Project Summary

Diaspora Freight Forwarding engaged Moon Technolabs to build Port Eye, a platform to let Africans in the diaspora track shipments and know the estimated time of release from African ports. The vendor recommended and developed a web-based solution that provided real-time clearing progress, payment to customs, invoice uploads, and agent chat. The client reported strong project management, timely responses, and that the platform was well received as a first-of-its-kind solution in Africa.

Key Challenges

  • Provide Africans in the diaspora with Estimated Time of Release from ports
  • Enable tracking of shipment status after estimated arrival
  • Deliver real-time clearing progress updates
  • Allow customers to pay customs and upload invoices
  • Provide real-time chat with port agents and increase transparency versus corrupt intermediaries

Project Deliverables

  • Web app "Port Eye"
  • Real-time shipment tracking
  • Payment integration for customs
  • Invoice upload functionality
  • Real-time chat with port agents

Project Solution

Moon Technolabs recommended developing a web app instead of a native mobile app and implemented the Port Eye platform. They scoped the work, managed deliverables with To-Do lists, and used technologies including WordPress, PHP, AWS and Twilio as well as Adobe assets. The team delivered features for real-time shipment status and clearing progress, payment integration for customs, invoice upload, and real-time chat with port agents, coordinating via Google Meetings.

Project Outcome

  • Positive client reception; first of its kind in Africa
  • Transparent shipment-tracking process appreciated by users
  • Strong project management with regular Google meetings and timely responses
