Pickup and Delivery App Development

We are sure that you have probably used a package delivery app once in your life. Either Uber Connect or Amazon Flex, any of these apps to deliver your package from one place to another. Similarly, we have designed and developed a LINX mobile application based on our client’s requirements. With three different types of package services, you can choose an appropriate package delivery service, make payment, and get your work done. Looking for an on-demand mobile app solution?

Abstract of On-demand Package Delivery App

LINX(Life on Demand) app is an on-demand pick-up and delivery service app that helps you book a package delivery service according to your requirements. Depending on the size of your package, choose the vehicle for delivering your package safely. From cupcakes to cupboards, LINX services make it easy for you to deliver urgent and large items without any hassle.

This package delivery app has two types of users; first, users who want to deliver their package from one place to another, and second, drivers who deliver LINX users’ packages safely and securely. To book a package delivery, you need to sign up, choose the size of the package you want to deliver, select the vehicle accordingly, add recipient details, and make payment.

Client’s Requirements

Our client is from Washington DC, USA. He had an idea to develop a package delivery app similar to Rodie or Amazon Flex, that eliminates the struggle of people to move packages from one place to another.

As he had an idea and wanted a reliable mobile app development partner, he started researching on Google, Upwork, and other app development review companies’ sites. Over there, he found us and landed on our website to check our work. He checked our previously developed application that includes food delivery services to on-demand transportation applications.

Getting impressed by our work, he contacted us and booked a consultation to discuss his mobile app requirements. After that, we collaborate to start working together.

Solution We Have Developed for Our Client

As our client was very clear about his app requirements, he gave in-depth information about his app idea. During the consultation, he explained all his requirements by describing what type he should want to develop, features to add, and competitors in the market.

Further, we conducted the complete market research about the package and delivery app. During the research of different types of package delivery applications, we prepared complete documentation that includes information on advanced features to add, the flow of the application, and the design of your pickup delivery app.

As per the requirements, we started development of your package delivery application development, first, we created the design of the application. Next, we started the development of the LINX application based on the design of the application.

Our developers started coding the features like play package delivery orders, push notifications, scheduling delivery, and payment integration. As soon as the application was reviewed and approved by our client, we published it on the Apple App Store and Play Store.

Challenges We Faced

During the development of this pickup and delivery app development, our client wanted to add an edit option at the last screen when placing a package delivery order. As we have designed and developed all the screens for placing package delivery requests, we have to make changes in the codebase of the application. For making this change, we had to make changes as follows:

Made changes in the design of the LINX app
Made changes in the API code of the app
Created a new codebase for adding the edit function on the last screen

As we need to ensure the users can make changes at the last screen before making a payment, we tested all the functionalities, features, and designs of the application. This way, we had to start the work again majorly on the application.
