overview

Titled "Where's My Stuff & Where Can I Return It?", this project was the result of a recent hack-a-thon (where developers and designers get 2 days to form teams and create something of their choosing). My team used both the UPS and Google Maps APIs to plot the course of a package on a map. Customers can then visually see where their package is, as well as see the package progress and estimated delivery date, all without leaving the Zappos.com website.

The second part of this project allows users to search for and visually see the closest UPS stores to them. Once they select a store, they will then see the course on a map, as well as directions on how to get there. Users no longer need to leave the Zappos.com website in order to find out where to return a package.

Our team got second place for this hack-a-thon, and this project is also patent-pending. :)
