Trackter - A Marketplace Bidding Portal
Trackter is a marketplace bidding portal where seller can get the
justified rate for their product by getting connected with buyers directly and vice versa.
Also once
there is a deal between buyer and seller then seller can hire shipper/truck driver as well through
the same portal.
Client Goals
As per the client, there were no less than three different systems being used in every produce transaction: the buyer’s produce tendering platform, the shipper’s sales program, and the freight company’s load board; eventually, making it tedious to manage. This pain point led to the discovery of Trackter where the platform streamlines all these system into one easy to use platform.
Our client aspired for a solution that will allow shippers, buyers, and transportation services to relay information in a timely, efficient manner. Also he envisioned it to be a perfect marketplace, load board, rating service, and tracking system.
Wireframes
As a next step, the Design team created a set of detailed wireframes for the Android and iOS platform. Developed collaboratively over a series of iterations, these defined in detail the app views for Driver. While on the web it covered three user roles: Customer/Carrier/Warehouse Manager.
