Live Order Tracking

Role: Design Lead

I designed the 2021 original as sole designer, then led and designed the 2026 rebuild end-to-end.

The Challenge
"Where is my order?" — again, at super-app scale

By 2026 Breadfast was delivering close to a million orders a month across grocery, coffee, and more. The order screen — a simple status timeline I designed in 2021 — no longer matched what customers expected: they wanted to see exactly where their order was, right now.

Two costs rose with volume: customers opening support to ask where their order was, and disputes over orders marked delivered but 'not received.'

  • ·Give customers real-time location, not just a status
  • ·Cut 'where is my order' and 'not received' contacts
  • ·Rebuild on infrastructure that scales with the super-app

Origin — Tracking 1.0 (2021)
The version I shipped solo

In 2021, as the sole designer, I shipped Breadfast's first order-tracking experience: a status timeline (Placed → Preparing → On its way → Delivered), a home-screen status banner, and per-step Lottie animations, backed by push notifications with SMS as a fallback.

It worked — order-status support conversations dropped ~35%. But it answered 'what stage,' not 'where,' and five years of scale exposed its ceiling.

Tracking 2.0
From status to live location

I led and designed the rebuild end-to-end. The new experience puts a live map at the center — customers watch their driver move in real time — backed by a dynamic ETA that updates as conditions change.

Lock-screen Live Activities keep the ETA glanceable without opening the app, and an in-app call button connects the customer to their driver directly.

Collaboration

Shipping this touched engineering (BE, iOS, Android), logistics and driver operations, CX, and data science. I led design across the surfaces and partnered with the PM on rollout.

Results & Impact
Directional (pre/post), not causal — live since April 2026

Measured pre (Dec 2025–Feb 2026 average) vs. post (April 2026, the first full rollout month), with March excluded as a transition month.

These numbers are directional: a pre/post read rather than a controlled A/B test, so they show correlation, not proven causation.
