Existing System

Courier service is not complete until the dispatched parcel gets to the final
recipient and the delivery report to sender. This service is best if it can be efficient
in the three stages of the service, viz-a-viz: pre-courier, courier and post-courier
activities. The pre-courier activities encompass all the preparatory actions taken
before the dispatch of the parcel. This includes identifying the courier
agents/company, costing the service, specifying the delivery variables and
registering the parcel for dispersal. The uncertainty of the costs of sending the
package has become a big problem in the system. There is need for clients to know
how much it will cost them to send a package from the comfort of their home or
offices before making any move so as to eliminate some untold disappointments.
The system will have the cost estimation capability using the parameters of date,
time frame, weight, distance and delivery preference supplied by the clients
thereby informing a potential user the cost of sending a particular package and the
expected delivery date and time ahead of the initiation of the service proper. There
are associated stress and time wastage from the customers’ point of view in going
to the courier office as well as waiting on the service queue just to send packages.
Therefore, it will be significant for the system to make room for users to send a
request for service after the necessary pre-courier services and then a courier agent
can come to clients location to pick up the package for delivery. Ineffective
tracking system in the existing courier service is another problem to the
customer’s satisfaction of the service. With a mobile network platform, an easier,
better and faster way of tracking users parcels coupled with a notification
service which can be in form of an app custom notification or
telecommunication SMS can be provided. Some courier agents may find it
difficult to locate recipient of the package being sent.
Proposed System

The user’s participation in the courier service using the mobile application makes
the meeting ground very efficient. The courier agent can easily seek for direction
and redirection from either/both the sender or/and the recipient using the mobile
app. This is the turning point in the user’s participation in courier service. At some
point in time, the courier agents can also use the app to easily locate a customer’s
address with the aid of Google map API. This API assists courier agents navigating
to their picking or delivery points. At the final dispatch, both the recipient and
sender can acknowledge the service completion using the mobile platform. This is
regarded as the user’s participation in post-courier service. In addition, It
introduces a faster way to lay complain about a delay in delivery or missing
package. In this regards, fast means of communication between the customer and
the agency is enhanced via virtualization of space using sms billing for both sender
and receiver.
