TMID is a Transport Management System used for managing shipments from their reception to delivery. It allows assigning shipments to customers orders and routes generating invoices and producing various types of reports. Users can perform numerous operations including real-time tracking (via MarcoPoint integration) shipment consolidation pricing calculations based on rate files or additional products like OrderExpress and LNOS and communication with carrier systems. It also includes CO emissions calculations.
The goal of the project is to modernize legacy backend processes originally developed in XSharp/XBase with DBF file storage by migrating them to modern technologies and SQL Server while also developing new services. The result should be a robust scalable and maintainable logistics platform.

Technologies Used:
The technology stack varies by system module (frontend/backend) but currently includes:
Backend: .NET Core (including versions 8 and 9) .NET Framework 4.8 gRPC NHibernate (ORM) MS SQL Server Redis
Frontend: (MVC WebForms) OneFace framework HTML CSS JavaScript jQuery
Others: Git NuGet Postman tests Azure DevOps pipelines migration from Ranorex to TestComplete
Legacy technologies like XSharp XBase and Visual Basic are still partially present but gradually being replaced

Team Composition:
The team is internationally distributed:
Czech Republic: 4 developers
Slovakia: 1 developers / 3 testers
Netherlands: 9 team members (developers and testers)
Additional members (especially in PS/CS teams) come from various European countries and a few from the Philippines

Good English communication skills are essential.

Work Setup and Collaboration:
Office Presence:
The team operates almost entirely both Czechia and Slovakia office visits happen at most once or twice per month.
Time Zones:
Everyone works within the Central European Time zone (CET).
Some 3rd-party integrations (e.g. support teams in the US) become available after 2 PM CET but all team meetings are held no later than 3 PM.
Work Style:
Flexible working hours
The team follows an iteration-based approach (monthly sprints) with clearly defined tasks

Additional Information for Candidates:
The project is ideal for developers expertise experience in system migration and solid analytical thinking
Familiarity with Git NuGet package management and legacy system modernization is highly beneficial
The focus is on new service development rather than maintenance of legacy code

We have an office in ilina Slovak Republic which offers really nice and modern workspaces. It is used more actively with a significantly higher number of people working from there on a regular basis.
