Vehicles do not always drive fully loaded, and if your drivers have extra space in their trucks, they can take some extra fright for the delivery. If you want to increase the income of your logistics company, consider shipping on-demand mobile app development. 

On-demand delivery logistics apps connect company-owned vehicle drivers and shippers who need their cargo to be delivered. Thus, the app consists of a carrier app, shipper app, and an Admin panel. Now, let's find out how such apps work. 

·        Shippers post a freight request with cargo destination, origin, load, weight, size, and cost

·        The platform notifies the nearest driver, ready for immediate pickup, who accepts the shipment request  

·        Once the driver picks up the freight, shippers can track the vehicle location via build-in GPS, receive real-time updates and alerts on the delivery progress 

·        After the driver delivers the cargo, the platform notifies the shipper about successful delivery and automatically sends an invoice for payment

To earn money, shipping an on-demand app charges a software service fee based on the delivery's total. 

·        GPS tracker to determine the driver's location, suggest nearest shipping requests and show driving directions 

·        Offers section, where the driver can view app shipping requests nearby

·        Order page with information about the shipment origin, destination, size, weight, etc

·        Built-in messaging to discuss all the details with the shipper

·        Jobs with a history of completed orders, new shipping orders, and their status

·        Digitized documentation, where the driver takes a picture of the bill of lading, the POD, and inputs the name of a representative 

If your logistics business owns a warehouse, you need to ensure that all shipments will be delivered to the right origin within the stated time. At the same time, tracking, managing, and updating the status of hundreds of deliveries in real-time is almost impossible. To digitize the management of your warehouse, consider barcode scanning app development. Such applications are empowered with third-party APIs to recognize various barcodes and integrate with your warehouse database to update information in real-time. Also, barcode scanning apps eliminate expenses on barcode scanners, reduce human errors, and increase your warehouse employee efficiency thanks to bulk barcode scanning. To find out more about the essential warehouse management feature list, let's take a closer look at the Logistics Plus Mobile Warehousing & Transportation App.
