Easymove
On-Demand Delivery & Moving Services
Project overview
Easymove is On-Demand Delivery & Moving Services. Easymove is the smartest, easy way for apartment moving and furniture delivery from IKEA, Costco, Sears, Big Lots and etc. Built with high standards for performance, security, and intuitive user experiences, the platform is engineered to support mission-critical workflows and seamless scale.
What was the problem or pain point
Client Dilemma & Technical Bottleneck
Easymove operates an on-demand moving and furniture delivery marketplace connecting apartment dwellers and retail furniture shoppers with local truck and van helpers. The startup struggled with unreliable upfront pricing calculations, lack of live truck tracking during transits, communication friction between customers and drivers, and manual dispute resolutions when oversized items required multi-person lifting.
What we suggested to the client
Solid Sphere Architectural Recommendation
Solid Sphere recommended building an Uber-like end-to-end moving logistics ecosystem: a customer mobile booking app with instant algorithmic pricing, a dedicated helper/driver mobile app with turn-by-turn navigation, and an administrative dispatch dashboard. We proposed dynamic pricing based on distance, cargo volume, floor levels, and elevator availability, paired with real-time GPS tracking via WebSockets.
What made this project challenging
Connecting users with vetted truck owners for on-demand furniture delivery and apartment moves
Calculating transparent, instant upfront quotes based on distance, floor level, and cargo volume
Live GPS tracking of moving trucks with real-time ETA updates for anxious movers
Facilitating in-app driver communication, photo proof of cargo delivery, and tip disbursements
What was implemented and how it was implemented
Step-by-Step Technical Execution
We built cross-platform mobile applications in React Native for both customers and moving helpers. Customers can enter pick-up and drop-off addresses, select apartment floor numbers, indicate elevator access, and take photos of furniture items to receive guaranteed upfront pricing. We developed an intelligent dispatch engine in Node.js that broadcasts available jobs to qualified nearby truck owners based on vehicle cargo capacity and proximity. Using Google Maps SDK and Socket.io, the platform streams live vehicle coordinates from the helper's app to the customer's phone during transit. We integrated Stripe with escrow payment holds: the customer is charged upon job booking, but funds are released only after the customer inspects delivered furniture and enters a delivery confirmation PIN. The admin dashboard provides live fleet tracking and rapid support resolution.
How we delivered
Engineered dual mobile applications for customers and truck drivers with background GPS tracking
Built dynamic pricing engine factoring mileage, heavy item surcharges, and helper requirements
Integrated real-time socket updates for live map vehicle movement and instant status changes
Developed automated driver onboarding pipeline with document validation and vehicle inspections
What did we use to implement it
Technology Stack & Technical Rationale
React Native enabled rapid, unified mobile app development for iOS and Android with native performance for geolocation and camera interactions. Node.js and PostgreSQL powered the real-time logistics engine, order state machine, and pricing algorithms. Socket.io delivered bidirectional WebSocket communication for live vehicle tracking. Google Maps Platform handled geocoding, route calculation, and traffic-aware travel time estimates. Stripe powered upfront payment authorizations and automated helper payouts.
Key outcomes
Over 100,000 successful moves completed across major metro areas
Average driver arrival time under 25 minutes
4.8★ app rating across tens of thousands of customer reviews
99.4% damage-free delivery track record
