Products & Systems Overview 

You will be contributing to products concerning both customers and partner drivers. 

• Customer App:  

• All orders serviced by Porter are placed from this app making it our primary business driver. o To keep the code for this large complex app maintainable, there is a heavy emphasis on good  design and architecture. Currently the RIBsframework is used to break the code recursively into  smaller components. 
• To ensure feature parity and consistency across our Android and iOS platforms, weuse Kotlin  Multiplatformto re-use business logic code across the two platforms. 

 

• Partner App:  

• All orders serviced by Porter are fulfilled by drivers using this app. 
• Given that the app is expected to run for long hours on cheaper phones there is a heavy  emphasis on keeping the apps performant - optimizing battery consumption and memory  usage. 
• The app serves as a medium for onboarding - providing functionality for partners to upload and  verify their documents using Image Processing. 
• To train the drivers for every new feature launched, we provide a guided audio-visual  training session - using visual cues like hint to click / swipe with synchronized pre 
• configured audio to guide him through the sequence of steps. 

 

• Fleet Owner Apps:  

• A multi-platform app for fleet owners to manage their drivers and track their performance  and earnings on our platform. 
• Allow them to bid for new client contracts.
