BigDaddy Logistics - Mobile & Web app development
How did it all begin? Local city transport in India operates in an unregulated environment. The founders of this startup aimed to address this issue by leveraging their market experience and technology. Their goal is to make city transportation—often referred to as Last Mile Logistics—more reliable, organized, safe, and easily accessible for every transporter and individual, thus providing cost-effective solutions for all.
Client Requirements:
- A website and mobile applications where transporters or individuals can book parcels
- An admin panel to manage operations
- A driver app for real-time tracking and improved service
Proposed Solution:
Through several brainstorming sessions, we grasped the market trends and the disorganized nature of the sector. Our primary challenge was to create web and mobile applications that were user-friendly, considering the target market's limited tech savviness.
What We Did:

- Within a month, we made modifications and additions to nearly all essential modules.
- Next, we created the driver mobile app to facilitate the flow of orders.
- After a month of testing the driver app, we proceeded to develop the user-facing web and mobile applications.
- Within two months, the client onboarded hundreds of customers, successfully launching operations.
