Paper transport documents replaced by an app with e-signatures

• The goal was to build a flexible system that:
• Digitizes and streamlines the flow of transport documents.
• Lets users sign documents and share them in real time.
• Works in real time and supports multiple languages.

The biggest challenge was building a scalable system that meets the needs of users in different markets and can keep growing without a major rebuild of the application architecture.

The Boring Owl team developed and delivered a solution built on a modern tech stack:

• Frontend: React.js, providing a responsive, fast and scalable user interface.
• Backend: Django, a stable and secure Python framework that handles the business logic and database communication.
• Hosting and infrastructure: Amazon Web Services (AWS), for reliability and scalability.
• Database and cache: Redis, for fast data access and real-time event handling.
• Integrations: an SMS API for notifications and integrations with external transport APIs.

• Management of the entire transport process from order to delivery.
• Real-time updates of shipment status.
• A system for adding electronic signatures to documents.
• PDF generation directly in the app (Headless Chrome).
• Form autofill and an extensive user permissions system.
• Support for multiple languages.

• Paper-based document flow moved to a digital environment.
• Faster processing of freight forwarding operations.
• More transparent and secure documentation.
• More efficient logistics teams, thanks to better work organization and faster information flow.
