In a nutshell we developed a fully functional platform : A B2B Freight Marketplace that connects carriers (Service providers) with Shippers (Consumer companies) providing carrier with constant volume of shipments and offering shipper best availability and price.
Backend in NestJS with TypeORM Frontend in ReactJS DevOps Infra Azure and AWS
A data-driven completely automated and dynamic real time platform that is able to deliver seamless registration of frontend users (carriers) with the requirements of the shippers. Automation is key and real time data processing is paramount.
What we built
