Dispatch board and driver app
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A regional carrier dispatches by phone and a shared spreadsheet, so customers call for status and proof of delivery reaches billing long after the drop.
// What we would build
A web dispatch board that plans and assigns loads, with an iOS and Android driver app for stops, status updates, signatures and photos, and a tracking link the customer opens instead of calling.
// What is in it
- Load board with drag-to-assign, by driver, truck and trailer
- Driver app with stops, navigation hand-off and offline status updates
- Proof of delivery captured as a signature and photos at the dock
- Customer tracking link with live position and estimated arrival
- Position and hours of service read from your ELD and telematics provider
- Billing notified the moment proof of delivery lands
// Stack
- Next.js
- React Native
- PostgreSQL with PostGIS
- ELD and telematics APIs
