Distance-Measurement-Decision-Making Backend System Using NodeJS

Abstract

A potential start-up business in the catering industry called Kunyahku which aims to source food products from micro-catering businesses while offering customers many options of ordering food products for their events. Because customers do not initially know from which vendors their order comes from, and only consider Kunyahku as the brand representing the vendors, Kunyahku has a unique business process which no current existing e-commerce platforms is able to accommodate. A custom backend system with the ability of calculating the most suitable vendor based on the closest distance between the vendor and the customer is required to support the e-commerce business process. Because the state of the business is still a startup, financial resources are limited and therefore minimizing expenses is. the ultimate goal therefore the usage of cost minimalized platforms such as NodeJS programming language, self-created codes to run algorithms, etc.
