EXISTING SYSTEM
Courier service is not complete until the dispatched parcel gets to the final recipient and the delivery report to sender. This
service is best if it can be efficient in the three stages of the service, viz-a-viz: pre-courier, courier and post-courier
activities. The pre-courier activities encompass all the preparatory actions taken before the dispatch of the parcel.
This includes identifying the courier agents/company, costing the service, specifying the delivery variables and registering
the parcel for dispersal. The uncertainty of the costs of sending the package has become a big problem in the system.
There is need for clients to know how much it will cost them to send a package from the comfort of their home or offices
before making any move so as to eliminate some untold disappointments.
The system will have the cost estimation capability using the parameters of date, time frame, weight, distance and delivery
preference supplied by the clients thereby informing a potential user the cost of sending a particular package and the
expected delivery date and time ahead of the initiation of the service proper.
There are associated stress and time wastage from the customers’ point of view in going to the courier office as well as
waiting on the service queue just to send packages.
DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM
Lack of privacy
Less Security
Less User-friendly
The user’s participation in the courier service using the mobile application makes the meeting ground very efficient. The
courier agent can easily seek for direction and redirection from either/both the sender or/and the recipient using the
mobile app. This is the turning point in the user’s participation in courier service.
At some point in time, the courier agents can also use the app to easily locate a customer’s address with the aid of Google
map API. This API assists courier agents navigating to their picking or delivery points.
At the final dispatch, both the recipient and sender can acknowledge the service completion using the mobile platform. This
is regarded as the user’s participation in post-courier service.
In addition, It introduces a faster way to lay complain about a delay in delivery or missing package.
In this regards, fast means of communication between the customer and the agency is enhanced via virtualization of space
using billing for both sender and receiver.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
Fast access.

This paper presents a mobile courier service system for the courier service sector in Nigeria. A critical look at the courier
section in Nigeria shows that they are still far from using mobile device to support their operations, considering the
enormous benefits of mobile applications in the global economy.
The system as developed provides an easier means to send documents and other package like laptops, books, etc. with less
delay and stress. People do not have to visit the courier offices again for any reason.
The Mobile courier service system provided in this paper, when fully deployed, will help to improve the services rendered
by courier companies in Nigeria.
So far, this system provides complete client side courier software which customers can use to send their package to various
destinations By the resources available to us and considering the limitation, we were able to completely implement the
client side of the mobile courier service system and we leave the rest as recommendation for further development.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
In Future work, This application to develop a cross platforms like IOS, etc.
In adding the more features Courier management application to develop access with user’s flexibility.
To authenticate the users based on the system users list which is maintained by the operating system
To restrict the usage of all files by the users based on their privileges on the system
