TransMogul

TransMogul is a logistics platform designed with the core functionality of matching loads owners with track owners offering freight exchange service, ensuring full efficiency in the process.

Challenge

Build a scalable application

Transmogul solution is built with the concept of scalability in mind, for that reason, we needed a technology that was easy to develop and maintain. We had the possibility to work with a large number of international expert teams. One of the biggest challenges of this project was to blend ideas and implement them into a web application in a narrow timing window.

During the development process, we came across with the following challenges :

Implementing and securing user payments
A lightweight and easy to use solution.
Adapting the UI/UX in different platforms from the same source code

Our Approach

Develop and get feedback, quickly.

1. Implementing and securing user payments.

Transmogul business model is subscription-based. After a user registers into the platform, they have the right to choose between three different plans. The supported payment method is PayPal. The user can choose between different offers like for example paying a one-time fee, or subscribing for a full year payment plan.

2. A lightweight and easy to use solution

As a startup, we needed to develop a product fast so it reaches it’s audience on time, in order to be validated by them. To deal with this problem, we decided to use Angular, so we would be able to develop fast and not compromise the user experience.

An extra effort was needed in regards to the project structure since the web application was going to be exported into mobile later on. We tried to keep everything simple, we paid attention to every UI element, using CSS to perform animations in order to make it optimized for mobile users.

3. Adapting the UI/UX in different platforms from the same source code

The app was ready to be shipped and delivered. The functionalities were tested, yet there were a few UI/UX
adjustments that were not good enough for specific platforms. In order to reach the stakeholder’s expectations, we needed to create native components, specifically in android and ios platforms, using Cordova.

Business Value

Pick and ship with one click

The solution developed aims to facilitate the process of finding a truck for the customer load, and the other way around, and makes it as easier as possible.

This solution will not only work on logistic businesses who transport loads to be more cost-efficient but will also help anyone who needs to transport any kind of goods or anyone who’s able to carry goods with their truck around Europe.
