In large organizations, managing transportation efficiently is a significant challenge. BRAC iFleet was developed as an innovative solution to streamline the process of requesting and managing official trips using BRAC-owned vehicles. This transport management system serves multiple entities within BRAC, including BRAC Bank, Aarong, BRAC University, and BRAC NGO workers, enabling them to request road trips seamlessly through a digital platform.
Project Overview
BRAC iFleet consists of two applications:
BRAC Fleet User – Designed for employees and staff to request vehicles, manage bookings, and track trips in real-time.
BRAC Fleet Driver – Built for drivers to receive trip requests, navigate to pickup and drop-off locations, and manage their schedules efficiently.
The system automates the allocation of vehicles, reducing manual effort and improving travel efficiency across BRAC organizations.
Technology Stack
To ensure high performance, scalability, and a smooth user experience, we utilized modern technologies and best practices, including:
Android MVVM Architecture: Implemented to maintain a clean code structure and ensure better separation of concerns.
Kotlin Multiplatform: Used for sharing business logic across Android and other platforms, improving development efficiency.
Jetpack Compose: Adopted for modern, declarative UI design, making the app more flexible and responsive.
Key Features
User Authentication System: I designed and implemented a secure authentication mechanism, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access the system.
Real-time Notifications: Developed an instant notification system for trip approvals, ride status updates, and driver availability, enhancing communication between users and drivers.
Seamless Booking & Scheduling: Users can schedule trips in advance, ensuring proper planning and utilization of company vehicles.
Live Tracking & Navigation: Integrated GPS-based tracking to provide real-time updates on vehicle locations, enhancing safety and efficiency.
Automated Trip Assignment: The system intelligently assigns available drivers based on trip requests, optimizing resource utilization.
Comprehensive Reporting & Logs: Maintains a detailed trip history and usage reports, helping the organization track travel expenses and optimize fleet operations.
Project Impact
The BRAC iFleet system has significantly improved internal transportation management, reducing delays and manual coordination efforts. Employees now experience a hassle-free booking process, while drivers can manage their schedules more effectively. By leveraging modern Android development practices, the app ensures a smooth and responsive experience for all users.
My Role in the Project
I played a crucial role in the development of BRAC iFleet, particularly focusing on:
Authentication System: Designed a robust login and authorization system to enhance security.
Real-time Notifications: Implemented push notifications and in-app alerts to improve communication between users and drivers.
Core App Development: Contributed to the architecture and overall functionality, ensuring the app’s reliability and scalability.
Conclusion
BRAC iFleet is a testament to how digital transformation can enhance organizational efficiency. With a combination of modern Android technologies and a user-centric approach, the app has become an essential tool for BRAC’s transportation management. This five-year-long project reflects my expertise in mobile app development, Kotlin Multiplatform, and real-time system implementation, making it a significant highlight in my portfolio.
