XFlyve Transport Management System — Automating 70% of Logistics Workflow
Logistics relies heavily on coordination — drivers, trucks, proof of delivery, and compliance reporting.
Yet many transportation companies still manage all of this using phone calls, WhatsApp photos, spreadsheets, and manual logs.
When I worked with a logistics team, I saw the same pattern:
Too much time wasted on admin instead of operations.
So I created XFlyve Logistics Automation Platform — a system to automate workflows, digitize work diaries, and streamline delivery tracking.
🚧 The Problem
Before XFlyve, the workflow looked like this:
- Jobs assigned manually through calls or messages
- Drivers typed work diaries separately
- POD images shared via WhatsApp or Messenger
- Spreadsheets updated nightly
- No central tracking
- No real-time dashboard
This caused:
❌ Delays
❌ Confusion
❌ Lost documents
❌ Admin overload
❌ No operation visibility
🎯 The Goal
Replace unorganized communication and paperwork with one automated system.
✔ Automate repetitive tasks
✔ Improve real-time tracking
✔ Create clean driver ↔ admin workflow
📌 Target outcome: ≥ 70% automation of manual work
🧠 Tech Stack
| Layer | Tools | |-------|-------| | Frontend | React (Vite), Material UI, Axios | | Backend | Node.js + Express | | Database | MongoDB Atlas + Mongoose | | Auth | JWT + Role-based permissions | | File Upload | Cloudinary (POD + evidence photos) | | Security | CORS, Helmet, Rate Limiting | | Deployment | Vercel (Frontend) + Render (Backend) |
🏗 Architecture Overview
Driver App → REST API → MongoDB ↘ Cloudinary (storage) Admin Panel ← REST API ← Database
Everything was structured modularly so future features (GPS tracking, payroll automation, invoicing) can be added.
🔥 Core Features
👨💼 Admin Panel
- Assign jobs to drivers
- Review submitted PODs
- Track job completion status
- Manage users (RBAC)
- Export reports
🚚 Driver Interface
- View assigned jobs in real-time
- Submit proof of delivery
- Submit work diary in guided steps
- Offline support (coming soon)

⚠️ Challenges & Solutions
| Challenge | Fix | |----------|------| | Drivers entering inconsistent data | Enforced schema + input validation | | POD uploads too large | Cloudinary compression + size limits | | No accountability | Activity logs + status timeline | | User confusion | Mobile-first UI + step-based flow |
📈 Results
After deployment:
- Manual admin tasks reduced by ~70%
- Faster driver reporting
- Better visibility of delivery status
- Cleaner communication trail
- Centralized POD & job evidence storage
