USE CASE:
Where stack detection differs for logistics companies
Read this if you need stack detection for logistics companies and you would rather see the real options than a pitch. Mamba Labs writes Apify actors for work like this, and Company Tech Stack Detection is the one that reads logistics companies.
The problem
Logistics companies frustrate stack detection, for a reason specific to them. Start from this: logistics companies run on margins thin enough that any software purchase has to pay for itself in a quarter, and stack detection follows. Worth knowing about logistics companies, since stack detection inherits it: a freight forwarder, a carrier and a broker all describe themselves as logistics. There is 1 runnable example of stack detection for logistics companies below.
Why anyone bothers
Detection sees the front end of logistics companies and nothing behind a login, which is often exactly the part you care about.
Traditional Search Tools
- The operator licence register, for logistics companies. Free, and it says which of the three you are looking at.
- BuiltWith. The reference dataset with history and reverse lookup by technology. Priced accordingly, and still the first place most people go.
- Wappalyzer. Free as an extension, cheap as an API, shallower than BuiltWith on history. Fine for a live check on a single account.
- Their integrations page. Companies list what they connect to. It is self reported, public, and frequently more accurate than any detector.
- View source and check the DNS. Script tags, DNS records, the login subdomain. A minute per company for someone who knows what to look for, and the signatures are public.
