Integration with GPS tracking and mapping services

Purpose

1.1. Automate real-time GPS tracking and mapping integration for floral delivery logistics, allowing dynamic route optimization, live driver location sharing, ETA notifications, and delivery route compliance.
1.2. Automate the collection and use of geolocation data to power proactive delivery updates, automated rerouting for traffic or weather, and centralized dashboard visibility for delivery managers.
1.3. Automated synchronization between order, logistics, and dispatch systems via mapping APIs to ensure every order is assigned the most time- and cost-efficient delivery route.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New flower delivery order placed online or via phone.
2.2. Order marked as “Ready for Delivery” in POS or management system, triggering automation.
2.3. Driver checks in to collect the order, initiating automated GPS session.
2.4. Order status changes to “Out for Delivery”.
2.5. Delivery ETA update required based on route changes or delays detected via GPS.
2.6. Driver confirms completion or delivery exception, automatically ending tracking.
