Logistics Coordination Engine

A real-time dispatch and coordination platform for last-mile delivery fleets.

Logistics Coordination Engine

Problem Context

Manual dispatching and location latency (>30s) led to inefficient route assignments and high fuel costs.

The Engineering Solution

High-frequency WebSocket coordination pipeline with PostGIS spatial indices. Driver locations updated every 2s for instant routing and closest-driver assignment.

Lessons Learned

"Working with WebSockets taught me about persistent connection management and the importance of backpressure in reactive streams."
