Face Authenticator

To prevent the common scam that involves sub-contracting loads, we made a face authenticator to make sure that the person who checks in and out of our website is the same booked individual.

Face Authenticator

Inspiration

From 123Loadboard Codejam 2022 challenges, there are common scams that would involve sub-contracting loads; someone would book a load but would get a sub-contractor to haul the load for them. We wanted to build a platform which would prevent someone else to pretend to be the original contractor, the one who booked the load.

What it does

In order to prevent someone to pretend to be the original contractor, the latter needs check in/check out with a face authenticator, which is what our platform provides. After logging in with user's face and PIN, the user can check in or out. The check in and check out would match the current location with the location of the truck.

How we built it

Challenges we ran into

We are all unfamiliar with React, and we did not know we needed to properly export JavaScript functions in order to use them in React. At first, we wanted to do backend in Flask in Python, and frontend in React, but we had a hard time finding out how to link Flask with React, so we decided to switch to JavaScript, which not all of us are familiar with.

What's next for Face Authenticator

We would need a database of users with their information, including the user's name, company name, check in time, and check out time.
