ATLAS

A Melbourne logistics company was running fleet and warehouse operations on spreadsheets and a legacy PHP dashboard that updated once a day. The operations team was essentially flying blind during peak hours, weekly reporting was a manual 2+ hour job every Monday morning, and drivers, warehouse staff, and management all needed different views of the same data.

I designed and built the entire product solo over 8 weeks, from wireframes through production deployment and handover. Next.js with TypeScript on the front, D3.js for every visualisation, WebSocket connections pushing live updates every 2 seconds, and Supabase with Row Level Security powering three role-based dashboard views over one dataset. The codebase, design assets, and documentation were transferred to the client's internal team under NDA.

Atlas was a freelance engagement for a Melbourne-based logistics company that needed real-time visibility into their fleet and warehouse operations. The existing setup was spreadsheets and a legacy PHP dashboard that updated once a day. The operations team was essentially flying blind during peak hours.

The brief was clear: build a dashboard that shows what's happening right now, lets managers drill into the data, and generates end-of-week reports automatically. It needed role-based access so drivers, warehouse staff, and management each saw different views. The whole thing had to be deployable on their existing infrastructure with minimal DevOps overhead.

I designed and built the entire product solo over 8 weeks, from initial wireframes through to production deployment and client handover. The codebase, design assets, and documentation were transferred to the client's internal team under NDA.

The frontend is a Next.js app with TypeScript, using D3.js for all data visualisations: fleet map, throughput charts, delivery timeline, and warehouse heatmap. WebSocket connections to the backend push live updates every 2 seconds, so the dashboard reflects real-time state without polling.

The backend runs on Supabase with Row Level Security for role-based access. Three roles (driver, warehouse, admin) each get a different dashboard view powered by the same underlying data. Supabase Edge Functions handle PDF report generation on a weekly cron, compiling the previous 7 days of metrics into a formatted document and emailing it to the management distribution list.

Authentication uses Supabase Auth with magic link login. No passwords to manage, which was a requirement from the client's IT team. The entire stack deploys to Vercel (frontend) and Supabase (backend) with zero server management.
