Challenge
The overarching goal of the project was to create a cohesive and user-friendly digital platform to manage delivery operations for TaskRabbit's integration with IKEA, addressing the complexities of logistics management in the gig economy.
This platform also needed to support TaskRabbit’s flexibility requirements, allowing seamless adjustments to workflows, driver availability, and operational demands in real time. By integrating TaskRabbit’s services with IKEA’s standards, the app would ensure both brands delivered on their customer satisfaction promises.

Solution
Ulan Software delivered a fully operational and scalable web app tailored to the specific needs of IKEA’s moving and mounting service. The following features and functionalities highlight the depth and capabilities of the platform:
Our team delivered a back-office platform designed to meet TaskRabbit's unique logistical challenges.
It was built using a microservices architecture, it integrates seamlessly with IKEA’s existing systems while allowing TaskRabbit to oversee logistics at scale.
Key modules in the back-office enable admins to monitor real-time driver locations, optimize route allocations, and track delivery progress, ensuring reliable operations from dispatch to delivery.
User and Team Management Tools
This module includes powerful user and team management capabilities.
With granular role-based access control, the platform allows to assign specific permissions, manage driver availability, and dynamically adjust team structures based on delivery needs.
Built with a secure authentication system and a centralized user management API, this feature enables admins to create, edit, and deactivate accounts seamlessly, minimizing onboarding time and ensuring secure access at every level.
Delivery Calendar and Time Slot Configuration
Our team developed a dynamic calendar tool specifically built to handle the high volume of deliveries.
This feature integrates with the driver scheduling system, allowing for real-time time-slot allocation and route optimization.
The system can adjust delivery windows, handle last-minute changes, and optimize routes based on traffic and location data.
This scheduling tool minimizes delays and maximizes route efficiency, ensuring that each delivery meets on-time standards.

Results
The Teamo app generated substantial improvements in IKEA’s delivery operations, transforming both efficiency and user experience. Key business impacts included:
Enhanced Operational Efficiency integrated real-time tracking and intuitive management tools, facilitating smooth coordination between drivers, store teams, and customers, while reducing delivery times and operational bottlenecks.
Significant Cost Reduction was achieved by leveraging pre-built modules, which shortened the project timeline by 30%.
Streamlined Coordination through a centralized back-office platform minimized miscommunication and improved overall coordination, resulting in a more seamless delivery process.
Improved Customer Satisfaction with accurate delivery tracking and scheduling.
High Scalability were built in using PWA technology, VueJS, and NodeJS, making the platform adaptable for future demands.
