Comprehensive Logistics Platform Development

Job ID: 39640044

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

Smart Logistics App for Soil Transport with Central Control System (Android + iOS + Web Dashboard)
Project Description:

We are a startup in the construction and infrastructure industry, developing a smart digital platform to coordinate the transport of soil and fill materials between:

Material Suppliers (quarries, contractors)

Material Demanders (contractors and site managers)

Truck Companies (drivers with available containers)

All coordination is managed through a Central Control Center (our operations team).

Key Concept:
We don't rely only on return-trip capacity. In many cases, trucks leave in the morning with an empty container. We want to optimize both directions (outbound and return), with the main focus being on any opportunity to use an empty container.

How it works:

Suppliers and demanders submit their offers/requests.

The control center sees all supply/demand activity and also has access to weekly truck schedules from subscribed transport companies.

Based on that, we plan and assign efficient routes.

Drivers don’t manage routes – the control center handles everything.

App Features:

Mobile app (Android & iOS) – for drivers, suppliers, and demanders:

Drivers receive assignments and update statuses

Suppliers can see:

When trucks are scheduled to arrive

How many trucks arrived today

Demanders can see:

Which transport company is assigned

Estimated arrival time of trucks

Control Center (Web Dashboard):

Real-time map of trucks and jobs

View and manage supply/demand entries

Match and plan routes based on weekly schedules

GPS integration (e.g., Ituran or similar APIs)

User and task management panel

Tech Requirements:

Android & iOS apps (preferably Flutter)

Web dashboard (React or Angular + Firebase/Node.js backend)

GPS and map integration

Real-time database and status tracking

Business Model:
Still not finalized.
We are considering either:

Monthly subscription for users, where payments between parties are handled offline
OR

Centralized payments where the app pays transport companies and charges suppliers/requesters directly

You don’t need to build the payment module yet – it will be defined later.

What we expect from you:

Experience with logistics/transport/GPS apps

Tech stack suggestion

Time estimate

Relevant portfolio examples

Budget:
$2,000–$3,500 (flexible depending on scope and experience)
