Affordable Delivery to every Canadian
What it does
The USP of this application is affordable delivery for every Canadian. The cost of home delivery of items ranges from about $10 - $20, however using this application the delivery cost can be brought down to about $2-$3. The reason being the deliveries are done using the OC Transpo infrastructure with a monthly pass of $200. Further students and people who don’t have a car can participate in delivery of items and earn money. It is a Web App which supports the delivery of items at OC Transpo Bus stops. Using the app the customer can request the delivery/pickup of an item at the bus stop nearest to him. The customer can track the delivery of his orders and is also notified when the delivery/pickup is about to reach the requested bus stop. Upon receiving the notification the customer reaches the bus stop to hand over the items for delivery or accepts the item delivery. The application has the following key features: • Accepts item delivery/pickup request from the customers • Notifies the customer when the delivery/pickup is about to reach his nearest bus stop • Delivers/Picks up items at the requested bus stop
How we built it
The application is built using Java swing and Solace event broker. There are two applications, one sending messages (a producer) and one receiving messages (consumer) which are communicating with each other.
