LogiStack — Software Overview

Logistack is an operations platform for courier and logistics teams. It centralizes 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.

**POD management** – receive, store, and review proof-of-delivery images; filter and export as needed.
**Content control** – upload and version the internal knowledge base (kb.json).
**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 kb.json.
Apply brand changes via custom-overrides.css (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, /kb/, /uploads/, 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 kb.json.
POD: Proof of Delivery – image(s) or documentation confirming completion.
Branding override: The optional CSS file used to adjust admin appearance.
