Freight haulers web app case study
Freight haulers
A logistics platform for the best
Freight Haulers is a platform designed to connect dispatchers with drivers within a specific area throughout the entire process of transporting a load from point
A to B
Description
This platform serves as a complement to the Load Empire app, enabling dispatchers and brokers to view offers submitted by drivers through their app and make informed decisions when awarding loads.
Why did I start this project?
I embarked on this project after gathering insights from dispatchers at an unnamed company. The primary objective is to create a comprehensive platform for dispatchers, enhancing the safety and efficiency of their work.
Project timeline
Problem Statement & Challenges
Problems
Drivers submit their offers at various times, and there's a possibility that the client may overlook better options.
Typically, other platforms do not provide information on transit time and ETA.
Engaging in communication with drivers to discuss their offers can be challenging.
Tracking freight locations proves challenging through third-party apps.
Solutions
Providing a specific time frame for each load and displaying the list of offers afterward.
Including Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and Transit Time (TT) details in the offer list.
Implementing a chat platform within the system for communication with drivers.
The platform will feature live tracking capabilities, accessible for sharing with other parties.
Response of Qualitative & Quantitative Research
User research is focused on understanding user behaviors, needs, and motivations through observation techniques, task analysis, and various feedback methodologies. In this study, I utilized two distinct research methods: Qualitative and Quantitative analysis. For qualitative analysis, I conducted interviews with five individuals involved in dispatching to gain insights into the challenges they encounter during the process. Additionally, for quantitative analysis, a survey was administered to a sample of 20 participants
