LogiStack is an operations platform for courier and logistics teams. It centralises admin tools, content/configuration, and integrations so day-to-day work is consistent and auditable.

''This page describes the LogiStack software at a high level. It intentionally excludes any information about mobile or tracking apps.''

__TOC__

== Purpose ==
* Provide a reliable, secure back-office for logistics operations.
* Standardise documents and guidance via an internal knowledge base.
* Make proofs of delivery (POD) easy to store, find, and export.
* Offer a stable interface (API) for systems that need to integrate.

== Who uses LogiStack ==
* **Admins / Managers** – manage content, branding, and review PODs.
* **Support / Dispatch** – handle questions and maintain operational docs.
* **Integrators** – connect external systems through the API.

== Core components ==
; Admin utilities
: Web pages for common tasks (e.g., uploads admin, POD gallery).

; Knowledge base (kb.json)
: A single JSON file (<code>/kb/kb.json</code>) that stores support/help content used internally. Uploads create timestamped backups.

; Branding override (custom-overrides.css)
: Optional stylesheet (<code>/custom-overrides.css</code>) to align the admin tools with your brand. Versions can be backed up for rollback.

; API service
: A secure HTTPS endpoint set designed for integrations and admin utilities. Requires configured database credentials and a private secret for access tokens.

; Private support hub (no code)
: A private repository for tickets, questions, and announcements. Used for structured support and audit trails.

== Key capabilities ==
* **POD management** – receive, store, and review proof-of-delivery images; filter and export as needed.
* **Content control** – upload and version the internal knowledge base (<code>kb.json</code>).
* **Branding** – apply or roll back CSS overrides safely.
* **Integrations** – stable API surface for system-to-system workflows.
* **Auditability** – optional logging on admin actions (e.g., uploads, restores).

== How it fits together (high level) ==
# Admin utilities run under your secure API domain (HTTPS).
# Knowledge base and CSS are managed through uploads and stored server-side with backups.
# POD images are retained server-side for later review/export.
# External systems can connect via the API where permitted.

== Day-to-day tasks (admins) ==
* Update the internal knowledge base by uploading <code>kb.json</code>.
* Apply brand changes via <code>custom-overrides.css</code> (use cache-busting when linking).
* Review and export POD images from the gallery.
* Use the private support hub for tickets and change requests.

== Governance & good practice ==
* **Security:** HTTPS only; strong secrets; least-privilege access; avoid placing personal or sensitive data into public channels.
* **Backups:** include database, <code>/kb/</code>, <code>/uploads/</code>, and configuration files. Keep a small number of recent backups for quick restore.
* **Change control:** record what changed, when, and by whom (e.g., upload logs); announce notable changes in the support hub.
* **Privacy:** delete or anonymise data in line with policy; restrict who can access admin utilities.

== Glossary ==
; Knowledge base (KB)
: Internal help content stored in <code>kb.json</code>.
; POD
: Proof of Delivery – image(s) or documentation confirming completion.
; Branding override
: The optional CSS file used to adjust admin appearance.
