As a transport company with years of on-ground experience, we saw a huge gap in how small businesses and individuals manage logistics in India โ€” especially when it comes to real-time tracking, instant booking, and accessible information.

Thatโ€™s why we built MITCO, a user-friendly mobile app (available on Apple App Store) that lets users book, track, and manage their transport needs in just a few taps.
๐Ÿ“ฆ The Problem We Solved

In India, logistics services are often manual, opaque, and difficult to track. Customers and companies face challenges like:

No visibility on vehicle location

Manual booking and communication

No digital record of past deliveries

Delays without updates

๐Ÿ“ Live Tracking โ€“ Know where your vehicle is, always.

๐Ÿ“ฒ One-Click Booking โ€“ No phone calls or long forms.

๐Ÿงพ Trip Records โ€“ View history and download documents.

๐Ÿ”” Instant Notifications โ€“ Get updates on the go.

Built natively for iOS, MITCO uses Swift and Firebase for real-time data syncing and push notifications, ensuring the experience is smooth and responsive.
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tech Stack

Hereโ€™s a quick overview of what powers MITCO:

Frontend: Swift (iOS)

Backend: Firebase (Realtime DB + Auth)

Push Notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

Analytics: Firebase + custom event tracking

We kept the app lightweight to ensure it performs well even in low-network areas, which is common in many Indian regions.
๐Ÿง  Lessons Learned

Build with the end-user in mind. Our target audience isn't just tech-savvy users, so UI/UX had to be dead simple.

Test in real-world conditions. We beta-tested with transport drivers and office managers in cities like Delhi and Jaipur.

Always iterate. Weโ€™re adding new features like e-POD (proof of delivery), payment integration, and multi-language support.
