Project Journey
In the rapidly evolving logistics industry, companies must adopt digital solutions to remain competitive. The client company faced challenges due to fragmented communication channels and manual processes, leading to inefficiencies and increased operational costs. This project addresses these issues by developing an integrated application that streamlines logistics operations and enhances internal communication.
Problem Definition
The logistics company relied on disparate sources—calls, emails, WhatsApp — for daily operations, causing delays, miscommunication, and redundant manual work. There was a pressing need to digitize operations and create a cohesive internal environment to improve efficiency and data management.
Methodology
A user-centered design approach was employed, involving stakeholders from all access levels to gather requirements. Agile development methodologies facilitated iterative progress and continuous feedback integration. The application was developed using modern IT solutions, best UX/UI principles, and frameworks suitable for cross-platform deployment.
Objectives
- To develop an application with three levels of access: Administration, Mechanics, and Drivers.
- To automate container logging through integration with the local BCT platform.
- To streamline voyage creation and advanced trip planning.
- To enhance internal communication with features like voice messaging.
- To provide real-time data and progress monitoring within the EU.
- To implement both desktop and mobile versions for accessibility.
