Shipper Inquiries

The Challenge & Context

Dispatchers handled 1,200+ interstate freight shipments weekly via shared spreadsheets and phone calls. Shippers had zero real-time visibility into truck locations without manual status inquiries, leading to communication bottlenecks and delayed handoffs.

System Architecture & Design

Next.js multi-tenant frontend with WebSockets for live driver location feeds, Python backend with FastAPI and Celery workers, PostgreSQL for audit logs and driver rosters, and Google Maps API route optimization.
