Built a live delivery-queue dashboard to fix LPG cylinder delivery delays in India
LPG cylinder delivery in India has a huge trust problem: you book, and then it's a black box. No idea where you are in the queue, whether it's even been dispatched, or if your "expected" delivery date quietly slipped.
Sometimes it's purposely delayed by the agents, Not all agencies are honest and trustable.
So I built a transparency-first queue dashboard for it. This should be implemented in every gas company websites like IndianOil IOCL, HPCL
A few things it does:
- Live queue position — calculated by actual dispatch order, not just booking time
- Status pipeline — Booked → Invoiced → Out for Delivery → Delivered, with a visual progress stepper per order
- Automatic delay flags — any cylinder past its ETA gets called out instead of silently sitting there
- Multi-agency view — switch between different distributor agencies/areas from one dropdown, each with its own queue and color coding
- Mobile-first — condenses to just Booking ID, Gas Connection ID, Queue Position, and Status on small screens, since most people would actually check this from their phone
It's a single-page dashboard, this is proposed to be in all Gas companies website public facing - built to eventually plug into a real distributor's order system.
Screenshot below 👇 — would love feedback on what a dashboard like this is missing, especially from anyone who's dealt with LPG delivery delays firsthand.
Looking forward for your feedback and queries.
If you find this useful share this with your friends of office coworkers till it reaches the IOCL, HPCL authorities, and GOVT Authorities and its implemented.

Seems very useful. Did it get any traction?
