Routeline
Hyperlocal delivery app with live tracking and driver routing intelligence.
The Challenge
Manual route planning led to inefficient driver distribution, high fuel costs, and inaccurate 'Estimated Time of Delivery' metrics for customers, lowering customer satisfaction scores.
The Solution
We engineered a driver dispatch application with real-time geolocation tracking using React Native. The backend calculates routes using a customized Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) service, grouping local orders to dispatch them along optimized single-driver paths.
Technical Architecture
Driver mobile application
React Native framework compiled to native targets with custom background location tracking packages for reliable background GPS telemetry.
API & WebSockets
Node.js WebSocket gateway designed using Socket.io to stream real-time driver coordinates directly to customer map screens.
Mapping Engines
Mapbox GL API for maps rendering, custom marker coordinates plotting, and route polyline calculations.
Database & Workers
Redis spatial indexing for fast driver search queries. Backend queue worker processes route computations asynchronously.
