Web AppRoutesSyncEvery delivery, tracked and optimised in real timeReal-time fleet and delivery tracking with live GPS, route optimisation, predictive ETAs, a driver app, and an admin control centre for dispatch and analytics.Timeline6 monthsClientLogistics & DeliveryPlatformsWeb, iOS, AndroidStart a projectAll projects35%Reduction in delivery time500+Vehicles tracked simultaneously99.8%GPS accuracy rateReal-timeETA predictionsProject OverviewAbout this projectRoutesSync is an end-to-end logistics platform that gives fleet operators, drivers, and customers complete visibility into every delivery. The system processes live GPS data from hundreds of vehicles simultaneously, runs dynamic route optimisation to account for traffic, weather, and delivery windows, and surfaces actionable insights for dispatch teams. A companion driver app handles turn-by-turn navigation, digital proof of delivery, and break/handover management — all with offline capability for areas with poor connectivity.What We BuiltKey features & capabilities01Live GPS Fleet TrackingReal-time map view showing every vehicle's location, speed, heading, and status updated every 3 seconds. Admins can drill into any vehicle to see its full journey history, stops, and idle times.02Intelligent Route OptimisationML-powered routing engine calculates the most efficient delivery sequences for multi-stop routes, factoring in traffic conditions, delivery time windows, vehicle capacity, and driver hours.03Predictive Delivery TimesDynamic ETA calculation updated continuously based on current traffic, road closures, and actual driving pace. Customer-facing notifications are triggered automatically when ETAs change significantly.04Driver Mobile AppReact Native app with turn-by-turn navigation, digital proof of delivery (photo + signature capture), break logging, and handover management. Works fully offline and syncs when connectivity resumes.05Admin Control CentreCentralised dashboard for dispatch teams to manage routes, reassign deliveries, communicate with drivers, monitor SLA compliance, and view operational reports — all from a single screen.06Customer Tracking PortalBranded customer-facing portal where recipients can track their delivery in real time, receive SMS/email updates, and provide delivery instructions — reducing missed deliveries by 40%.Problem → SolutionChallenges we solvedChallengeDispatchers had no real-time visibility — they relied on phone calls to drivers to get status updates.SolutionBuilt a WebSocket-based live tracking infrastructure processing GPS pings every 3 seconds per vehicle, rendering updates instantly on a Mapbox map without any page refresh.ChallengeDrivers were losing connectivity in rural areas, causing the app to fail completely.SolutionImplemented an offline-first mobile architecture using SQLite and a background sync queue — drivers can complete their full route offline and data syncs automatically when signal returns.ChallengeManual route planning was taking dispatchers 2+ hours each morning.SolutionDeployed an ML route optimisation engine that generates optimised multi-stop sequences in under 10 seconds, cutting morning dispatch time
