Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Evaluate refrigerated transport capacity across rural producer collectives to route perishable harvests under ONDC protocol specs. Compute remaining product shelf life and allocate shipments across certified local cold-storage providers.

Horticulture export cooperative coordinator

Ingest perishable harvest batches with ambient temperature exposure logs and harvest timestamps.

Query simulated ONDC logistics provider quotes using Beckn core final-mile delivery schemas.

Calculate estimated transit times against remaining shelf-life thresholds for delicate agricultural produce.

Generate optimized multi-carrier fulfillment plans and simulated Beckn on_init contract proposals.

Cold-chain control tower dashboard rendering real-time temperature logs, transit timelines, and dispatch slips.

Generate synthetic JSON records representing temperature-sensitive fruit batches and mock ONDC logistics bids. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

ONDC protocol specifications Implements ONDC logistics protocol extensions layered over Beckn core transaction specifications.

ray-serve, pydantic, fastapi. Ray Serve enables high-throughput concurrent evaluation of logistics bidding options across distributed farm nodes. API-driven or local LLM for parsing unstructured logistics contract terms and transit SLA stipulations.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Flags and rejects logistics routes whose estimated delivery time exceeds remaining produce shelf life.

Formats simulated network logistics dispatch requests conforming to Beckn final-mile delivery context fields.

Allocates shipment across secondary cold stores when primary refrigerated transport is at capacity.

Simulates cold-chain allocation solely; does not execute binding carrier bookings or control real vehicle telematics. Use mock external writes. Require human review before any real deployment.
