About The Project

Labor_Tracker is a mobile-first delivery tracking system that helps field workers, drivers, and dispatchers manage their entire delivery workflow-clock-in to delivery drop-off-in one seamless app. Whether you're managing a fleet or a single delivery, the app tracks:

Start and end times

Travel time and routes via GPS

Delivery completion (with optional QR scan)

Real-time status across roles

With Firebase Cloud handling live data sync, and a GPS API providing location precision, Labor_Tracker ensures every job is documented, verified, and stored in the cloud. This will reduce administrative tasks while increasing accountability and transparency.

The app also supports Smart Boxes for secure, on-site drop-offs and auto-verification-plus role-based screens for Drivers, Dispatch Leads, Admins, and Customers.
