Mobile app for a same-day courier service
Challenge
Hello Kurier delivers the same day, anything from letters and gifts to furniture and electronics. The app is meant to replace the phone call and the printed label: a user registers, sees the price and pays for the shipment there.
We took the project over as an unpublished Flutter application. The codebase needed serious work and proper architectural patterns before it could scale or be maintained at all, so the first job was stabilising it, fixing the critical issues and getting it through the requirements of Google Play and the App Store.
The ordering flow was the other large piece. Courier pricing depends on what is being sent, and a single form cannot carry that, so the whole process had to be rethought around different package types and pricing variables. Payments had to be handled reliably, with support for more than one provider.

Solution
Mobitouch develops the app in Flutter across mobile and web, covering UX improvements, code refactoring and ongoing maintenance.
We began by stabilising what we inherited and adopting clean architectural patterns, so that later development builds on the code instead of working around it. A CI/CD pipeline followed, which is what makes regular releases possible rather than occasional.
The order flow was redesigned into clear steps with custom validation at each one. Ordering a courier means giving a lot of details, and breaking it into stages with validation that catches mistakes on the spot is what keeps a user from abandoning the form. The flow also covers various package types and the pricing variables attached to them.
Payments run through Stripe, with support for multiple providers, so transactions are secure and the client is not tied to a single one.

Results
Hello Kurier was released on Google Play and the App Store, fully compliant with both platforms' guidelines, from a codebase that could not have been published as we received it.
The app is now a stable courier platform used by clients and couriers alike, with flexible payment options, a smooth step-by-step booking process and a complete delivery confirmation system.
Updates go out regularly, adding features, responding to user feedback and keeping up with changing platform requirements, and the app remains under our maintenance.
