Overview

he project focused on implementing a food donation system that connects food donators, receivers, and a delivery service provider. PowerGate Australia’s development team successfully built a system consisting of two platforms: an Android tablet application for drivers to manage delivery schedules and a web admin portal for overall service management and data monitoring. Overcoming challenges related to real-time tracking and accurate data capture, the team ensured the system’s reliability and precision.

Key features

The system comprises an Android tablet application designed for drivers to seamlessly receive, execute, and report delivery schedules. The application was customized to meet the specific requirements of the customer, prioritizing ease of use and convenience. It includes a focused set of features to allow drivers to efficiently perform, record, and modify their delivery tasks. On the other hand, the web admin portal serves as a centralized command center, enabling real-time monitoring and reporting of all system data.

Pain point to be resolved or challenge to be overcome: A significant challenge in developing this system was capturing real-time GPS locations and accurate data regarding food picking and dropping. The aim was to ensure that daily reports were correct, updated, and ready for the next day’s operations. With the complexity of underlying logics and calculations, the PowerGate team invested substantial effort in extensive testing and verification. The goal was to make the application reliable and precise, guaranteeing the accuracy of data and the seamless functioning of the system.
