App for concrete delivery management

Project Overview

iStrada is a field-focused iOS application that streamlines concrete delivery operations by enhancing real-time communication, tracking, and data collection. The app bridges the gap between dispatchers and drivers, enabling faster delivery cycles, smarter routing, and more reliable oversight of field assets.

This solution was built for environments where timing, coordination, and accurate status reporting are mission-critical — such as construction logistics and heavy-equipment dispatch.

Key Business Challenges

In concrete delivery and similar industries, operations teams face several challenges:

• Lack of real-time communication between dispatch and drivers

• Inability to track vehicle location continuously — especially in the background

• Difficulty gathering reliable vehicle and sensor data

• Inefficient coordination among drivers

The goal with iStrada was to solve these problems through a high-performance, real-time mobile platform optimized for field use.

Core Features & Solutions

We developed iStrada with several advanced features tailored to the needs of delivery operations:

📱 Real-Time Chat Between Drivers & Dispatchers

To improve coordination and responsiveness, iStrada supports:

• Driver ⇄ Dispatcher chat

• Driver ⇄ Driver messaging

These features reduce delays, clarify instructions, and improve operational communication across teams.

📍 Background Location Tracking

iStrada collects continuous location updates even when the app is running in the background, essential for accurate delivery tracking and performance analytics. This ensures dispatchers know exactly where vehicles are and can make better routing decisions.

🔧 BLE Sensor Integration

The app integrates with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors installed on vehicles. This allows the collection of real-time equipment and delivery data — such as load status, temperature, or sensor-based metrics — directly into the app and backend systems.

Technology Stack

To support these advanced features while maintaining performance and scalability, we chose the following technologies:

• RxSwift — For reactive, asynchronous event handling and robust state management

• Twilio — To power real-time chat, messaging, and communication services

• Mapbox & Google Maps SDKs — For flexible and accurate mapping, routing, and location visualization

This combination enabled us to deliver:

• Real-time bidirectional communication

• Efficient background location updates

• High-performance mapping and navigation

• Scalable integrations with sensors and external services

Results & Impact

The iStrada app empowers concrete delivery operations with:

• Faster dispatch communication and fewer workflow bottlenecks

• Accurate real-time location tracking, even in background mode

• Driver collaboration tools to improve team response times

• BLE sensor data collection for better operational visibility

By transforming how field teams communicate and coordinate, iStrada contributes to improved delivery efficiency and lower operational friction.

Why This Project Matters

Field operations and logistics apps require a unique set of capabilities:

• Reliable communication under dynamic conditions

• Persistent background tracking

• Sensor data collection and contextual awareness

• Responsive maps and navigation

This project demonstrates our ability to deliver tailored mobile solutions that meet real-world, high-demand requirements — especially where timing and communication are essential.
