Client: A leading truck transportation and instant delivery company

Technology

.NET Core, MongoDB, CassandraDB, Redis, Azure Devops, Kubernetes, Docker, RabbitMq, Azure Services

Reactive Architecture with Microservices

Solution

Custom logistics and fleet management system development.

Challenge

The Client was looking to build a custom software solution to increase customer satisfaction and retention and optimize courier operations.

Solution

Our custom-built solution enables the Client to properly inform its end customers of the time slot in which the delivery will take place as well as provide options to the recipients to control the delivery flow.

Another feature is enabling optimization of operations by increasing the number of activities a courier can handle during a day.

Key features

Optimal itinerary planning and routes recalculation for agents;
Route recalculations and optimizations on traffic events or delivery changes;
Enabling delivery redirects, cancellations, dynamic pick-ups
Pinning on map, contacting courier through central system;
Live tracking of couriers;
Addressing parsing and autocorrection, geocoding, reverse geocoding;
Geofences – microzoning and macrozoning;
Integration with Logistics Management solution.
