What Is WhenDan

WhenDan is an open source logistics operating system designed to streamline management, optimization, and day-to-day operations for transport teams.

It brings package tracking, fleet coordination, warehouse operations, and route optimization into one platform so teams can ship faster with fewer manual handoffs.

Why Choose WhenDan​

  • Developer Friendly: Built on Supabase and a modern Next.js stack for fast iteration and clear data workflows.
  • Security First: Authentication plus role and permission-aware access patterns for safer operations.
  • Open Source: Deploy in cloud or on-premise based on your operational and compliance needs.
  • Smart Assignment and Dispatch Support: Use dashboard workflows and optimization data to assign work more effectively.

Why It Exists​

WhenDan was born from real transport operations where teams still relied on paper at critical points.

Those workflows caused repeated inefficiencies:

  • Suboptimal routing and underused equipment
  • Rising fuel and labor waste
  • Delays and avoidable delivery errors

WhenDan is focused on reducing that waste with better planning, visibility, and execution.

Current Scope​

The current platform includes:

  • Package management and timeline tracking
  • Fleet and driver coordination workflows
  • Warehouse service flows
  • Route and optimization-related data models
  • Shipping label generation
