About this project
RoutesSync 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.
Key features & capabilities
Live GPS Fleet Tracking
Real-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.
Intelligent Route Optimisation
ML-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.
Predictive Delivery Times
Dynamic ETA calculation updated continuously based on current traffic, road closures, and actual driving pace. Customer-facing notifications are triggered automatically when ETAs change significantly.
Driver Mobile App
React 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.
Admin Control Centre
Centralised dashboard for dispatch teams to manage routes, reassign deliveries, communicate with drivers, monitor SLA compliance, and view operational reports — all from a single screen.
Customer Tracking Portal
Branded 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%.
Challenges we solved
Challenge
Dispatchers had no real-time visibility — they relied on phone calls to drivers to get status updates.
Solution
Built 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.
Challenge
Drivers were losing connectivity in rural areas, causing the app to fail completely.
Solution
Implemented 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.
Challenge
Manual route planning was taking dispatchers 2+ hours each morning.
Solution
Deployed an ML route optimisation engine that generates optimised multi-stop sequences in under 10 seconds, cutting morning dispatch time to under 15 minutes.
