Shipment Tracker - Web and Mobile App

We developed a hybrid mobile app using Cordova for one of Russia's largest logistics companies to track shipments both online and offline, especially in remote areas.

The app features on-device storage for offline data and syncs when network is available, allowing delivery confirmations via customer signatures. Additionally, we created a web-based admin dashboard to monitor live and historical shipment data and manage operations. This solution is a single code base for Android and iOS, provided a cost-effective, intuitive UI for real-time tracking and status updates.

Business Needs & Challenges

Real-time and Offline Tracking

The challenge was to develop a mobile app to track shipment activities that support both real-time and offline tracking for remote areas for one of the largest logistics companies in Russia.

Offline data sync

The Main challenge was to handle the offline data store and sync possibility to handle deliveries in remote locations where there is no network availability.

Signature verification on delivery

Along with this, the customer wanted to use the same mobile device to get the confirmation via signature from the customer on delivery for verification.

Admin dashboard

Another challenge was to create an admin dashboard where the in-office team can get an overview of current operations, live and last known locations of delivery persons and manage the shipment details.
