Rushiz An on-demand delivery service for any packages
The Story

The Uberization of the economy, and indeed logistics market at large, was driven largely by the success of Uber. Its model is one everyone wants to replicate, and for good reason. The company is expanding itself well fast in the taxi industry, and has launched its “Uber Freight”, reinventing the logistics of the transportation industry by eliminating the middle man broker.

Our client, Robert Brice Cerival, came to us with the idea for an app – called Rushiz – that will change the way you deviler small packages whithin the city. Robert knew already what needed to be done, what features had to be implemented, and had a design for the app. But he was inspired by our portfolio, and chose Octodev to develop his startup according to the requirements.

We had never previously developed a similar app. It was our first experience in developing Uber-like application. However, the results exceeded all client's expectetions. It was a fully functional application, for two type of users - clients and drivers.

Goals & Deliverables

Our main goal was to develop an MVP for two types of users – clients and drivers. Clients should be able to order a delivery, depending on package size. Drivers should be able to get these delivery requests, process them, deliver packages, and get paid for that.

The main challenge was to integrate a socket-based communication with server, and make sure all cases are handled correctly, especially when the internet connection is weak or temporarily unavailable. Other challage was, that it should be a single application, for both type of users.

We built the native iOS application, using Objective-C language. Design and backend was provided by client.

The main objective for Octodev team was creating an app with features for:

  • delivering different size packages in just a few taps;
  • tracking package, while it’s on the way;
  • automatic credit card charges, for provided services;
  • possibility for drivers to work without fixed schedule;

Together with a client, we’ve created a well thought-out application, that can be used by clients, and drivers at the same time. Clients can ship small packages/letters without going to a post office. Drivers can get paid for small deliveries within their city, when they have free time.

The main mission of this project was to provide people with the technology that could turn package delivery into something like Uber for trucks. The app is being actively tested now by users in France.
