IDLEOGISTICS is a concept I’ve been building that combines the mechanics of idle gaming with real-world logistics, fleet management, and map-based simulation. Inspired by tools like Volanta and games like Euro Truck Simulator, it’s designed to bridge casual gameplay with detailed business operations.

The Concept

‍Players start with a small fleet and a single depot, working their way up by completing deliveries, managing truck classes, and expanding their logistics network across the UK. The game introduces concepts like fuel costs, delivery time multipliers, toll routes, and property expansion, all wrapped inside a stylish UI and idle-game progression loop.

Mapbox-Powered Gameplay*

‍Using Mapbox for real-time rendering, players see trucks moving across actual UK roads. Routes are calculated dynamically with traffic and distance in mind. Icons stay anchored during zooming and panning, and the map ties into core mechanics like depot ownership, truck location, and delivery tracking.

System Design and Database Architecture

‍The backend uses Supabase to manage user data, owned trucks, properties, and contract history. I’ve designed it to support multiplayer, with player profiles linked across all gameplay tables, including mileage tracking, truck history logs, and performance analytics.

Feature-Rich, UI-First Approach

‍The app is fully fullscreen, responsive, and built with a modern UI in mind. I’ve taken inspiration from platforms like daily.dev for design, dark mode, rounded cards, sleek sidebar layouts, and adaptive navigation based on screen size. Every feature is intentional, from truck purchasing to property upgrades.

Automated Logic and Active Timers

‍Idleogistics simulates real-time delivery paths. Trucks take time to reach their destination, based on their speed stat and route length. Loading and unloading times are factored in, with contracts refreshing every 30 minutes. Players can assign trucks to jobs, purchase new vehicles, and scale up as their operation grows.

Vision and Future Goals

‍This project isn’t just a game. It’s a platform to explore how real logistics systems can be gamified and presented through smart UI and idle mechanics. The long-term plan includes player-to-player trading, global leaderboards, and potentially integrating AI-driven route optimisation.

As this is a work in progress project, there are no full details or information surrounding this project. This is more of an example of what we can achieve at DiGiT Solutions. A bunch of features are missing but this should give you a brief overview of the style of development we can offer.
