Newspaper Distribution & Delivery Platform
The distribution business coordinated hundreds of daily morning delivery drop-offs across multiple routes and distributor tiers entirely through physical logbooks and disjointed spreadsheets. Tracking daily distribution fluctuations, managing distributor accounts, reconciling monthly collections, and scheduling multi-publication deliveries created severe operational overhead, frequent billing disputes, and lack of operational visibility.
An end-to-end distribution and delivery management platform built for the operations side of a regional newspaper and morning-goods distribution business. Designed strictly as an internal operational hub rather than a customer self-service app, the system brings structured digital workflows to an industry traditionally run on fragmented paper notebooks and spreadsheets.
Rajni Techie designed and engineered a unified operational system consisting of an intuitive Android operational app paired with a resilient, lightweight FastAPI backend deployed on modern cloud infrastructure. The platform digitizes morning routes, tracks product line items per distributor, and enables real-time record reconciliation right from the distribution depot.
