Case Study

PaintCare Kenya

Full-stack e-commerce and delivery platform with real-time tracking and route optimization. Pay-on-delivery losses stopped, and delivery became a strength instead of a risk.

E-Commerce Logistics Route Optimization
The Challenge

Every Delivery Was a Gamble

Paint orders were taken over the phone, confirmed on delivery, and tracked in a driver's head. Money and stock leaked with every trip.

Pay-on-Delivery Losses

Orders left the store, drivers returned with "no buyer" or partial payments. Costs were taken, revenue was not.

No Delivery Visibility

Customers called to ask where their order was. Nobody knew. The dispatch board was a phone and a paper list.

Inefficient Routes

Drivers crisscrossed the city, burning fuel and time. Same-day delivery meant double the distance and half the margin.

The Solution

What Was Built

A full-stack commerce platform where orders, payments, dispatch, and delivery tracking live in one system.

Online Ordering & M-Pesa Payments

Customers order from a branded storefront and pay before dispatch. The pay-on-delivery gamble disappeared.

Real-Time Delivery Tracking

Customers watch their order move, driver and dispatcher see the live route, and proof-of-delivery is captured at the door.

Route Optimization

The platform sequences deliveries by geography and traffic, cutting fuel use and expanding how many orders each driver can complete.

Delivery Confirmation

Digital proof of delivery with photo and timestamp, so disputes with drivers and customers disappear.
