Challenge

Most of the challenges were related to data synchronization and delivering new loads in real-time. Before we built the service client managers were tracking new loads in their inboxes and if they found a load that can make a profit they had to call to the driver manually. That process was time-consuming and not accurate.

Solution

Built service uses Firebase as a cloud-hosted service. Using Gmail API and Cloud Functions we configured a schedule function that listens to inbox and stores new loads to Firestore. For delivering loads to drivers we build a mobile app for both OS: Android and IOS. With the mobile app, drivers can see all available loads based on their geolocation. Also, they can send applitionation if they want to deliver a load by themself. Another thing is that driver can be notified about new relevant loads (if the driver is near a pick-up location) with Push Notifications.

Results

Provided solution automated a lot of manual steps for administrators as well reduces the amount of phone calls and communication, provided drivers with a possibility to see loads in real-time according to their filter setup, choose the one that works for them and apply for it, eliminated human errors and need in phycal tracking of loads coming through mailbox. As the result given app significantly increased the capacity of administrators, allowing Cargo Bee to handle approximately 10 times more loads without hiring new administrators.
