A practical stack with senior oversight.

The design and engineering tools we use to build dispatch CRMs, B2B SaaS, dashboards, and finance integrations - chosen for maintainability, with people approving what ships.

Technology stack for custom trucking software, SaaS platforms, and integrations

Who it's for

Product owners, ops leaders, and founders scoping custom software - trucking dispatch, multi-tenant SaaS, finance sync, or internal ops tools.

What this stack builds

Dispatch consoles, driver apps, admin dashboards, customer portals, API connectors, and automation - production surfaces your team runs daily, not a logo directory.

How we choose

Match the tool to the workflow and your team's capacity. Custom when architecture matters; no-code when validation speed wins - same human oversight either way.

KRIVA is a product, UI/UX, and engineering studio. You own the code, designs, and documentation after launch. See About for how we work with US, UK, UAE, and Canada teams.

Stack

Technologies we work with daily

Grouped by the job each layer does - from Figma kits to Postgres APIs - with links to the services and solutions where these tools show up in production.

01 · Design

The kit before the repo

Design systems, onboarding flows, and ops UI in Figma before a line of code - so engineering ships tokens, not guesses.

Product design & UX →
  • Figma
  • Framer
  • FigJam
  • Design systems

02 · Frontend

Interfaces engineering can ship

Next.js and React apps for multi-tenant SaaS, marketing sites, and customer portals - shared Tailwind tokens from the design kit.

Web development →
  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS

03 · Mobile

One thumb. One job.

Field-first mobile for drivers, carriers, and consumers - load acceptance, stop progression, and offline-tolerant sync on weak yard signal.

Driver mobile apps →
  • React Native
  • Flutter
  • iOS & Android UI

04 · Backend

APIs with clear errors

Node and Python APIs with PostgreSQL as source of truth - idempotent writes, queue workers, and error states ops and finance can act on.

CRM & ops consoles →
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis

05 · AI & Automation

Faster drafts. A person still signs.

Draft acceleration for code, copy, and Make scenarios - always behind a human review gate before anything reaches production.

AI-assisted development →
  • Claude
  • ChatGPT
  • GitHub Copilot
  • Make
  • Cursor

06 · No-Code

Honest MVPs when custom is not first

Validation MVPs on Webflow or Bubble when speed beats custom architecture - with a clear path to code when traction shows.

No-code / low-code →
  • Webflow
  • Bubble
  • Framer
  • Zapier

Integrations

Connects to the systems you already run.

TMS, accounting, partner APIs, and webhooks - with visible retries and reconciliation states, not silent drift.

Integrations & APIs →

Accounting & finance

  • Invoice and payment sync to QuickBooks or Xero
  • Reconciliation counts finance can audit
  • Retry queues when an API write fails

QuickBooks Xero QuickBooks & Xero

Accounting integrations →

TMS & ops platforms

  • Custom consoles beside existing TMS or CRM
  • Load, dispatch, and status APIs
  • Module-by-module replacement paths
Trucking & logistics →

Automation & webhooks

  • Make and Zapier for human-gated workflows
  • Webhook handlers with signed payloads
  • Internal tooling and document pipelines
Automation workflows →

In production

Stack choices from shipped work.

These are the tools behind live products - not a wish list. Each links to a case study and the service it supports.

Trucking · React + Node

ShiftRail dispatch CRM

Next.js console beside legacy TMS - bulk assign, row-level SLA, and Postgres as source of truth for 400+ daily routes.

ShiftRail case study →
SaaS · Next.js + PostgreSQL

PayrollPro onboarding

Role-based onboarding and permission clarity after SSO - progressive paths and design-system tokens from Figma to production.

PayrollPro case study →
Finance · Node + QuickBooks

FinanceSync reconciliation

QuickBooks and Xero connectors with idempotent writes, retry states, and reconciliation counts finance teams trust.

FinanceSync case study →

Oversight

People approve what ships.

Tools speed the work. A senior person still reviews the interface, the API write, and the automation - the same rule as our delivery gates.
