Problem
Transport and equipment requests need a traceable process from service selection and route details through capacity confirmation, booking and delivery updates, with distinct tools for customers and operators.
Scope
The repository implements a marketplace application and public service website for transport, trailer hire and enquiry-led heavy equipment and vehicle support. It includes role-based customer, driver, partner, dispatcher and administration workflows.
Solution
PickItUp combines a customer booking and tracking experience with operational workflows for offers, resource assignment and delivery proof. Public service paths clearly distinguish book-online journeys from services that begin with an enquiry. Production payment, provider and operating readiness remain subject to documented release gates.
Stack
- React and TypeScript
- Node.js and Express API

Platform features built
- Customer quote and booking flow with route details, approved price snapshots, capacity checks and booking status/proof views.
- Driver application and document workflow, job offers, progress updates and delivery proof.

- Dispatcher assignment and offers, plus admin controls for providers, assets, rates, staff and reconciliation records.
- Public service discovery for transport and trailer hire, with enquiry-first paths for heavy equipment and PitStop vehicle support.
Implementation
- Built the public website and database-backed marketplace as connected customer and operations experiences.
- Added role-specific workflows and server-side booking rules for approved prices, capacity and stored booking terms.
- Documented external provider, admin provisioning, payment settlement, webhook and email checks as explicit launch gates.
