Abstract

Transporting products and packages requires concrete focus to ensure that packages reach its destination safely and to the right recipient. Meanwhile, most of the remote areas including Tablas Island, particularly Zafeway Trading, a general merchandize in Odiongan are experiencing problems in the traditional delivery system. The existing system for delivery of goods and packages has not utilized mobile facilities yet and has not used information and communication technology (ICT) in managing and tracking the transport of products and packages. This system was designed to manage online booking of product for delivery utilizing the mobile phone which can monitor the location of the mover and the estimated time of arrival. This can calculate the total amount of transactions for both movers and customers. The system used Global Positioning System (GPS) and was designed with the aid of Agile Software Development Life Cycle Model. The study was tested acceptable using ISO/IEC 25010:2011 standard.
