The Problem in Rural Agriculture
What if booking a tractor was as easy as booking an Uber?
In many rural areas, farmers still rely heavily on physical phone calls or local contacts to find tractors for farming work. This offline dependency often leads to major delays, unclear pricing, and idle machinery that could otherwise be generating income.
Enter KrushiRide
To solve this, I built KrushiRide—a digital platform that directly connects farmers with nearby tractor owners, simplifying the entire booking ecosystem. The goal was to create a digital solution simple enough for rural adoption that massively improves access to agricultural machinery and increases equipment utilization.
The complete system architecture includes three interconnected platforms:
- 📱 Farmer App: Allows users to easily request tractor services with specific job details and precise location pinning.
- 🚜 Owner App: Empowers tractor owners to manage their fleet availability and accept booking requests dynamically.
- 💻 Admin Portal: A central nervous system to monitor users, tractor health/status, and overall booking activity across regions.
The Tech Stack
To ensure seamless real-time connectivity between farmers and drivers across different mobile platforms, I utilized:
React Native (Expo) • Node.js • Express.js • MongoDB • Socket.IO • React
This stack allowed for rapid iteration while maintaining the robust WebSocket connections required for real-time ride tracking and booking notifications.
