How Pythagora transformed internal operations in the logistics industry
Key Insights
• Volta Logistics had an inefficient and complex AR process, relying on four different software solutions.
• CEO Vinnie Schleper tested out several different AI-powered development tools, but found them to be inadequate.
• Vinnie discovered Pythagora and built 95% of a new internal AR tool in just a few days— a process that would have taken months manually.
The Story
Background and Challenges
As both the CEO and sole IT resource at Volta Logistics, Vinnie Schleper oversees the operational and technological aspects of his trucking logistics company.. Vinnie manages a range of responsibilities, including maintaining the transportation management systems (TMS) that are crucial for his company's data operations.

Prior to adopting Pythagora, Vinnie and his team struggled with the complexity and inefficiency of their accounts receivable (AR) processes. Volta was using four different AR solutions, some of which were either underutilized or not used at all. The setup was not only expensive and cumbersome but also lacked a centralized system for managing outstanding payments from vendors and clients.
Identifying the Need for a Solution
Recognizing the need to consolidate their AR resources into a single, efficient application, Vinnie decided to develop an in-house solution. Despite being a self-taught coder capable of building the app from scratch, Vinnie lacked the time and bandwidth to create a high-quality solution that would meet their needs.

After testing various AI-powered software developer tools and finding them inadequate, Vinnie discovered Pythagora. Impressed by Pythagora’s capabilities, he found it delivered superior results with ease and speed compared to other platforms.
Implementation of Pythagora and its Impact
Using Pythagora, Vinnie quickly built Volta’s new internal AR tool, effectively replacing their inefficient processes. Pythagora managed 95% of the development work, including SQL connections and backend processes, allowing Vinnie to focus on strategic aspects rather than technical details.

The new app developed with Pythagora was so effective that Vinnie was able to eliminate the other AR solutions he was paying for. By consolidating multiple vendors into the new internal tool, Pythagora enhanced Volta's operational efficiency and reduced costs. The app, which would have taken months to develop manually, was completed in just a few days. Outsourcing the development would have cost Volta several thousand dollars.

Pythagora's powerful capabilities streamlined Vinnie's internal tooling processes and allowed him to reallocate resources effectively, showcasing its value in a high-demand, resource-constrained environment. This transformation not only streamlined operations but also positioned Volta Logistics for future growth.
