Client Requirement
Go Express is an application owned by Go Express Technologies Inc. With the increasing usage of e-commerce and smartphone applications, finding logistic service providers was the major issue. Leveraging safe, swift, and time-saving service was one of the Go Express Technologies' most significant challenges. To overcome this barrier, a Kuwait-based company approached Hyperlink Information – A leading mobile app development company, to develop native Android and iOS platforms that provides swift and hassle-free courier services to individuals and businesses. The client's main aim is to create an online platform that connects consumers and logistic service providers. Customers submit their pick-up requests routed to the Go drivers who use their own resources to drop-off various components/things. The app is designed in English and Arabic, and it is developed to provide domestic logistic services to Saudi Arabia residents.

Challenges
1. Display Of Limited Sub-Categories On The Screen:
Problem: Whenever a user selects the vehicle type, it needs to display only two sub-categories of the chosen vehicle on the screen.
Solution: To resolve this issue, our developers implemented their custom algorithm so that only two sub-categories will be displayed on the screen from the recycling view.
2. Handling Delete Notification:
Problem: Once the driver accepts the request, if the user cancels an item from the given order, it was hard to identify whether an item is deleted or an entire order is canceled and send push notification accordingly.
Solution: Our developers managed this scenario by passing flag value (0,1) where the status of deleted item or order is fetched in the value, and the push notification is sent accordingly.
3. Showing Navigation Path Between Pick-Up And Drop-Off:
Problem: Whenever the driver is assigned pick-up and drop-off location, he/she needs to get the entire path from pick-up to drop-off.
Solution: Our development team handled this scenario by using directionUsingGoogle() method of a map manager class to draw a polyline of the entire route from pick-up to drop-off.
