Transport & Logistics

Keep operations
connected.

We design networks, platforms and security around distributed operations: depots, warehouses, mobile teams and the services that coordinate their work.

Illustrative transport & logistics environment

Operational flow

Keep the application path aligned with the physical work.

Distributed resilience

Account for local conditions and shared dependencies.

Controlled change

Plan migrations around shifts and operating windows.

What Quokka brings

Connect the work.
From site to service.

A working link is only one part of a working operation. We bring physical infrastructure, wireless, routing, security and application dependencies into one design, then test it against the way each location works.

Build for the site as it operates.

We design wired and wireless connectivity around device movement, coverage, capacity and the physical environment. Cabinets, power and cabling are part of the scope, alongside handhelds, workstations and operational equipment.

Join up distributed services.

We connect sites, central applications and cloud services with deliberate routing and security boundaries. We identify shared dependencies and plan link diversity, load sharing and available capacity around the impact of interruption.

Support automation and connected equipment.

We provide the connectivity and integration foundations for telemetry, warehouse automation and connected services. Timing, data exchange and ownership are agreed with the application and equipment teams, including what needs to remain local.

Plan for interruption and reconnection.

We work through which tasks can continue, queue or stop when a dependency fails. Recovery and record reconciliation are agreed with system owners, with staged migration and acceptance checks around real operating windows.

The site is connected.
The work still needs to continue.

We design the network and recovery plan around each location’s dependence on central applications. Explore the normal path and what changes when a site loses its connection.

Shared services

Applications and data coordinate work across sites.

Site connections

Each depot has its own connection and failure conditions.

Local operations

Define safe continuation, queued work and stop conditions.

Reconnection

Check the recovery and reconciliation process.

Know which work depends on the connection.

Map each site’s dependency on central applications and data. Include the local workflow and the people who use it.

Part of the same system.

Connect the design decisions across these areas.
