Short Description

A mobile application for managing cargo and vessel boarding operations with offline-first functionality and automatic data synchronization.

Full Description

DockMaster Mobile is a Flutter-based mobile application designed to support port officers in managing cargo handling and vessel boarding/unboarding operations directly from the field.

The app is built with an offline-first architecture, allowing users to record cargo tallies, crew logs, and vessel activities without requiring an internet connection. All data is securely stored locally and automatically synchronized with the central system once connectivity is restored.

This ensures uninterrupted operations in challenging network environments while maintaining data integrity and real-time visibility across the system.

• Risk of data loss or duplication

Solution

Developed a mobile app that:

• Works fully offline for data collection
• Stores data locally on the device
• Automatically syncs when internet is available
• Provides an intuitive interface for fast data entry
• Integrates seamlessly with the backend system

Result

• Enabled continuous data collection without internet
• Reduced delays in reporting vessel and cargo operations
• Improved accuracy and reliability of field data
• Streamlined communication between field officers and admin dashboard
