A.​ Executive​ ​summary
​​​​​​​

We​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​thank​​ ​X​ ​company​ ​for​ ​providing​ ​us​ ​with​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​respond​ ​with​ ​a
proposal​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Crowdsourcing​ ​transportation​ ​solution​ ​development​ ​services.​ ​We​ ​understand
this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​competitive​ ​process​ ​and​ ​that​ ​X​ ​company​ ​is​ ​searching​ ​for​ ​the​ ​right​ ​partner​ ​to​ ​provide
best​ ​practices,​ ​excellent​ ​technology​ ​and​ ​support​ ​services​ ​expertise​ ​while​ ​leveraging​ ​broad
technology​ ​and​ ​cost-saving​ ​experience​ ​in​ ​guiding​ ​X​ ​company​ ​through​ ​this​ ​project.

Summarizing​ ​the​ ​document,​ ​please​ ​find​ ​the​ ​proposal’s​ ​key​ ​concepts​ ​below​ ​:

● ​ ​X​
​company​ ​is​ ​seeking​ ​a​ ​vendor​ ​to​ ​design​ ​and​ ​develop​ ​a​ ​solution​ ​to​ ​enable​ ​users​ ​and
owners​ ​of​ ​large​ ​vehicles​ ​to​ ​find​ ​each​ ​other​ ​and​ ​collaborate​ ​for​ ​moving​ ​large​ ​items​ ​from
one​ ​locationto​ ​another.
● The​ ​solution​ ​will​ ​comprise​ ​of​ ​three​ ​components:
○ A​ ​mobile​ ​app​ ​(iOS)​ ​for​ ​company​ ​clients​ ​and​ ​drivers
○ A​ ​custom​ ​website​ ​and​ ​landing​ ​page,​ ​integrated​ ​with​ ​the​ ​web​ ​administrator
application
○ A​ ​cloud-based​ ​web​ ​application​ ​for​ ​collecting,​ ​storing​ ​and​ ​managing​ ​user​ ​data,​ ​as
well​ ​as​ ​managing​ ​website​ ​content
● We​ ​are​ ​sure​ ​that​ ​we​ ​possess​ ​the​ ​experience,​ ​skills​ ​and​ ​commitment​ ​to​ ​undertake​ ​this
project​ ​in​ ​approximately​ ​3​ ​months.
● The​ ​provisional​ ​ ​cost​ ​of​ ​services​ ​is​ ​estimated​ ​from​​ ​$XX,XXX​ ​with​ ​+/-​ ​15%​ ​possible
variation,​ ​and​ ​breaks​ ​down​ ​into:
○ WebSite,​ ​Landing​ ​and​ ​Content​ ​pages $X,XXX
○ iOS​ ​mobile​ ​app $XX,XXX
○ Administrator​ ​Backend $X,XXX
○ Project​ ​management​ ​and​ ​governance $X,XXX
● The​ ​services​ ​will​ ​be​ ​provided​ ​on​ ​a​ ​time​ ​and​ ​material​ ​basis.
● Itransition​ ​guarantees​ ​a​ ​2-month​ ​warranty​ ​period​ ​taking​ ​effect​ ​immediately​ ​from​ ​project
acceptance.​ ​During​ ​this​ ​period,​ ​any​ ​defects​ ​discovered​ ​will​ ​be​ ​fixed​ ​free​ ​of​ ​charge.

B. Proposed​ ​Scope
X​ ​company​ ​is​ ​a​ ​startup​ ​transportations​ ​company,​ ​aiming​ ​to​ ​take​ ​the​ ​market​ ​niche​ ​in​ ​the​ ​West
Coast​ ​states​ ​territory.​ ​Here​ ​at​ ​Itransition​ ​we​ ​understand​ ​the​ ​importance​ ​of​ ​such​ ​ ​factors​ ​as​ ​time
and​ ​quality​ ​of​ ​approach​ ​to​ ​make​ ​this​ ​effort​ ​a​ ​success.​ ​Therefore,​ ​we’ve​ ​carried​ ​out​ ​a​ ​deep
investigation​ ​of​ ​project​ ​requirements,​ ​industry​ ​opportunities​ ​and​ ​understood​ ​that​ ​the​ ​fast​ ​start​ ​of
the​ ​application​ ​should​ ​include​ ​the​ ​most​ ​essential​ ​features​ ​that​ ​will​ ​allow​ ​the​ ​business​ ​to​ ​launch
smoothly,​ ​with​ ​the​ ​possibility​ ​to​ ​add​ ​more​ ​functionality​ ​at​ ​a​ ​later​ ​time,​ ​in​ ​thoroughly​ ​considered
and​ ​prepared​ ​steps.
The​ ​current​ ​proposal​ ​shall​ ​include​ ​the​ ​limited​ ​MVP​ ​functionality​ ​with​ ​a​ ​website,​ ​administrator’s
backend,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​mobile​ ​application​ ​for​ ​iOS​ ​version​ ​7+​ ​smartphones.​ ​We​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​the
proposed​ ​scope​ ​of​ ​features​ ​will​ ​be​ ​sufficient​ ​for​ ​initial​ ​launch​ ​of​ ​the​ ​product​ ​on​ ​the​ ​market.

Roles
We​ ​identified​ ​the​ ​following​ ​system​ ​roles​ ​with​ ​proposed​ ​user​ ​functionality:

Administrator:​ ​a​ ​company​ ​representative,​ ​responsible​ ​for​ ​managing​ ​company​ ​website​ ​content.
Managing​ ​application​ ​statistics,​ ​users,​ ​and​ ​driver​ ​profiles.​ ​Shall​ ​operate​ ​from​ ​a​ ​web
administrator’s​ ​interface.

Driver:​ ​an​ ​application​ ​user,​ ​has​ ​to​ ​register​ ​through​ ​the​ ​company​ ​website​ ​via​ ​a​ ​specially​ ​made
questionnaire.​ ​Approved​ ​drivers​ ​receive​ ​application​ ​credentials​ ​from​ ​the​ ​administrator.​ ​sers
access​ ​the​ ​modified​ ​mobile​ ​application​ ​interface​ ​with​ ​features​ ​needed​ ​for​ ​convenient​ ​driver
operation.​ ​The​ ​driver​ ​profile​ ​can​ ​be​ ​managed​ ​via​ ​both​ ​mobile​ ​and​ ​web.

Client:​ ​a​ ​mobile​ ​application​ ​user​ ​with​ ​a​ ​need​ ​to​ ​transport​ ​an​ ​item​ ​from​ ​one​ ​location​ ​to​ ​another.
Can​ ​register​ ​and​ ​manage​ ​profile​ ​using​ ​a​ ​mobile​ ​device​ ​or​ ​a​ ​web​ ​interface.​ ​Shall​ ​request
transportation​ ​through​ ​the​ ​mobile​ ​interface.

Administrator​ ​Interface
The​ ​role​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Administrator​ ​shall​ ​include​ ​the​ ​following:

● manage​ ​website,​ ​blog,​ ​and​ ​landing​ ​page​ ​content;

Transit​ ​List​ ​and​ ​Map​ ​View

The​ ​section​ ​shall​ ​allow​ ​users​ ​to​ ​view​ ​all​ ​historic​ ​services,​ ​and​ ​enter​ ​the​ ​details​ ​screen.​ ​The
details​ ​screen​ ​shall​ ​allow​ ​users​ ​to​ ​view​ ​the​ ​transit​ ​route,​ ​time​ ​the​ ​transit​ ​started​ ​and​ ​estimated
delivery.​ ​The​ ​screen​ ​conveniently​ ​places​ ​the​ ​driver​ ​information​ ​and​ ​the​ ​call-from-app​ ​option​ ​to
contact​ ​the​ ​driver.

Driver​ ​Profile
Tapping​ ​on​ ​the​ ​driver​ ​image​ ​the​ ​user​ ​enters​ ​the​ ​driver​ ​profile​ ​page,​ ​which​ ​contains​ ​relevant
driver​ ​information,​ ​including​ ​the​ ​most​ ​recent​ ​feedback​ ​from​ ​previous​ ​service​ ​users.

Ordering​ ​services
The​ ​user​ ​describes​ ​the​ ​item​ ​to​ ​be​ ​moved,​ ​uploads​ ​a​ ​photo,​ ​enters​ ​dispatch​ ​and​ ​delivery
locations​ ​and​ ​chooses​ ​the​ ​preferable​ ​pickup​ ​time​ ​or​ ​period.​ ​Then​ ​the​ ​user​ ​is​ ​offered​ ​a
confirmation​ ​screen​ ​with​ ​a​ ​payment​ ​option,​ ​warning​ ​that​ ​the​ ​system​ ​shall​ ​launch​ ​the​ ​search
when​ ​the​ ​payment​ ​has​ ​been​ ​completed.​ ​If​ ​a​ ​user​ ​has​ ​not​ ​completed​ ​the​ ​payment,​ ​the
application​ ​shall​ ​save​ ​the​ ​item​ ​for​ ​a​ ​limited​ ​time​ ​and​ ​list​ ​it​ ​on​ ​the​ ​Transit​ ​screen​ ​with​ ​“payment
pending”​ ​status.

The​ ​website​ ​content​ ​pages​ ​will​ ​be​ ​managed​ ​from​ ​the​ ​administrator’s​ ​backend.

C. Project​ ​Approach
The​ ​key​ ​ideas​ ​of​ ​how​ ​we​ ​will​ ​approach​ ​the​ ​project​ ​are​ ​summarized​ ​below.

Process
● Waterfall​ ​methodology
● Itransition​ ​will​ ​provide​ ​analysis,​ ​design,​ ​development,​ ​testing​ ​and​ ​post-release​ ​support​ ​to
X​ ​company
● QA​ ​testing​ ​will​ ​be​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​an​ ​independent​ ​internal​ ​QA​ ​team,​ ​while​ ​final​ ​user
acceptance​ ​is​ ​to​ ​be​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​X​ ​company
● The​ ​application​ ​will​ ​be​ ​hosted​ ​on​ ​a​ ​staging​ ​environment,​ ​and​ ​then​ ​provided​ ​to​ ​X
company​ ​for​ ​deployment​ ​and​ ​final​ ​testing​ ​on​ ​a​ ​live​ ​environment

Communications
● We​ ​expect​ ​X​ ​company​ ​to​ ​allocate​ ​a​ ​single​ ​point​ ​of​ ​contact​ ​to​ ​supervise​ ​the​ ​development
effort​ ​and​ ​provide​ ​subject​ ​matter​ ​knowledge​ ​to​ ​our​ ​team
● The​ ​person​ ​should​ ​be​ ​available​ ​during​ ​business​ ​hours​ ​Central​ ​time
● Certain​ ​technical​ ​support​ ​should​ ​be​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​X​ ​company​ ​for​ ​Itransition​ ​to​ ​deploy​ ​the
solution​ ​components​ ​into​ ​the​ ​live​ ​environment​ ​provided​ ​and​ ​publish​ ​the​ ​mobile
application​ ​to​ ​the​ ​App​ ​Store.

Technologies
● ASP.NET​ ​MVC​ ​technology​ ​is​ ​proposed​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Web​ ​application
● Xamarin​ ​platform​ ​(​http://xamarin.com​)​ ​is​ ​suggested​ ​for​ ​the​ ​mobile​ ​application​ ​to​ ​provide
native​ ​UX​ ​for​ ​mobile​ ​users
● The​ ​mobile​ ​application​ ​will​ ​be​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​run​ ​on​ ​iOS​ ​7+​ ​devices

We​ ​recommend​ ​using​ ​Xamarin​ ​framework​ ​for​ ​this​ ​project​ ​as​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​cost-effective
solutions​ ​to​ ​develop​ ​multiple​ ​mobile​ ​applications​ ​for​ ​iOS​ ​and​ ​Android​ ​with​ ​the​ ​same
functionality.

Xamarin​ ​is​ ​a​ ​commercial​ ​multi-platform​ ​framework​ ​for​ ​developing​ ​native​ ​mobile​ ​applications.
The​ ​rationale​ ​behind​ ​using​ ​Xamarin​ ​to​ ​develop​ ​the​ ​apps​ ​is​ ​as​ ​follows:
 ● Native​ ​performance:​ ​C#​ ​code​ ​wrappers​ ​allow​ ​to​ ​reuse​ ​90%​ ​of​ ​native​ ​code.​ ​That​ ​means
developers​ ​may​ ​use​ ​existing​ ​Google​ ​and​ ​Apple​ ​documentation​ ​to​ ​build​ ​applications​ ​and
utilize​ ​pure​ ​native​ ​features;
● Native​ ​look​ ​and​ ​feel:​ ​UI​ ​elements​ ​are​ ​native.​ ​They​ ​do​ ​not​ ​just​ ​emulate​ ​native​ ​elements
style​ ​and​ ​behavior.​ ​They​ ​are​ ​genuinely​ ​native​ ​and​ ​use​ ​all​ ​the​ ​native​ ​features​ ​and
settings;
● Platform​ ​embedded​ ​access​ ​to​ ​device-specific​ ​features​ ​(camera,​ ​GPS​ ​module,
accelerometer,​ ​etc.);
● Android​ ​and​ ​iOS​ ​versions​ ​of​ ​the​ ​application​ ​will​ ​reuse​ ​about​ ​50%​ ​-​ ​80%​ ​of​ ​source​ ​code.
This​ ​is​ ​about​ ​functional​ ​code​ ​and​ ​UI​ ​screens​ ​and​ ​controls.​ ​With​ ​the​ ​help​ ​of​ ​Xamarin
Forms​ ​it​ ​is​ ​possible​ ​to​ ​share​ ​UI​ ​definition​ ​across​ ​all​ ​the​ ​platforms;
● Cost​ ​advantages​ ​of​ ​cross​ ​platform​ ​technologies:​ ​every​ ​new​ ​platform​ ​costs​ ​approx.​ ​50%
less​ ​than​ ​ ​the​ ​previous​ ​platform​ ​development;
● Is​ ​a​ ​multi-platform​ ​technology:​ ​a​ ​multi-platform​ ​technology​ ​might​ ​be​ ​the​ ​best​ ​choice​ ​for
keeping​ ​the​ ​same​ ​standards​ ​of​ ​performance​ ​with​ ​native.

Post​ ​–release​ ​support

● Since​ ​the​ ​expected​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​support​ ​effort​ ​(i.e.​ ​support​ ​enquiries)​ ​is​ ​not​ ​known,
Itransition​ ​proposes​ ​to​ ​handle​ ​it​ ​on​ ​a​ ​time​ ​and​ ​materials​ ​basis,​ ​calculated​ ​on​ ​the​ ​hourly
rate​ ​and​ ​billed​ ​monthly
● Itransition​ ​will​ ​assign​ ​a​ ​point​ ​of​ ​contact​ ​available​ ​for​ ​all​ ​support​ ​enquiries.

D. Estimated​ ​Costs​ ​and​ ​Timelines

Itransition​ ​anticipates​ ​the​ ​overall​ ​project​ ​cost​ ​to​ ​be​ ​$XX,XXX​​ ​with​ ​possible​ ​variation​ ​of​ ​+/-​ ​15%.
The​ ​project​ ​can​ ​be​ ​complete​ ​in​ ​approximately​ ​3​ ​months.

Estimated​ ​Costs​ ​for​ ​Optional​ ​Features

During​ ​our​ ​preliminary​ ​discussions​ ​we​ ​singled​ ​out​ ​several​ ​features​ ​that​ ​did​ ​not​ ​get​ ​included​ ​into
the​ ​main​ ​project​ ​scope.​ ​Nevertheless,​ ​it​ ​was​ ​decided​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​the​ ​estimations​ ​for​ ​the​ ​said
functionality​ ​separately​ ​for​ ​the​ ​client’s​ ​consideration.

Optional​ ​Features Estimated​ ​Extra Description

platforms.​ ​If​ ​done​ ​alongside​ ​with​ ​the​ ​main
development​ ​process,​ ​it​ ​significantly
decreases​ ​resource​ ​requirements,​ ​which
translates​ ​into​ ​cost​ ​effective​ ​development
estimates.

Social​ ​Networks $XXX​ ​–​ ​$XXX Implies​ ​social​ ​networking​ ​functionality​ ​for

 Push​ ​notifications $X,XXX​ ​–​ ​$X,XXX Shall​ ​include​ ​the​ ​following​ ​types​ ​of​ ​alerts
sent​ ​to​ ​mobile​ ​application​ ​users:

● Notify​ ​users​ ​of​ ​a​ ​truck​ ​arriving​ ​at​ ​a

certain​ ​time​ ​(e.g.​ ​in​ ​10​ ​minutes)
● Notify​ ​users​ ​that​ ​the​ ​truck​ ​has
arrived
● Notify​ ​Drivers​ ​of​ ​a​ ​Job​ ​available
● Notify​ ​Drivers​ ​of​ ​a​ ​payment​ ​made
by​ ​the​ ​company

In​ ​the​ ​current​ ​scope,​ ​the​ ​role​ ​of​ ​alerting

the​ ​user​ ​is​ ​given​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Timeline​ ​section,
while​ ​we​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​push
notifications​ ​are​ ​implemented​ ​the​ ​section
shall​ ​play​ ​an​ ​important​ ​role​ ​in
broadcasting​ ​company​ ​updates​ ​and
marketing​ ​information​ ​to​ ​end​ ​clients.

E. Improvement​ ​Ideas
Here​ ​at​​ ​Itransition​ ​we​ ​are​ ​excited​ ​to​ ​have​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​bid​ ​on​ ​X​ ​company​ ​project,​ ​as​ ​we​ ​believe
we​ ​understand​ ​the​ ​customer​ ​needs​ ​and​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​the​ ​requirements.​ ​What​ ​is​ ​more,​ ​we
are​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​take​ ​the​ ​project​ ​further​ ​with​ ​customer​ ​improvements​ ​that​ ​will​ ​make​ ​X​ ​company
stand​ ​out​ ​from​ ​the​ ​competition​ ​with​ ​unique​ ​ ​services​ ​and​ ​service​ ​offering.​ ​In​ ​this​ ​section,​ ​we
wanted​ ​to​ ​suggest​ ​a​ ​few​ ​ideas​ ​that​ ​can​ ​contribute​ ​to​ ​further​ ​application​ ​and​ ​service
development.​ ​Here​ ​they​ ​are:

● Gamification​ ​for​ ​Drivers:​ ​rating​ ​system,​ ​virtual​ ​awards,​ ​top​ ​driver​ ​of​ ​the​ ​month,​ ​etc.​ ​with
percentage​ ​increase​ ​of​ ​driver​ ​earnings​ ​for​ ​such.
● “Where​ ​is​ ​my​ ​item​ ​now”​ ​real-time​ ​tracking​ ​for​ ​Clients.
● “Get​ ​directions”​ ​option​ ​for​ ​Drivers.
● Add​ ​the​ ​option​ ​to​ ​pick​ ​items​ ​at​ ​several​ ​locations​ ​or​ ​deliver​ ​to​ ​more​ ​than​ ​one​ ​location.
● Paid​ ​subscription​ ​for​ ​Drivers​ ​with​ ​which​ ​they​ ​get​ ​new​ ​order​ ​notifications​ ​first;​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to
search​ ​for​ ​orders​ ​in​ ​a​ ​different​ ​area​ ​(say,​ ​they​ ​have​ ​made​ ​a​ ​delivery​ ​and​ ​want​ ​to​ ​get
another​ ​delivery​ ​on​ ​the​ ​way​ ​back);​ ​special​ ​route​ ​planning​ ​options;​ ​additional​ ​options​ ​with
earnings​ ​display​ ​(say,​ ​add​ ​graphic​ ​representation).
● Advertising:​ ​can​ ​be​ ​added​ ​to​ ​most​ ​used​ ​screens,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​order​ ​transit​ ​screen​ ​for​ ​users
