Delivery drivers often face challenges with network connectivity and efficient route planning. This can impact their ability to complete deliveries in a timely manner. Similarly, fleet operators who oversee deliveries need real-time updates into the progress of deliveries to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Our Mobile App for Delivery Optimization enhances the efficiency of delivery operations by providing an application that works in areas with poor network connectivity. It optimizes drivers’ delivery routes, managing multiple consignments, and tracking their progress in real time. The mobile application leverages artificial intelligence to batch orders based on pickup and drop-off locations, while accommodating for configurable truck sizes.
Our system enables drivers to access the navigation system even if they are not connected to a network, ensuring the delivery process is not hindered by the loss of a network connection.
For fleet operators, the web dashboard provides a comprehensive view of the progress of deliveries. The dashboard displays real-time locations of the drivers and status of each order. This web application offers options for operators to intervene in a delivery if necessary, such as manually editing a consignment.
The front end is implemented in Flutter separately for both mobile and web applications. The back end encompasses route computation using NextBillion.ai and Node.js. Moreover, remote and local data storage is synchronized between both platforms using MongoDB.
