Ship It Live · logistics sprint
Jobs dispatched and proof captured, in 30 days.
Stop dispatching by WhatsApp. Jobs assigned, signatures and photos captured, customers told where their delivery is.
Quick answer
A logistics or field-operations app can be designed, built and live in 30 days for a fixed $2,500, covering job creation and dispatch, a driver app with proof of delivery, customer status tracking and an operations dashboard. Automated route optimisation across a large fleet is a separate project.
The plan
Day one to day 30, written down.
You get this schedule before you commit, not after. If a phase slips, that is mine to absorb — the price and the date were agreed before anything started.
- 1
Days 1–3
Scope lock
What a job is in your business, its states, and who changes them. Also the exceptions — failed deliveries, reattempts, partial loads — because they are most of real operations.
- 2
Days 4–12
Design
The driver app first, designed for one hand, in a van, in daylight glare. Then dispatch and the operations view.
- 3
Days 13–24
Build
Jobs, assignment, status pipeline, proof capture and the customer tracking link. Offline-first from the start rather than retrofitted.
- 4
Days 25–28
Run a real day
Actual drivers, actual routes, actual dead zones. Field apps fail in ways no office test reveals.
- 5
Days 29–30
Launch
Live, drivers trained, dispatchers switched over, and the old group chat retired.
What $2,500 gets you
Everything needed to launch — nothing padding the invoice.
Who books this
Built for
Transport and courier firms dispatching by phone and group chat
Field service teams whose paperwork arrives days after the job
Operations managers with no idea what happened until someone complains
Real situations
Five ways this shows up, and what actually fixes it.
Not hypothetical — the shape of the problem before someone books this sprint, and the specific part of the build that resolves it.
Situation 1
Dispatching every job through a WhatsApp group
A transport or field-service business assigns and tracks jobs entirely through a group chat, with no record of who has what, what's completed, or what failed.
Job creation, dispatch and a driver app replace the group chat with a real system tracking status per job.
Situation 2
Paperwork for a completed job arrives days later, if at all
Proof of delivery or job completion currently depends on drivers remembering to text a photo or fill in paperwork back at the depot, often arriving too late to be useful.
Proof of delivery — photo, signature, notes, timestamp, location — is captured on the driver's phone at the moment the job is completed.
Situation 3
Nobody knows what happened until a customer complains
Operations has no real-time visibility into job status, so problems only surface reactively when a customer calls to ask where their delivery is.
An operations dashboard shows live status and exceptions as they happen, rather than reconstructing the day after a complaint arrives.
Situation 4
Field apps that stop working the moment signal drops
A previous logistics tool required constant connectivity, which made it unusable in the dead zones drivers regularly encounter on real routes.
The system is offline-first from the start — jobs cache, proof captures locally, and everything syncs once signal returns.
Situation 5
Hardware costs are the reason a system rollout stalled before
A previous attempt to modernize dispatch stalled because it required issuing company devices to every driver, an upfront cost the business couldn't justify.
The driver app runs on drivers' own phones, removing the hardware cost that usually kills these projects before they start.
The honest part
When 30 days is the wrong answer.
A fixed deadline only works when the scope genuinely fits inside it. These are the cases where I will tell you so rather than take the booking.
Automated route optimisation and multi-drop sequencing across a large fleet. That is a serious algorithmic problem and I would rather integrate an established engine than fake one.
Telematics and vehicle hardware integration — tachographs, ELDs, fuel sensors — which is a procurement project as much as a build.
Customs, cross-border documentation and freight forwarding compliance, each of which is its own system.
Inside the 30 days
- Job creation with addresses, time windows, references and instructions
- Dispatch and assignment, manual or by simple rules you control
- A driver app: today's jobs, navigation handoff, status updates
- Proof of delivery — photo, signature, notes, timestamp, location
- Customer-facing tracking link so the phone stops ringing
- An operations dashboard: live status, exceptions, completed, failed
- Works offline in the field and syncs when signal returns
- Source code, design files and 30 days of support at handover
Quoted as one number before day one. A week running long is mine to absorb.
Outside the line
- Automated route optimisation and multi-drop sequencing across a large fleet. That is a serious algorithmic problem and I would rather integrate an established engine than fake one.
- Telematics and vehicle hardware integration — tachographs, ELDs, fuel sensors — which is a procurement project as much as a build.
- Customs, cross-border documentation and freight forwarding compliance, each of which is its own system.
Real work, sized and priced separately. You hear it before you book, not at handover.
Questions
Before you book
Yes, for dispatch, driver execution and proof of delivery — which is where almost all the daily pain is. Route optimisation and telematics are separate, and I will tell you honestly whether you actually need them yet.
Other sprints
30 days from now, this could be live.
A 30-minute call decides whether the scope fits. If it doesn't, I'll tell you what would.
