Bubble Courier and Logistics Platform
Small logistics companies dispatch via WhatsApp and invoice in Excel. A Bubble platform at $79-$199/month delivers job management, driver dispatch, real-time tracking, automated invoicing, and an account client portal – replacing manual operations with a professional system.
Small Logistics Companies Run on WhatsApp Dispatch and Manual Invoicing
Independent courier companies, same-day delivery services, local logistics operators, and specialist freight forwarders manage dispatch, driver coordination, client communication, and invoicing without purpose-built software. They use WhatsApp for driver dispatch, phone calls for delivery updates, and Excel for invoicing. A Bubble-built logistics management platform at $79-$199/month gives small logistics operators the operational infrastructure that large companies have without the enterprise complexity or cost.
What a Logistics Management Platform Needs
Job Management
Job creation with collection address, delivery address, service type, weight/dimensions, special instructions, and assigned driver. Job number generation. Priority flag for same-day. Barcode generation for physical labels.
Driver Dispatch
Driver app (mobile-optimised Bubble page): today’s job list with map links, job acceptance, collection confirmation, delivery confirmation with photo proof, and exception reporting (nobody home, address not found).
Real-Time Tracking
Live job status updated by drivers on their mobile. Client-facing tracking page accessible via unique URL in confirmation email: shows job status (Collected, In Transit, Delivered) with last updated timestamp.
Client Invoicing
Automatic invoice generation per job or consolidated weekly invoice per account client. Stripe payment collection or bank transfer tracking. Credit terms management for account clients. Overdue invoice chasing.
Operations Dashboard
Jobs by status in real time. Driver workload distribution. Jobs not yet collected past SLA. Failed deliveries requiring reattempt. Daily revenue vs. target. Exception management queue.
Account Client Portal
Clients with account status log in to book jobs, track all active deliveries, view delivery history, download invoices, and manage their address book. Reduces inbound calls significantly for repeat business clients.
Building the Driver Mobile Interface in Bubble
Job list data source
: Search for Jobs [assigned_driver=Current User, status!=Delivered, date=today]
// Job acceptance workflow
Accept button
: Update Job: status=Accepted, accepted_at=now
: Notify client: ‘Your driver is on the way’
// Delivery confirmation with photo proof
Complete Delivery
Step 1
: Upload proof_of_delivery photo (camera input on mobile)
Step 2
: Update Job: status=Delivered, delivered_at=now, pod_photo=uploaded file
Step 3
: Send delivery confirmation email to client with POD photo
Step 4
: Update driver daily_deliveries counter on Driver record
GPS Integration for Live Tracking
Use the browser’s Geolocation API (via Toolbox JavaScript) to capture the driver’s GPS coordinates every 2 minutes while on shift. Store each coordinate as a TrackingPoint record linked to the active Job. Display the latest coordinate on a Google Maps element for the client-facing tracking page. This feature alone justifies the monthly subscription fee for enterprise account clients who demand visibility.
