The Brief

Stuart Williams, Web Developer @ CitySprint
The project brief aimed to implement a comprehensive online onboarding process for managing CitySprint's couriers. Our solution includes the following key stages:
  • Right to Work Verification:
    Ensuring all drivers have the legal right to work.

  • Database Checks:
    Verifying drivers' insurance and MOT documents through DVLA and VOSA databases.

  • Document Management:
    Efficiently handling all relevant driver documents.

  • Driver Accounts:
    Establishing and maintaining individual driver accounts.
  • Invoice Generation:
    Automating the creation and distribution of invoices.

  • Asset Management:
    Tracking and managing company assets.

  • Communication:
    Sending timely SMS and email notifications to drivers.

This structured and professional approach guarantees a seamless and efficient onboarding experience for CitySprint's couriers.

The Challenge

After our initial consultation with CitySprint, it became evident that the solution needed to be both scalable and extendable to accommodate their evolving requirements.

We developed the application over two years, implementing it in phased releases. A key decision was to use a flexible and modern framework as the foundation of the project.

Extendibility

The strength of this framework lies in its ability to support all visual and functional elements independently. This architecture allows for the rapid and cost-effective addition of new features without necessitating a complete overhaul of the tool's design. This ensures the application remains adaptable and future-proof, meeting CitySprint's growing needs efficiently.

Security

CitySprint

Today more than ever before, online security is a priority. As criminals become more and more innovative in their techniques to steal online data, online applications are required to become more resourceful in their security systems.

In addition to the standard security, such as backups and configuration, and security policies were adopted as a second line to protect the system.

Smart Data Checks
We block SQL injections and malicious file uploads before they even get close. Hackers don’t stand a chance.

Remote & Locked
Your data lives on secure, remote servers—totally out of reach from unauthorised apps or local threats.

The code is encrypted
All code is encrypted. No backdoors. No shortcuts. Anyone trying to access your data needs full authentication.

Full Activity Logs
Every click, update, and action is tracked. Admins can trace activity and roll back changes in seconds if needed.

Human Usability

Case Study: CitySprint

A core priority for CitySprint was ensuring the system was effortless to use. Our goal? A clean, intuitive interface that the team could navigate with confidence—no training manuals required.

To get there, we went deep. We analysed similar platforms, benchmarked existing tools, and spoke directly with CitySprint staff to understand their day-to-day needs. From these insights, we built user personas and a detailed design spec, complete with user flows, task flows, and interactive prototypes. In the final phase, we ran rigorous usability testing to validate every screen and interaction.

The result? A slick, user-first interface that’s easy to use and keeps operations running smoothly—exactly what CitySprint needed.

Effortless. Flexible. Future-Proof.

CitySprint’s journey showcases how a scalable, secure, and user-first solution can transform complex onboarding into a seamless, high-performing process. By combining smart automation, robust security, and human-centred design, we’ve delivered a platform that not only meets today’s demands — but is ready for tomorrow’s growth.
