The aim of the project is to build an application for the delivery person to update his/ her travel status so that TAPF admins can track the deliveries.Since the end users might not be technologically proficient, the application was to be deployed in the simplest possible way with minimal external dependencies. The application was also to be architecture and system independent, and easily portable.
This is a working website. The details are as follows:

This page contains the delivery person’s information including the vehicle details.
Using this page, the delivery person has to set his/ her source and destination place. He can also add multiple destinations.
Using this page, the delivery guy can update the status of his/ her trips. If there is an emergency, he can just click the ‘Emergency’ button to call TAPF.
A very important aspect of this project has been our contribution to the community. We as student developers have successfully deployed an application which solves a major recurrent problem for an organisation and increases their productivity. This project has been an enriching experience for all of us and has widened our perspective on the way in which we can contribute to society using our technical prowess.
