Welcome to the Freecargo Project
The Freecargo Project is a collaboration area for logistic software development. Visitors will find ready to use logistic software and developers will find a large community of logistic companies interested in
your software.
Free software vs Licenced software
Much of the software found within The Freecargo Project is Free Software and therefore free to study, copy, modify, reuse, share and redistribute. For more information on Free Software visit the Free Software Foundation at
http://www.fsf.org.
There is also a lot of licensed software available from The Freecargo Project. It depends on the developer whether a piece is software is free or not free. Licensed software is often highly specialized software and sometimes even tailor made to the users own needs. Licenced software goes into areas where Free Software doesn't go.
Web-based
All software is web based and ready to use, just like the original Freecargo Freight Exchange. Any logistics company can start using the software today and offer simple solutions to their customers within hours. Not everything is free, some functions require a contribution like for instance the sms messaging function to communicate with drivers. If you have your own IT department and run your own servers then you can run the software yourself. What you need is a so called LAMP server (Linux, Apache,
MySQL and PHP).
