This website is a content management system built around my business, providing easy navigation for customers, giving you exactly what you need - a price for your delivery and a section where you can download proof of delivery images.
While the website is basic in its looks, under the hood is what makes it technologically superior to other logistics frameworks. Many of the features use OpenAI, and the quotation system uses a combination of AI and the Google Maps API, to provide highly accurate route planning. The system was built to be honest, providing highly competative prices.
It's a simple calculation, but everything starts with the postcode.
The database include more than 3Million postcodes, though for the purpose of the calculation, they're not used, rather I use the postcode to find the Longitude and Latitude coordinates.
Using the Google Maps API, a route is created, along with a distance, from here we calculate the amount of diesel used (current prices and vehicle efficiency), and I add a / hour labour cost, that's it, the equation is;
$totalCost = ($distance * $fuelCostPerMile) + ($distance / 56 * $labourCostPerHour)
And if you're thinking 56MPH can't be correct, it's actually very generous, as my average speed is around 27MPH, as the majority of the time, I'm driving in city centres.
In logistics, speed and accuracy are everything — especially when it comes to pricing. Traditional quotation systems rely on static tables, generic rate cards, and manual calculations. These methods are slow, often inaccurate, and prone to under- or over-charging.
AI is changing that — fast.
Quote Calculator processes real-time variables like:
Instead of a flat rate per mile or postcode banding, my software calculates true operational cost, tailored to each job. This reduces pricing errors, especially on long-distance or time-sensitive work.
While my normal process is to send the images by text once I've complete a job, using the back end of this system, I add the job details, and upload the proof images.
Once the job is marked as complete, you'll be sent an auto email, containing an access code and a link to a page to see when the job was completed, along with the proof of delivery images.
This data is historic and goes all the way back to first job I did for you, so any discrepancies, you have easy access to categoric proof your items were delivered.
My normal practice is to round down to the nearest £10, so a quote for £157.63, will be £150.
