An app for tracking the order on map in real time. The key benefits include:
- Provide an easy way for the delivery boys to
update statusof orders easily with just a few clicks. - Provide a convenient and frustration free way to
track orders on mapin Real Time and also showing ETA. - Avoid Phone Calls by sending
Notificationsautomatically to the user- when the status of order changes
- when the delivery boy approaches the destination
- Also provide an easy way to reach destination for the
New Delivery boysby providing theCustomer's location.
- Android App
- We are Android developers, so we chose Android platform. Same can be implemented in other platform by using existing backend.
Firebasedatabase- Used as backend of the application and for real time data syncing.
- Google Maps API
- Used to show Maps from within the app in a convenient way.
This module can be implemented in other existing apps of delivery vendors.
- We can extend this further by auto allocating orders to delivery boys (who is on the move) based on their current location and the order pickup location. Thus
optimisingthe delivery process.
The implementation of the app is completed except for the part of Notifications. Little bit tweaking is needed to update the location of delivery boy and send the Notification based on the distance between the Customer's location and the Delivery Boy's.
