Ryde is a Nigerian parcel-delivery platform built as four connected products that work together in real time: a backend API, a customer app, a rider app and an admin console.
The Challenge
On-demand delivery is a real-time problem. Orders, rider locations, chat and notifications all have to move instantly and reliably between customers, riders and operations — and keep working under load.
What We Built
We built a Node.js/Express API with a persistent Socket.IO layer for live updates, two Expo (React Native) apps — Customer and Rider — and a React admin console. Customers send parcels, pay and watch their rider move on a live map; riders go online, accept jobs and deliver; operations oversee everything from the dashboard.
- Customer & rider mobile apps (iOS + Android)
- Live rider tracking on a map
- Real-time orders, chat & notifications
- In-app payments and wallets
- Full web admin console
The Result
A complete, real-time delivery platform ready to move parcels across a city — with every party kept in sync to the second.
