Powered 7-Eleven's market-leading expansion through custom-built logistics infrastructure

$65M Platform Acquisition Enabling Enterprise-Scale Operations Leadership

Modernizing Delivery Operations for a Changing Market

Traditional delivery services fragmented the customer journey forcing brands to surrender the final, most critical interaction to third-party apps. This stripped companies of control over quality, timing, and experience at the last mile.

Skipcart saw the opportunity to reshape this dynamic: "We aren’t just delivering packages, we’re delivering your customer’s final impression."

This led to the creation of a white-label logistics network that preserved brand integrity while scaling fleet operations to rival major players like DoorDash.

Driver turnover costs logistics companies $15,000+ per person, with system complexity cited as the leading cause for 68% of fleet departures.

INDUSTRY LANDSCAPE

Problem-Solving Blueprint for Complex Logistics

  • Led in-depth user research to uncover real driver needs—including safe, single-handed operation and simple workflows for unpredictable delivery environments.
  • Integrated Google’s On-Demand Rides and Deliveries Solution (ODRD) toolkit to enable smart route prediction and boost driver profitability.
  • Engineered a secure, scalable data framework (Merkle tree structure) that combined job management, routing, and customer updates into a single, intuitive environment.
  • Simplified complex fleet operations into mobile-friendly, easy-to-learn tools—improving driver efficiency while keeping safety a top priority.

"The accuracy of Google Maps was key to securing enterprise partnerships. We gave clients precise delivery timing down to the minute—setting us apart for reliability."

Balancing User Experience with Enterprise Demands

Skipcart’s product design harmonized user-centered thinking with large-scale operational demands through four essential principles:

 

01

Driver Safety First

Single-handed controls and voice-assisted features ensured drivers kept their attention on the road while accessing critical functions.

02

Clarity in Any Condition

Smart information layout and contrast adjustments kept the interface clear from sunrise to late-night shifts regardless of lighting or weather.

03

Cognitive Ease

Prioritized must-know details while reducing unnecessary decision-making helping drivers perform under pressure without sacrificing awareness.

04

Seamless Operational Flow

All tasks—from accepting jobs to managing routes and communicating with customers—were brought into a streamlined, touch-friendly environment. No need to jump between apps.

"Skipcart achieved exactly what they envisioned—a crisp, functional, and visually sharp experience. Fleet coordination was transformed, performance rose, and safety stayed front and center. This shows how strong design can balance complexity with ease of use."

Reimagining Operational Infrastructure for Growth

A detailed analysis of competing services revealed a major gap: drivers had to switch between multiple disconnected apps to finish each delivery. Skipcart saw the opportunity to unify these touchpoints into one integrated workflow.
