The website development was done using PHP Laravel, which enabled us to create a feature-rich web interface that complements the mobile app. We used MySQL for the database backend to provide a secure and scalable foundation for storing and managing user data, ensuring reliability and data integrity throughout the system. This combination of technologies allows us to connect you with pick-up truck drivers, offering transparent pricing, real-time tracking, and 24/7 support for a well-rounded solution that serves the customer the best.
