FlintFin is a platform that connects riders with aggregators like Zomato, Swiggy, and hyperlocal logistics companies such as Pidge. Some of the orders placed on these aggregators are fulfilled by riders connected through FlintFin. By launching order management and rider management solutions on Retool, FlintFin is reshaping how these orders are allocated and fulfilled, thus transforming the gig economy. This innovation ensures maximum utilization of riders, increases their income, and enhances fleet capacity across India's aggregator ecosystem, leading to improved outcomes for both aggregators and end-users
What would have normally taken many weeks to build was built in 20 hours. From data retrieval to backend workflows to frontend computations to UI design on Retool, our team's expertise ensured that every aspect of the project was executed with precision and efficiency
Order Management Application: The Heart of FlintFin's Innovation and Enhancing Operational Flexibility
The order management app serves as a central hub where all aggregator orders are intelligently mapped to available riders. It proves real-time insights into the status of each order, whether it's in transit, delivered, cancelled or in a return-to-origin process. This visibility not only streamlines operations but also ensures that every order is promptly and efficiently handled.
The system also facilitates manual order assignment and reallocation to riders, a crucial feature for addressing unexpected situations, such as when a rider is unable to fulfill an order or no riders are available. This flexibility allows FlintFin to swiftly adjust, reallocating orders as needed to ensure customer satisfaction and smooth operations.
Additionally, situations often arise where order statuses, such as 'customer refusing to accept order' or 'return to origin (RTO) in process,' need manual updates by FlintFin's operations team. The order management system enables immediate status changes, ensuring accurate communication across the platform.
Moreover, whenever a rider is allocated or reallocated through the order management app, or when an order's status is manually updated, FlintFin's backend databases are instantly refreshed. This update extends to the information shared with aggregators and their internal systems, including new rider details like phone numbers and names, or updated order statuses, maintaining a seamless flow of accurate information
Rider Management Dashboard: Empowering the Fleet
Parallel to the order management application, FlintFin's rider management dashboard offers a comprehensive overview of the rider workforce. It displays vital information such as the availability of riders to take orders and their login status on FlintFin's app. This tool is crucial for allocating or reallocating orders and managing the workforce effectively, ensuring that free riders can be promptly assigned or reassigned to pending orders, thereby minimizing downtime and optimizing service delivery
