I've built and alpha released a booking management system for a local business that delivers construction materials.

The setup involves the operators that record bookings via phone calls into the booking system. Then they have the drivers perform deliveries for those bookings, which they track through the mobile apps that are powered by the booking system. I also built a quote calculator, which is an extension of the booking system. Here is the tech stack I’ve setup for productivity and fast iteration.

Booking system:

- MySQL

- Laravel

- Tailwind

- React & InertiaJS

Quote calculator:

- Laravel Powered API (queries the booking system)

- Tailwind

- React

Mobile apps:

- Laravel Powered API

- Flutter (iOS and Android)

- Laravel Sanctum for API Auth

Infrastructure:

- Twilio for SMS notifications

- GitHub for source code hosting

- Mailgun for transactional emails

- CloudFlare for DDoS protection and caching

- Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications

- Laravel Forge for server maintenance and deployments

I later hired a young and very talented developer that is now helping me maintain and further build the booking system while I shifted my primary focus to the apps.

Professionally, I am a frontend developer but have also developed full stack (Laravel based) systems for smaller client projects.

I wish I could share screenshots and the links but sadly for anonimity reasons I cannot.

Happy to answer questions and also open to feedback!



Would love to find out more about this.
