The challenge
What the business needed
A global logistics company faced difficulty in effectively tracking vehicle timelines and associated orders and inventory at the warehouse level, from gate entry to dock and gate exit. The existing process lacked robustness due to the absence of a centralized data store and integration with the Unified Data Model (UDM) and Warehouse Management System (WMS). Additionally, they required a fast mobile app compatible with handheld scanner devices for efficient scanning, processing, and updating in low-network environments.
Solution
How the work was delivered
We developed a Progressive Web App (PWA) using modern web technologies such as ReactJS and Ionic, powered by a NodeJS-based Express server hosted on AWS Lambda for scalability and cost efficiency. Data was securely stored in PostgreSQL and integrated with internal APIs to enable seamless data synchronization and real-time notifications. For user authentication, we implemented an OTP-based login to ensure security for internal users. The app also supports a multi-lingual interface, broadening accessibility and enhancing usability for a diverse user base across the organization.
