EASY-TO-USE AND POWERFUL LOGISTICS APP
The logistics company Cargo Trak came to us with a mobile app idea. The major functionality they required was accurate GPS tracking of temperature-sensitive freight. We started our cooperation from the discovery stage to learn about particular client needs. In the process, we learned that damaged cargo was the company’s biggest pain point. Given that they deal with perishable goods, we had to design an app that would allow quickly identifying a possible problem and acting on it on time.
Challenge
The app is meant to be used by the company’s drivers as well as third-party drivers so we needed to make the interface as simple as possible so that any driver can understand the flow intuitively without additional guidance.
While this is a relatively typical challenge, the tougher one was related to crafting a live map. In the app, admins are able to see the map with all current deliveries in real time and receive notifications if any delivery doesn’t move for a given period of time. Since they deal with perishable goods, the accuracy of location tracking and data synchronization between driver and admin systems were essential to the project.

Results
The TRIARE team built a smart logistics solution that allows for real-time tracking of temperature-sensitive freight. The app features versions for admins and drivers and ensures smooth communication between these two types of users. The Cargo Trak app allows assigning and managing delivery requests, documenting cargo conditions, and resolving issues on time.
