Challenge

In 2020, our company successfully delivered two versions of a logistics application (Android, Kotlin) to a market-leading Eastern-European group of companies that engages in Logistics, Customs Brokerage, and freight forwarding. The application allowed cargo owners to track the progress in delivering their cargo by checking the corresponding vehicles' location in a map.

In 2021, our client made a decision to build an expanded version of their logistics mobile application for B2B clients, while also shifting to Flutter (a new technology that allows one mobile app to be developed for two platforms simultaneously) technology-wise with a view to achieving greater ease of use and cost-efficiency. It has significantly reduced the time-to-market and cost of the mobile development and support.

The new version of the client's product is a B2B logistics mobile app that is part of the company's B2B and B2C logistics platform.

The application allows a cargo carrier to build and display driver networks, display multiple cargo locations in real time, and interact with the Ukrainian customs services (the cameras and queue at the border, submission of e-documents, and more).

Cargo senders can use the mobile app to choose a route, place a cargo delivery order, scan the related documents, make an online payment, receive an order confirmation, and GPS-track their orders online.

Cargo recipients can track the status of the cargos being transported to them.

The driver's version of the client's B2B mobile app comprehensively automates and greatly facilitates truck drivers' multiple interactions with the various state bodies they need to deal with while delivering cargo internationally.

A truck driver can remotely join the electronic queue at the border-crossing, order customs and logistics services, obtain information on the nearest weight inspection points and speed cameras, apply for medical assistance online, obtain life or cargo insurance, or register various documents by using a QR-code. Thus, the application fully supports the diverse documentation management workflow for a truck driver that is otherwise way too time-consuming, paper-intensive, and effort-intensive.

Additionally, the truck driver can search for merchants that provide services they are interested in in their vicinity. These merchants include filling stations, service stations, places to eat out, and more. The application's service integration with partner networks ( filling stations, service stations, cafes, and so on), i.e. allow the user to benefit from discounts. The application displays all of a partner's network points on the map, and the user can generate discounts for their services within the partner network. The software is also integrated with l payment systems, and the User can pay for their paperwork directly in the app.
