Abstract – The Research Paper Focuses on recent Advancement on courier Delivery Services, as our project name is Pickrun App which provides fast and reliable delivery services. Throughout the project we are trying to build an application for android as well as IOS users through which the customer canusethe fastand gooddelivery. The delivery

service is totally based on the customer’s requirement and their demand of delivery. The parcel will be delivered by the time and location given bythe customer.

Therearethreemodules: -

In the End user module, user place order, the delivery they add are all the details for the delivery and place the order. After the user places the order the nearby delivery boy gets the notification regarding it and it verifies all the details and accepts the order and delivery within the time given by the user. Admin views all the details of every placed order and checks thestatus ofeach and every delivery.

Fortheclients'pleasure withthecourierservicesystem,it is essential that the packages arrive on time at their destination. Finding the quickest route with the least amount of traffic from the point of delivery to the customer's location is necessary to ensure the quickest deliveryofpackagestotheclient.Theclientsshouldalsobe informed of the delivery time concurrently or over a sufficienttimeframe.

Responsetimebetweenthesetwopartieswillundoubtedly increase the effectiveness of the courier service and customerhappiness.[2]

By integrating the usage of modern communication technologieslikeGPS,Androidtools,andcloudservices,the research's goal is to create a framework and Android application that can assist in creating the platform for a more intelligent parcel delivery system. It will aid courier service systems in managing the parcel delivery process intelligentlyanddelivering thepackagestoconsumersata timethatisconvenientforthem.

1.1 Scope

Due to traffic we suffer so much in the metropolitan cities that with the help of the right delivery appwecangetsomanythingsinalimitedtimeanditsaves usfromrunningheretotherefortheproductsoritemswe leftbehind.Itmakesourlifehasslefree.Thisappbasedon deliveryserviceapplicationtoeasecustomertomeettheir order urgently when in need. Sometimes, some customers still have to come and pick up their order themselves. As more people use smartphones and become more dependent on it, the potential to introduce an application for local needs in facilitating the needs is promising. This provides an opportunity for the developed app to fill the gapleft by the existingapplications in themarketin order to Deliver Customer Courier on urgent basis within short spanoftime.

Thescopeofthisprojectislimitedtotheactivitiesofa Delivery Services, which includes will improving Security outcomes of courier, reduce the Time for Delivery App to Deliver the Product, enhance access and care in the Estate and surrounding communities and ensuring best use of resources, the use of a best Service based management system for improving the efficiency of a Delivery, it is needed and it is an essential part of any modern continuously evolving society.

1.2 The Problem Statement

As there are higher needs of the customer to Pick and DelivertheirBelongingswithintheshortSpamoftime,it rises many Problems like Misplacement of Parcel, to Handover the Parcels to Genuine Person, Late Delivery Problems, miscommunication between the Delivery boy and customer and many more. As the Result there should always be the way to overcome such problems alongwithCustomerSatisfaction,ItIsNecessarytomeet the end user requirement along with Customer Support andCourierResponsibilityifthecouriergetslost.Asthe currentmarketapplicationwhichareinthisservicethey arechargingtoo muchofservicefeesfromthebothend

for customer and delivery boy as well. In the current working application there is no rewards for delivery boywhichwehaveadded.Customerhavebestservice and 15% and 20% off on cashless payment method. The current applications do not have live track order function. A system is required which can be used by everyoneandwhichalsobenefitseveryone.[5]

5.2 Android Application as back-end

ThePickrunAndroidapplicationwillbeintegratedwiththe databaseinthemainsystem.Thisistoensuretheinformation of the parcels will be recorded properly and hand-on systematically within the back-end system. This Android application consists of four main functions namely Parcel details,Couriertrackingsystem,andchat-supportnavigation. Eachofthesefunctionplaysanimportantroleinensuringthe smooth interaction within the systems shows the courier navigation page that will be automatically activated when CourierNavigatebuttonisclicked.Thetargetaddresswillbe enteredintothisinterface,andtheEstimatedTimeofArrival (ETA)willbegeneratedbasedonthedistancedisplayedon GoogleMaps,takingintoaccounttheanticipatedtimethatthe packagewouldarrive.

Theprogramforpricecalculation:

for(var i = 0; i < polylineCoordinates.length-1; i++){

totalDistance += calculateDistance( polylineCoordinates[i].latitude, polylineCoordinates[i].longitude, polylineCoordinates[i+1].latitude, polylineCoordinates[i+1].longitude); }
