Truck Logistics App for Carriers

Initially, the app marked a load as "in transit" as soon as the pickup date arrived. However, brokers and carriers pointed out that the load shouldn't be considered "in transit" until the driver has physically reached the pickup location. Similarly, the app would mark the load as "completed" when the drop-off date arrived, but delays in the drop-off process led to the need for a label indicating when a drop-off was delayed. These changes required adjusting the app's logic to better reflect the actual logistics process.

Handling Deletions of Trucks and Drivers:Trucks and drivers could be deleted from the system, but it was crucial to retain their historical data for reporting purposes. To address this, the team decided to implement filters so users could see data from deleted trucks and drivers. For example, if a carrier has multiple trucks and each one has completed various loads, they would still be able to track earnings even after removing certain trucks from the system.

The app needed to ensure that users could view detailed data, such as the total earnings per truck, without losing visibility on individual performance. Instead of showing individual numbers per truck, the app was modified to present stable filters that could provide a clearer overview without overwhelming the user with too many details.

During testing, the demonstration was conducted offline, and the app was shown on large screens for the initial phase. The goal was to make sure users could intuitively interact with the app, as it was crucial for the product to meet their real-world needs. This approach helped to address some issues during the early stages of development, as it allowed for direct interaction and immediate feedback, refining the user experience.
