Context

The problem and my role

Problem

Delivery teams lose visibility once the day starts — routes live in one tool, drivers in another, and proof of delivery is a paper trail (or an afterthought).

Role

Built Route & Ride for customer delivery operations: optimize routes, execute rides, manage zones and orgs, and capture doorstep signatures with auditability.

Constraints

  • Multi-stop optimization with real traffic/toll/travel-mode settings
  • Org workspaces with shared destinations, drivers, and CSV import
  • Zone-based operations with polygon geofences
  • Proof of delivery via recipient name + signature
  • Admin/billing for plans, subscriptions, and transactions

Execution

What I built

  • Built route planning with departure time, traffic models, toll avoidance, travel mode, and units.
  • Integrated Google Directions waypoint optimization for reordering stops (up to 25 intermediate stops).
  • Modeled organizations with address books, drivers, slug-based workspaces, and CSV import.
  • Added polygon zones and driver-to-zone assignment for clearer ops ownership.
  • Implemented rides as executable assignments with stop states, progress tracking, and periodic GPS points.
  • Required per-destination signatures for proof of delivery and platform admin/billing tooling.

Results

Outcomes

  • Single workflow from plan → assign → execute → prove.
  • Operational visibility during the day, not just at planning time.
  • Live product at routenride.com with app access for planning pilots.

Notes

Notes from the system

Operations, not just maps

Routing is necessary but insufficient — the product closes the loop with rides, zones, signatures, and tracking so teams can run the day and prove the delivery.
