Client & Context
GCC distribution & logistics operator — shared with client permission; company name withheld under our standard NDA
A major GCC distribution company relied on paper manifests for deliveries in remote areas with poor cell coverage. This caused a 48-hour delay in inventory reconciliation and frequent invoicing errors.
The Challenge
Develop a cross-platform mobile application that functions entirely offline, securely queues hundreds of transactions, and syncs reliably without data loss or duplication when the driver returns to a coverage zone.
Our Approach
We built a React Native app utilizing WatermelonDB for high-performance local data storage and offline-first architecture. We implemented a custom sync engine with conflict resolution and background tasks to ensure data consistency with their legacy ERP system.
The Results
- Zero data loss reported across 150+ daily active field workers
- Inventory reconciliation delay reduced from 48 hours to near real-time
- Paper-based errors eliminated, saving estimated $120k annually
