SwiftRoute — Logistics App

Brief

SwiftRoute is a Tema-based last-mile delivery startup. Their drivers were tracking deliveries on WhatsApp, customers were calling for updates, and the founders had no idea where most parcels were at any given moment.

Approach

We scoped the smallest version of an app that would solve all three problems: a driver app for status updates, a customer view (no install needed — just an SMS link to a live page), and a dispatcher dashboard. Built with React Native + a serverless backend so the team could scale it without hiring a backend engineer.

Outcome

Shipped to TestFlight and Play Store closed beta in 9 weeks. Customer “where’s my parcel?” calls dropped 78% in the first month. The dispatcher dashboard now handles 400+ deliveries per day across the Greater Accra region.
