The reason why we chose these Tech Stacks is shown below:

Frontend

React JS: This made the websites and mobile app look and feel really nice, with buttons and menus that work smoothly.

Google Map React: It puts maps on the screen so we can show where drivers are and where trips are going.

Websocket: It's like a super-fast phone line between the website/mobile app and the server so that we can see things happening in real-time.

Tailwind CSS: This made it easy to design websites and apps to look great without spending too much time.

Backend

Node.js: It's like the engine running in the background that keeps everything working fast and smoothly.

Express.js: This helps us build the parts of the internet that talk to the websites and apps, like a waiter bringing food to the table.

Mongoose: It's like a helper that makes talking to the database (where we store all our data) really easy.

Websocket: Just like the one in the front, it helps the server and website/app talk to each other quickly.

Oramasearch: This helps us find things we need in our data really quickly, like when we look for a specific trip or driver.

Google Map API: It gives us the special tools to use maps on the website/app, so we can show where trips are going and where drivers

Mobile App

Expo: It's like a toolbox that helps us make the app look nice and work well on different devices.

React Native: This tool helps us build the app so it feels and works like other apps on Android or ios.

Websocket: Just like on the website, it helps the app talk to the server right away, so we always know where drivers are and what trips are done.

For real-time location services, we integrated Google Maps efficiently to provide accurate, live locations of drivers, helping admins make informed decisions.

Let's take a closer look at what our administrative system brings to the table. These features highlight how we've simplified our logistics and management system:

Accounts Management

Empower admins with tools to create, update, and monitor user accounts, ensuring streamlined access and operational efficiency.

Company Management

Provides super admins the ability to onboard, track, and manage companies, ensuring smooth operations across multiple entities.

Driver Management

Facilitate seamless onboarding, categorization, and real-time monitoring of drivers, enhancing logistics and communication.

Vehicle Maintenance Management

Maintain detailed records of vehicle status, scheduled maintenance, and repairs, ensuring fleet reliability and safety.

Patient Management

Centralize the storage, retrieval, and update of patient data, ensuring timely and efficient care for all involved.

Trip Report Management:

Equip admins with tools to generate, view, and analyze detailed trip reports, fostering transparency and data-driven operations.

Trips Management:

Streamline the planning, scheduling, and monitoring of trips, enabling timely deliveries and efficient route optimization.

How did we begin and progress? Let's walk through our development journey, detailing each phase and the obstacles we encountered throughout.

Step 1: Requirement Analysis and Planning

In the project's initial phase, the team prioritizes understanding the client's needs, setting a robust foundation. Through collaboration, specific app features and objectives are outlined. Decisions, such as platform choice (iOS, Android, or Cross-Platform) and tech stack selection, are determined. This stage, acting as a blueprint, ensures focused progression and aligns with the client's vision.

Step 2: Design and User Interface (UI) Development

Initiating with wireframe sketches, the design phase outlines the app's structure, emphasizing user-friendly navigation. Prototypes for both driver and user segments are crafted to address all stakeholder needs. Using tools like Adobe XD or Figma, the team produces detailed mock-ups, setting the visual tone and prepping for subsequent development.

Step 3: Front-end Development

In this phase, developers use React JS to craft dynamic interfaces for both web and mobile. The integration of Google Map offers real-time map displays, while Websocket ensures continuous user updates. Additionally, with Tailwind CSS, the app blends visual appeal with functionality, promising users an efficient and aesthetic experience.

Step 4: Back-end Development

Back-end development anchors the app's functionality. Using Node.js, a server is established, while Express.js crafts API endpoints. Mongoose facilitates database interactions, and Websocket ensures real-time server communication. Oramasearch streamlines data searches and the Google Map API integrates trip and driver location services. This backend foundation ensures a seamless user experience.

Step 5: Mobile App Development

Leveraging Expo and React Native, the team crafts cross-platform mobile applications, ensuring seamless functionality across varied devices. With WebSocket integration, the app establishes real-time communication between users and servers, enhancing responsiveness and user experience. This phase encapsulates the essence of mobile-centric, agile development.

Step 6: Integration and Testing

Integration merges the front-end and back-end components of the app. Rigorous testing is then conducted across varied scenarios, like booking ambulances or tracking trips, ensuring all features operate flawlessly. Any detected errors or glitches are promptly debugged, guaranteeing a seamless user experience.

Step 7: Feedback and Iteration

A beta version of the app is released to a selected group, gathering crucial user feedback. This feedback highlights potential improvements and pinpoints any existing issues. Based on these insights, the app undergoes iterative enhancements, ensuring a refined and user-centric final product.

Step 8: Deployment

The application is launched on targeted platforms, emphasizing optimal performance. Key focus areas include ensuring scalability to accommodate multiple users and maintaining efficiency during simultaneous access, providing a seamless experience for every user.

Step 9: Post-launch Support and Updates

After the app's launch, it's crucial to maintain its functionality and user experience. Regular software updates and bug fixes ensure the app runs smoothly. By monitoring user feedback, developers can incorporate essential improvements. Additionally, dedicated support assists users with any technical issues they encounter, enhancing overall satisfaction.

Step 10: Continuous Monitoring and Improvements

Consistent scrutiny of user behaviors, trip data, and feedback is imperative to understand the app's performance. This data-driven approach ensures the platform's evolution, keeping it aligned with the latest tech trends and ensuring an optimal user experience.
