Client needs

Customer wanted to find a reliable partner that would help them in building a new system for next-day delivery of sensitive parcels.

The main goal of the project was to deliver a fast and modern browser-based application (with mobile app equivalent) to manage a complex logistics operation delivering over 100,000 consignments per day. In addition, it should be easy to use for drivers and depot staff, support flexible route optimisation, direct sorting, and be able to scale easily in the future.

The solution

Inspeerity provided a flexible development team to augment the existing team on the customer side in building a system for sensitive parcels that need to be delivered very fast and in a fully controlled manner.

On the backend side, the system collects and integrates data for all parcels and then transfers the information (depending on the place of pickup and delivery) to specific “post offices” where they are automatically assigned to drivers.
