Identification of Manual Processes Hindering Modern Logistics Operations

The logistics business currently relies heavily on manual operational processes, including spreadsheets and handwritten notes, leading to missed or delayed orders exceeding 10%. The client needs a scalable digital platform to automate order monitoring and management, support diverse delivery types, and facilitate expansion into new markets within a strict four-month timeline to remain competitive in the online delivery space.

About the Client

A logistics company operating internationally with a diverse delivery fleet, transitioning from manual operations to a fully digital, multi-platform system to enhance order management, tracking, and customer engagement.

Goals for Digital Transformation of Logistics Operations

  • Implement a comprehensive, multi-platform logistics management ecosystem including web and mobile applications to automate order processing.
  • Reduce failed order rates and improve delivery schedule adherence.
  • Enhance scalability to support future market expansion and additional transportation service providers.
  • Increase order volume and operational efficiency by leveraging modern microservices architecture, targeting a measurable growth (e.g., 23% increase in order volume).
  • Ensure system robustness for rapid deployment and seamless updates.

Core Functional Specifications for the Digital Logistics Platform

  • A web dispatch panel with automated order reception, assignment, distribution based on timestamp, visual dashboards, and failure reduction capabilities.
  • Mobile applications for couriers with order management, navigation, and minimalist design to focus on delivery tasks.
  • Customer-facing apps on web, iOS, and Android, featuring delivery listings, parcel management, payment processing, and real-time order tracking.
  • A web admin panel for analytics and employee management to support operational oversight.
  • A microservices architecture facilitating independent deployment and scalability of new features.
  • An inter-service communication protocol supporting efficient, cross-language interactions.
  • Shared UI/UX component libraries for consistent, rapid cross-platform development.
