Overview

The project
in context.

iDlvr eliminates downtime on construction sites by dispatching couriers to deliver tools, timber, pipes, and hardware directly to active jobs. StartxLabs engineered dual iOS and Android apps for tradespeople and courier drivers, featuring upfront delivery quotes, vehicle sizing options, and live GPS driver tracking.

The challenge

What was
blocking progress.

Tradespeople stranded without materials lose hours of paid site labor while driving to suppliers to pick up parts.

01

Matching job-site material dimensions (e.g. 4m timber, heavy tools) to appropriate vehicle types (ute, van, flatbed)

02

Real-time courier dispatch based on supplier pickup location and site destination

03

Upfront transparent delivery pricing based on weight, distance, and vehicle class

04

Photo proof of delivery at active building site drop-off locations
