Client’s needs 

The client approached us with a need for a dedicated business system to support the shipment distribution process by comprehensively managing and monitoring the delivery process. 

During the business analysis phase, we selected the following needs: 

  • Shipment card fulfillment from the driver's phone
  • Live display of delivery status
  • Logging of problems and immediate ability to respond
  • Supporting the communication process with the customer
  • Real-time reporting and control
  • Paperless solution through data digitization
  • Fraud detection - process monitoring and auditing

Our solution

The business system we created consists of many smaller components, which we can divide into two categories:

  • Mobile application used by drivers to make deliveries, enabling real-time data flow and process monitoring
  • Server services, managing and aggregating shipment data (backend)
  • Web frontend for operators in the logistics center

One of the main challenges was integration with several distributed services, including Transport Management System and services such as CRM, WMS, ERP, etc.

With our solution, in an automatic and real-time manner or minimizing human labor, the order quickly goes through all the successive stages of execution from the dispatcher to the necessary confirmations sent to the customer's account and set aside in the database.

Outcome

  • Shipment distribution process automation
  • Data digitization (paperless solution)
