An AI Transportation App For Truckers And Shippers
HJM is an AI-powered truckers and shippers app developed by our expert Android and iOS developers for our Saudi Arabia-based client. It leverages AI for intelligent load matching and logistics optimization. Using this app, finding a reliable trucker becomes easy, streamlining the shipment orders. It allows organizations to overcome the challenges of shipping products and reduce logistics issues.
On-Demand Transportation App Project Synopsis
Increasing demand in the commercial shipment industry has led to several operational challenges. Our client aimed to overcome these challenges through an AI-powered transport solution in Saudi Arabia. By streamlining all activities, including shipping, transportation, and last-mile deliveries, an AI-based solution was envisioned to improve safety and convenience.
The trucking app was designed to deliver an AI-driven transport booking system that fosters trust through safe, reliable transportation. It optimizes connections between shippers and truckers across Saudi Arabia using machine learning. These connections are on reliability scores, preferences, and real-time logistics data.

Clients Requirements for Transportation App
The client wanted to create an on-demand transportation aggregator app that uses AI to connect transport service providers with shipment businesses in Saudi Arabia. The app was aimed at B2B shipping businesses looking to find reliable truckers nearby.
The main goal of the transportation app was to create a unique space for truckers and shippers to connect easily. It was about making shipment booking easy and building a community of trustworthy truckers that shippers can choose from for their shipment orders. The client wanted two separate apps for shippers and truckers. So, a total of four apps were needed across Android and iOS.
Our Approach
As soon as we got the requirements, we constructed a team to build the truck app that included senior-most developers, designers and a project manager. The team studied the needs and went through a detailed analysis.
Once we completed our initial analysis, we contacted our client, narrated everything, including tech specs, feature suggestions, required resources and time to develop the app for transportation and overall cost to develop the app.
Our client liked our suggestions and everything we suggested to implement in the app. The time and costs were matching the client’s requirements. So, we got a green signal to kick start the project.
Features of Transportation App
The transportation app for HJM Tech created by our team has two panels —one for shippers and the other for carriers. Besides, one admin panel. Let’s take a look at the top features that both panels consist of.

The Key Challenges We Faced During App Development
We cannot imagine any exceptional work without challenges. The transportation app was no exception to that. Let’s take a look at the top two challenges that kept us exploring a little longer.
Half-Way Destination
Creating a transportation app with AI-based features was challenging due to data quality and scale issues. Our team needed to customize the AI models and develop features to help truckers avoid delays and downtime and improve efficiency. We used data validation processes to overcome this and ensured high-quality data. Plus, our team created features like route optimization and predictive maintenance to reduce delays and downtime.
Loading and Unloading Timer
Shippers can book trucks using the AI-based load matching algorithm. Creating this feature was a challenge because our team had to customize the AI model based on the data from different truckers and shippers. We trained the models and created a system that could match the load in real time to suggest the most suitable truckers. To protect truckers from delays, we also added a policy in the system where shippers have to bear extra charges if there are delays in loading or unloading.
