Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para la gestión de encomiendas en tiempo real en la ciudad de Machala

Abstract

Home parcel deliveries have had a very noticeable change as a result of the presence of COVID - 19, since the different users, whether the seller and/or beneficiary, have taken the use of companies that provide the service as an alternative, for a greater comfort or security, which is why parcel companies seek to improve service through the use of technology through electronic devices or applications that allow better control of the product and tracking in real time, which is of great importance, being a technology innovative. The main advantage is to be able to obtain the location of the vehicle and the delivery of the product in real time using the Google Maps API, so that the company can properly manage the delivery itinerary, through devices such as mobile phones. The degree work is based on the development of a mobile application for the management of parcels in real time, through the application the company can monitor in real time the location of the driver and the parcel, as well as the status of home delivery the client's. For the elaboration of this titling project, the SCRUM methodology will be applied, since it allows adapting different processes required for the development of the mobile application. The first point is to collect relevant information from scientific articles that allows recognizing the pros and cons that exist in this technology, for the implementation the tools will be used: Visual Code as a source code editor since it is compatible with different programming languages, Flutter which is a framework that provides a set of tools for the creation of interfaces for the application, its Dart complement used as a programming language for object-oriented development that is currently used in mobile applications and MySQL that as a database manager. data stores the application information. Technologies today allowed the development of projects thanks to their evolution, either in their way of integrating data, application and/or development, but most importantly and that has benefited many who have decided to enter the world of development. , is that the vast majority are free licenses, allowing easy access, and avoiding additional costs, so thanks to technological development it was possible to seek to automate and above all to reduce time, in different processes where intervention is necessary. of real-time technology that can be applied in fields such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence. The different evaluation metrics that comprise the ISO/IEC/25010 standard allowed an analysis of its performance, the way in which the application responds during execution time without neglecting the monitoring of resources. The different results were obtained through calculations in which I apply formulas depending on what was wanted to analyze in this case the action times, waiting times, in the case of performance external applications were used that allowed taking samples of the data before and after their performance of assigned tasks. Once evaluated and obtained the different results of the tests carried out, positive values are obtained with regard to its operation and performance on the mobile device.
