Custom software for warehouses, logistics and industrial operations

Practical tools built around the way your team already works. Digital receiving and documentation, dashboards, and phone or tablet apps for people who aren't at a desk, so fewer jobs depend on paper, re-typing and memory.

Discuss your operations See what we build

You don't necessarily need to replace your software.

Sometimes you need a better tool for the work it doesn't handle.

Most facilities already run a warehouse management system, inventory software, a TMS or an accounting package. Those systems are good at what they were bought for. The gaps are usually around the edges: the check-in sheet at the guard shack, damage photos sitting in someone's camera roll, a training binder nobody can find, a report a supervisor rebuilds by hand every week.

We build specialized tools for those gaps, and connect them to what you already run where your systems allow it. A replacement project is sometimes the right call, but it shouldn't be the default answer.

What we build

  • Warehouse workflow tools

    Digital receiving, shipment documentation, exception and damage reporting, and internal task coordination between shifts and teams.

  • Custom dashboards and reporting

    Internal reports that pull operational information into one place, so the numbers a manager needs aren't spread across exports and inboxes.

  • Mobile workforce applications

    Phone- and tablet-friendly software for receivers, drivers, technicians and floor staff who work away from a desk.

  • Training and onboarding systems

    Digital procedures, short learning modules, knowledge checks, and records of who completed what.

  • Workflow automation

    Cutting repeated data entry, tightening handoffs between people and departments, and connecting compatible systems so information moves once.

  • Working alongside existing systems

    Integrations built around your existing systems, including supported APIs, databases and data exports, with the most practical approach identified before development begins.

Three examples, in detail

Illustrative examples of tools we can scope and build with you, and what each one is designed to make possible.

Receiving documentation

Illustrative concept

Concept sketch
The challenge
Paper receiving logs and shipment photos scattered across personal phones are hard to organize and harder to find when a carrier claim comes due.
The tool
A digital receiving workflow on a phone or tablet at the dock: PO and carrier details, pallet counts, damage photos, notes and timestamps saved together as one searchable record per delivery.
What it makes possible
More organized documentation, and easier follow-up for whoever handles claims or vendor issues.

Driver check-in

Illustrative concept

The challenge
Arrivals, door assignments and loading status get passed around by radio, phone calls and a sign-in sheet, so nobody has the full picture at once.
The tool
A check-in screen for drivers, plus a simple dock-status board for the office and floor showing who's arrived, which door they're assigned, and what's waiting.
What it makes possible
Better visibility into the day's freight activity for everyone who needs it.

Employee onboarding

Illustrative concept

The challenge
Training material lives in binders, shared drives and a senior employee's head, so new hires get a different version depending on who trains them.
The tool
A training portal that works on a phone, with step-by-step procedures, short knowledge checks, and progress tracking for supervisors.
What it makes possible
Consistent training material that's easy to reach, and a record of who has completed what.

What's behind the work

Software Nykylo has shipped

  • Drag Tree Simulator (iOS and Android): a functional app with configurable rollout, handicap and delay settings, a reaction-time calculation on every run, and immediate feedback.
  • Sudoku: Color (iOS and Android): five difficulty levels, daily challenges, saved progress and online multiplayer, updated since its 2025 release.
  • ColorPair (iOS): leaderboards, achievements and a daily challenge.

All three were designed, built, released and maintained by Nykylo Media.

Firsthand industrial experience

Nykylo's approach to industrial software is informed by its founder's firsthand work in industrial environments, alongside independent software development experience.

In a previous role, Darren took part in a computer modernization project at a facility with offices, warehousing and manufacturing operations, upgrading hardware and migrating systems to Windows 10 across both administrative and industrial areas.

What carries over

Taking real software from idea to store release and keeping it running: interfaces people understand without training, logic that has to be right every time, testing on real devices, and changes driven by how people actually use it. A dock or floor tool needs the same discipline.

How we keep projects low-risk

Every project starts with a clearly defined first version, a written scope, price and timeline, and working software your team can test early. You see real progress before committing to anything larger.

How a project starts

  1. 01Walk us through it

    What your team does now, on what software and paper, and where it breaks down.

  2. 02Check the systems

    What your current software supports: exports, an API or direct integration.

  3. 03Scope a first version

    One workflow, the people who'll use it, and a written price and timeline.

  4. 04Build and test with your team

    Working software early, tried with the people doing the job.

  5. 05Support and extend

    Fixes, updates, and the next workflow when you're ready.

Questions operations teams ask

Do we need to replace our existing warehouse software?

Usually not. The tools we build are designed to sit next to your WMS, ERP or accounting system and handle the part it doesn't. Replacing a core system is a much larger decision, and we'll tell you if we think it's the right one.

Can you build a tool for one specific workflow?

Yes. Single-workflow tools are exactly what we focus on: one process, a defined group of people using it, and a clear way to measure whether it's working.

Can employees use these tools on phones and tablets?

Yes. Tools like these typically run in a web browser designed for phones and tablets first, so they work on devices you already own. When a project calls for it, for example offline use or camera barcode scanning, we build native iOS and Android apps, the same way we build our own published apps.

Do you work with smaller warehouses and distributors?

Yes. A small or mid-sized operation that has outgrown paper and spreadsheets but doesn't want an enterprise software project is a good fit.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

We develop integrations around your existing systems, including supported APIs, databases, and data exports. We'll review your setup and identify the most practical approach before development begins.

How does a custom software project begin?

With a conversation about the process: what your team does now, what software you already use, and what you want to change. If a custom tool makes sense, you get a written scope with the first version, price and timeline before any work starts.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. After launch we handle fixes, changes and updates, on support terms agreed in writing as part of the project.

Let's solve a real operational problem.

Tell us what your team is doing by hand, what software you already use, and what you'd like to improve. We'll give you a straight answer on whether a custom tool makes sense.
