Company Overview

Dodelivery is a rapidly growing delivery service company based in Kuwait City. The platform handles over 600+ orders per day, offering reliable pickup and drop-off services across the region.
The system is designed to efficiently manage a large fleet of 300+ drivers through a centralized dispatcher dashboard, ensuring smooth operations and real-time tracking.
Dodelivery supports cross-platform integrations, allowing multiple external systems and vendors to seamlessly push their orders into the platform. This flexibility enables faster order processing and improved delivery efficiency.

Challenges Faced

Prior to collaborating with Commerce9, Dodelivery faced multiple challenges that hindered its digital growth and negatively impacted the overall user experience. The company had purchased the source code from a third-party vendor, but the system was built on outdated technologies and lacked stability, scalability, and proper structure.

- Outdated and Poor Code Structure
  Upon project takeover, nearly 90% of the existing functionalities were either broken or not working as expected Significant effort was required for bug fixing and logic correction Around 70% of critical features were missing, including major modules like rider and B2C applications Codebase lacked modularity, making it difficult to maintain and scale.
- Outdated Technology Stack
  The platform was built using older versions of frameworks and libraries Lack of support for modern tools, security updates, and performance optimizations Compatibility issues with newer devices and APIs Increased risk of security vulnerabilities due to outdated dependencies
- Heavy Load Handling & UI Issues
  The system struggled to handle high volumes of concurrent orders and users Frequent slowdowns and performance bottlenecks during peak hours Poorly optimized frontend caused UI lag and unresponsive screens Inconsistent user interface affecting dispatcher and admin productivity.
- Lack of Mobile Applications
  No fully functional driver (rider) mobile application Absence of a customer (B2C) app, limiting business expansion Existing mobile modules (if any) were incomplete or unstable No real-time communication between drivers, customers, and dispatchers.
- Lack of Coding Standards
  No adherence to industry-standard coding practices Inconsistent naming conventions and file structures Difficult for new developers to understand and contribute Increased chances of bugs and technical debt.
- Unstructured and Bulk Coding
  Large portions of code were written in a monolithic and unorganized manner Repeated code blocks without proper reuse (no DRY principle) Lack of separation between business logic and presentation layers Difficult to debug, test, and extend functionalities.
- Weak Database Structure & Inefficient Algorithms
  Poorly designed database schema leading to data redundancy and inconsistency Inefficient queries causing slow data retrieval and performance issues Missing indexing and relationships between tables Lack of optimized algorithms for order assignment, tracking, and reporting .
