The Challenge & Solution
The logistics industry faced critical challenges with traditional dispatch systems: inefficient route planning, lack of real-time visibility, manual communication processes, and inability to scale operations effectively. Zendera needed a comprehensive mobile solution that could bridge the gap between dispatchers and drivers while providing real-time intelligence to optimize the entire delivery ecosystem. The solution had to work seamlessly in challenging conditions, support multiple languages, and integrate with existing ERP and WMS systems.
We developed native iOS and Android applications that serve as the digital backbone for Zendera's transport control tower, enabling seamless coordination between dispatchers and drivers while leveraging AI-powered optimization for maximum efficiency.

Real-Time Order Updates & Tracking
Real-time synchronization engine enabling instant dispatcher-driver communication with live status updates, delivery confirmations, and exception handling, processing 480,000+ deliveries with millisecond-level updates.
Advanced Barcode Scanner Integration
High-performance scanner supporting QR codes, DataMatrix, and traditional barcodes in any lighting, with offline capability, batch scanning, and automatic manifest validation, reducing handling time by 60%.


Automated Route Planning
Intelligent optimization algorithm considering traffic, time windows, and vehicle capacity to create dynamic routes, achieving 30% fuel reduction and 25% improvement in on-time deliveries.
GPS Navigation & Geofencing
Commercial vehicle-optimized navigation with turn-by-turn directions and advanced geofencing that automatically triggers delivery workflows, captures proof of delivery, and provides accurate customer ETAs.
