Skyeair
Multi-platform drone-assisted last-mile delivery operating system.
The brief
Build and scale the full technology stack for a drone-assisted last-mile delivery startup — covering ground delivery agent management, drone flight operations, zone analytics, fleet/inventory management, and a secure mobile app for delivery agents — enabling the client to operate physical delivery hubs across multiple sectors with real-time operational visibility.
What we built
A comprehensive last-mile + drone delivery operating platform:
- Angular-based OPS portal for managing skyewalker (ground agent) and flight rooster (drone) jobs with COD flow, sortable/paginated tables, and real-time status overlays
- Skyezones multi-zone portal with delivery analytics, sustainability metrics (CO2/fuel savings), and v2 API suite
- FMS revamp with Hub/Pod geolocation management (Google Maps Places), inventory CRUD, and approval workflows
- Ionic/Capacitor Android app for delivery agents with camera proof-of-delivery, job-status filtering, and network detection
- Skyewalker 2.0 secure auth platform (OTP, RSA+AES, AWS Cognito, VAPT-compliant) with v1 migration
- Route optimization engine using Google Cloud Waypoints + Ola Maps with multi-priority sorting
- IoT 4G drone telemetry module (Raspberry Pi + flight controller) streaming live telemetry to EC2
- In-hub promotional video display network on Raspberry Pi 4
- Automated MIS reporting via AWS SES/EventBridge
- Payment gateway POC/integration (CCAvenue, Easebuzz).
OPS portal (production), Skyezones v2 (production), Skyewalker 2.0 auth + mobile app (production with legacy migration completed), automated MIS/email reports (production with Blue Dart and client-wise reports), IoT 4G drone telemetry module (field-tested on hexacopter at Sector 71 hub), in-hub Pi4 display network (live at Vipul Lavanya Society), FMS Hub/Pod and Inventory modules (UAT deployed), route optimization POC (documented, integrated).
