Client background
VanMile is an on-demand, real-time, local moving and delivery service venture launched by Cargo Community Network (CCN) who is a leader in providing cargo community systems for the air cargo industry.
VanMile is a marketplace which connects laborers who have box truck, pickup truck, etc. with individuals who have various delivery and moving needs. VanMile provides its services in Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Raleigh, and Washington.
What was the objective of the client?
Cargo Community Network (CCN) saw a significant gap between on-demand delivery service providers and the customers seeking help in moving their belongings. They wanted to create a simple and affordable request based solution in the form of an app that connects helpers with help seekers.
How Credencys helped the client in achieving the objective?
Before providing the solution, it was paramount for Credencys to identify various user personas. In our discovery workshop, we identified two different user personas as 'the driver' and 'the client.' At the end of the discovery workshop, it was concluded that we build two separate mobile apps for drivers and customers.
Key features of the application
Instant booking
The app has five pre-defined models from which customers need to choose one. Pickup with one man, pickup with two men, only two men, truck and two men, and long-distance transport. Once a customer chooses the model they must enter the pickup and dropoff locations to get the final pricing. After getting the pricing a customer can directly check out and make the payment to confirm their booking.
