Delivery platform & rider app
Phone Club Logistics
Phone Club Logistics runs every delivery, pickup and exchange for Phone Club and Phone Club Sell — and is built so other businesses can plug in as vendors. Dispatchers plan the day in a web portal, riders work their visits in the Phone Club Rider app, and customers can follow their rider live.

(01)The challenge
Jobs were coming from two businesses with cash moving both ways: collecting Cash on Delivery from buyers and paying sellers for their old phones. Every handover needed proof, outside vendors needed their own access, and riders often work with patchy mobile signal.
(02)The solution
A logistics API with its own database inside the Phone Club backend, a dispatch board for Phone Club staff and vendors, and an offline-friendly rider app. Every job is closed with the customer's code, and cash collected or paid out is recorded against the job.
(03)Features
What it does.
Vendor API & webhooks
Businesses create jobs with an API key and receive status updates by webhook; repeated requests are safely ignored.
Dispatch board
Jobs by date and zone, assigned to riders, with zones defined by PIN codes and hubs.
Phone Club Rider app
OTP sign-in, the day's visits in slot order, one-tap call and navigation, and a status for every step.
Works without signal
Accept, on my way and arrived are saved offline and sent in order when the signal returns.
Proof of handover
The customer's code, photos and cash are recorded before a job can be finished.
Roles & permissions
Phone Club staff, vendor teams and riders each see only what they're allowed to.
