Abdalbasit Mohammed Qadir, Peter Cooper
Abstract
Cross-platform development is becoming widely used by developers, and writing for separate platforms is being replaced by developing a single code base that will work across multiple platforms simultaneously, while reducing cost and time. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate cross-platform development by creating a cargo tracking system that will work on multiple platforms with web application by tracking cargo using Global Positioning System (GPS), since the transport business has played a vital role in the evolution of human civilization. In this system, Google Flutter technology is used to create a mobile application that works on both Android and iOS platforms at the same time, by providing maps to clients showing their cargo location using Google Map API, as well as providing a web-based application.
