How This System Works
Architecture
QuickRoute Delivery implements a three-tier reactive logistics system built around real-time fleet tracking and proactive customer communication. The architecture centers on Supabase as the central data store, with Samsara providing live GPS and vehicle telemetry, and Slack serving as the operational communication hub. The Route Optimizer serves as the daily foundation, computing mathematically optimal delivery sequences each morning using historical traffic patterns and current order volumes. The system operates on an event-driven model where GPS position updates from Samsara vehicles trigger cascading calculations through the ETA Predictor and Delay Alerter agents. This creates a responsive feedback loop that maintains accurate delivery windows and proactively manages customer expectations. All agents share a common data schema in Supabase, enabling seamless handoffs between route planning, execution tracking, and exception management.
Data Flow
Data originates from two primary sources: daily order batches loaded into Supabase and continuous GPS telemetry from Samsara-equipped vehicles. Each morning at 4 AM, the Route Optimizer pulls pending deliveries, geocodes addresses, and applies constraint-based optimization algorithms to generate route assignments stored back to Supabase. These optimized routes include baseline ETA calculations for each stop. During delivery execution, Samsara pushes real-time vehicle positions to Supabase via webhook, triggering the ETA Predictor to recalculate arrival times using current location, traffic conditions, and remaining stops. Updated ETAs flow back to customer-facing systems, while significant delays trigger the Delay Alerter to send proactive notifications through Slack to dispatch teams and automated messages to affected customers. This continuous feedback loop ensures all stakeholders maintain accurate, up-to-date delivery expectations throughout the day.

How It Works
- 1Fetch pending orders
Query Supabase for all orders with status 'pending' and delivery_date = today, including customer addresses, priority levels, and delivery windows
Supabase Python client - 2Geocode addresses
Convert customer addresses to GPS coordinates using Google Maps Geocoding API, caching results in Redis to avoid duplicate API calls
Google Maps API - 3Calculate distance matrix
Generate travel time matrix between all delivery points using current traffic conditions from Google Maps Distance Matrix API
Google Maps API - 4Optimize routes
Apply Traveling Salesman Problem solver with constraints for vehicle capacity, delivery windows, and driver shift limits using OR-Tools optimization library
Google OR-Tools - 5Store optimized routes
Save route assignments, stop sequences, and estimated delivery times to Supabase routes and route_stops tables, updating order status to 'routed'
