Hikyaku
What it is
Hikyaku is an open-source logistics operating system for transport teams, bringing package tracking, fleet coordination, warehouse operations and route optimization together. Dispatchers can arrange parcels manually or optimize routes around delivery windows, then send a run to a driver app. A dispatch view shows live driver locations and delivery statuses; recipients can follow parcels on a public tracking page without an account. Drivers can record delivery photos, which appear on that page and in the dashboard. The driver app also supports package scanning, route navigation and recording signatures. Fleet tools cover vehicle capacity and skills, maintenance records, and shift limits for working time, driving time, distance and stops. Hikyaku supports permission-aware access and two-factor authentication. It can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise, including on an operator’s own infrastructure. It connects n8n workflows through OAuth, with a plugin for moving orders, status changes and proof-of-delivery events between systems. Self-hosting is listed as free for personal use; an enterprise cloud trial is offered, but no price is stated.
