Inspiration

Nowadays, courier is one of the business fields that will not be deserted. Because many people are turning to shopping online. Shipping costs and delivery time are a problem, people wants cheap shipping cost but with faster delivery.

What it does

That's why we have idea that we call "BANTUIN" or in english "Bring it please!". This is the example how Bantuin works :

  1. Sofia is from Jakarta, and want to send package to her sister Rani in Bandung.
  2. Distance between Jakarta and Bandung is about 150 KM or 2.5 hour drive.
  3. Sofia can't use GO-SEND or GRAB because the distance is too far
  4. If Sofia use regular courier like JNE, J&T, POS, JET etc the earliest it arrived was the next day.But Rani need that package today. So the only option for nowadays is Sofia need to send package directly to Rani in Bandung, pay extra cost for gas, highway road, food etc. And also spent 5 hour driving to go to Bandung and back again to Jakarta.

And finally, Sofia find out the faster and cheaper courier that we build (Bantuin). Then what Sofia need to do is :

  1. Asking help (Post in Bantuin), and explain where she want to send the package and the date
  2. All people (User) that already registered in Bantuin that have activity in Jakarta and Bandung will get notification about that new posting. And they can volunteered to deliver the package to Rani in Bandung using bid featur in Bantuin. They will put information about Shipping Cost, Estimation Delivery Date and Estimation Time Arrival in destination.
  3. Budi is work in Jakarta, and in that day he want to go back to Bandung then he bid on Sofia posting.
  4. Sofia get the notification from all applicant, then she choosing Budi as her courier due to cheap Shipping Cost and good rating. Why cheap? Because with or without Sofia package, Budi wil go to Bandung.
  5. Budi will pick up the package to Sofia and bring it to Rani in Bandung
  6. After finish the delivery, Sofia will approve in apps then Budi will get his money after complete the delivery
  7. With "Bantuin", Everyone can get additional money by helping to send other people's goods in the same direction as the destination address where they are going.

How we built it

We built it using Codeigniter as a framework, this apps is web base, using MySQL as database. We split the job to all team member. We work together, have a lot of discussion to make sure this prototype works properly

Challenges we ran into

Create one project with more than one people is never easy because everyone have their own ego. But because we built this apps as a team, we have to prioritizing our goals. This is the first time hackathon for two from three of our team member. They feel exhausted having to complete the application in 36 Hour.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Finish the prototype on time is our best accomplishments.

What we learned

We learned a lot about team work, having good discusion to solve our problem about development, and have a lot of new knowledge because of webinar

What's next for Bantuin

Garuda Hacks is not the end of Bantuin, this is just Beginning. We will try harder to finish this apps and help more people to increase their economy.
