Implementación de una aplicación móvil con tecnología georeferencial para la empresa Kawsafoods para mejorar la eficiencia en el proceso

Abstract

The objective of thesis was the implementation of a mobile application with geo-referenced technology for the Kawsafoods Company to improve the efficiency of the product delivery process. For this purpose, we utilized the agile methodology of mobile application development Mobile-D, which allowed constant contact between the client and the development team, resulting in a quick response to the different changes in the requirements and shortening product delivery times. We developed the mobile application utilizing React Native, Node Js development technologies and Firebase as a database. The result of the development of the mobile application aimed at the management and delivery of products of the Kawsafoods Company improved the efficiency of product delivery by reducing time by obtaining better delivery routes and displaying the current status of the order of the customers in real time. In conclusion, it was possible to demonstrate that, through the use of the mobile application during product delivery, Kawsafoods improved its efficiency by 14% with respect to the time averages initially obtained, with a total reduction of 20 minutes. It is recommended to analyze the features that are paid in the different apis or libraries utilized, for instance in the Google maps API, since there are several functions that are paid, such as the tracing of routes outside the Google Maps application itself.
