Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The primary objective of this project is to create a comprehensive platform that transforms the moving services industry by developing a user-friendly app and website for both customers and movers. The platform will simplify the moving process for users by allowing them to create an account, book movers, and specify their moving details, such as addresses, items to be moved, and any additional services needed. They can also choose the type and number of vehicles and helpers required. The final booking page will provide an estimated price and payment options, ensuring a seamless experience.

The platform will streamline job management for movers by collecting data on their manpower, vehicles, and services, which they will update weekly. Movers will receive job requests that they can accept or reject within 24 hours. The platform will feature real-time tracking and scheduling, helping synchronize timing between movers and customers. An algorithm will connect users with movers based on ratings, reviews, proximity, and availability, ensuring high service quality and efficiency.

Technologically, the project will utilize Supabase for hosting, Postgres for database management, and server-side rendering for efficient data handling. Integration with payment systems like authorize.net will ensure secure transactions. The platform aims to address common industry challenges, such as staff shortages and efficient route planning, by incorporating real-time communication and flexible job management features.

Overall, this platform aims to enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency for movers, creating a revolutionary solution in the moving services industry.
