ordering and stock systems.
Performance reporting
A monthly report on deliveries completed, on-time performance and issues resolved.
Capabilities are introduced in stages as each client is onboarded.
How it works
You place the order. We automate the rest.
