Client

Companies with their own delivery fleet - dispatch, a loading yard, and drivers serving dozens of stops every day.

Problem

Routes built in Excel, driver information passed by phone, and route cost known only afterwards - or never. There was no view of what was on the yard and what was on the road.

Scope of work

A dispatch app, yard and driver apps, a shipment scanner, a shared model package, a nightly job server, and a product website.

Solution

The dispatcher plans routes and stops, manages the fleet and forklifts, and has an alert centre, reports, KPIs, and chat with drivers and the yard. The yard works from a loading plan with pallet photos and a seal register, and drivers see their route, deliveries, and pickups. Everything runs on a shared Dart model package and an Appwrite backend. At night FoxTrans API v2 runs ABC Track optimisation and computes the cost of every route via OSRM with fleet parameters, then sends inspection and insurance alerts in the morning.

Key features

  • Route and stop planning with a map and friendly address names
  • Loading plan, pallet photos, and a forklift seal register
  • Driver app: route, deliveries, pickups
  • Dispatch chat with drivers and the yard
  • Nightly route cost calculation and ABC Track optimisation
  • Savings KPIs, nightly process monitoring, alert centre
  • Report export to Excel and PDF

Business outcome

The system runs in production at a wholesaler with its own fleet: dispatch, the yard, and drivers work on the same routes, and the cost of every route is known the next morning and compared with the plan.
