Project Summary

Newwave Solutions developed a logistics management platform for a tech-enabled e-commerce food distributor, analyzing and refactoring the client's legacy PHP code to improve performance. The vendor delivered the core logistics software (dispatch, load assignment, payments, and a centralized stations/customers database) and is finishing a mobile app used on iPads. Once implemented, the client expects approximately a 40% reduction in dispatcher time and near–real-time operational visibility. The client operates five distribution centers nationwide.

Key Challenges

  • High volume of paperwork and bills of lading per driver
  • Need to track driver locations and enable real-time visibility
  • Legacy PHP application was slow, limited, and not scalable to future workload

Project Deliverables

  • Logistics management web platform
  • Mobile application (iPad/web-based portal)
  • Optimized dispatch page with incremental refresh
  • Driver and load assignment module
  • Driver payment processing module
  • Centralized database of stations/customers

Project Solution

The vendor audited the client's legacy PHP codebase and refactored critical areas to improve performance, particularly the main dispatch page, which was changed to refresh items individually to reduce reload times. They built a centralized logistics platform that handles load assignment, driver payments, and a stations/customers database, and delivered a complementary mobile/web-based portal for drivers (iPad). Development was coordinated through a single project lead with a team of 5–7 coders and periodic executive oversight.

Project Outcome

  • Logistics software developed; mobile app completion pending
  • Expected reduction of dispatcher hours by at least 40%
  • Enables real-time operations and improved operational visibility
