Customer Installation Tracking - Implementation Summary

✅ COMPLETE - Ready for Testing

Date: January 2025
Feature: Public customer tracking portal with OTP verification

---

📦 What Was Built

1. Customer Tracking Schemas ✅

File: src/app/schemas/tracking.py

8 Pydantic schemas covering the complete tracking flow:

• TrackingOTPRequest - OTP request with phone/email
• TrackingOTPResponse - OTP sent confirmation
• TrackingOTPVerify - OTP verification with code
• TrackingVerifyResponse - JWT token + order list
• TrackingOrderSummary - Customer's order list
• TrackingOrderDetails - Order information
• TrackingTicketDetails - Ticket status and schedule
• TrackingAgentDetails - Agent information
• TrackingJourneyDetails - Real-time location tracking
• TrackingLocationPoint - GPS coordinates with metadata
• TrackingDetailsResponse - Complete tracking view

2. Tracking Service ✅

File: src/app/services/tracking_service.py

Business logic layer (400+ lines):

OTP Management:

• request_tracking_otp() - Send OTP via WhatsApp/Email
• verify_tracking_otp() - Verify OTP and return orders

Order Lookup:

• get_customer_orders() - Find orders by phone/email
• Handles both primary and alternative phone numbers
• Joins customers table for customer data

Tracking Details:

• get_tracking_details() - Complete order tracking data
• Security validation (order ownership)
• Polymorphic customer resolution
• Nested data assembly (order → ticket → agent → journey)

Helper Methods:

• _mask_identifier() - Privacy protection for display
• _format_address() - Address formatting

3. Public Tracking API ✅

File: src/app/api/v1/public_tracking.py

3 public endpoints (300+ lines):

POST /public/tracking/request-otp

• Public, no authentication
• Send OTP to customer
• WhatsApp or email delivery

POST /public/tracking/verify-otp

• Public, no authentication
• Verify OTP code
• Return JWT token (24h validity)
• Return customer's order list

GET /public/tracking/{order_id}

• Requires JWT token in Authorization header
• Validates order ownership
• Returns complete tracking details:
  • Order information
  • Ticket status and schedule
  • Agent details (if assigned)
  • Journey tracking (if started)

GET /public/tracking/health

• Health check endpoint
• Public, no authentication

JWT Token Management:

• generate_tracking_jwt() - Create 24h token
• validate_tracking_jwt() - Verify and extract customer identifier
• Uses HS256 algorithm
• Client-side storage (no database)

4. Router Integration ✅

File: src/app/api/v1/router.py

Added public tracking router to main API:

api_router.include_router(
    public_tracking.router, 
    prefix="/public/tracking", 
    tags=["Public Tracking"]
)

5. Documentation ✅

File: docs/CUSTOMER_TRACKING_QUICK_REFERENCE.md

Comprehensive guide (500+ lines):

• Architecture overview
• API endpoint documentation
• Request/response examples
• Security details
• Testing guide
• Frontend integration examples
• Troubleshooting guide
• Future enhancements

🎯 Key Features

Zero Database Changes

• ✅ Uses existing sales_orders, customers, tickets tables
• ✅ Uses existing ticket_assignments for journey tracking
• ✅ Uses existing users table for agent info
• ✅ Uses existing Redis for OTP storage
• ✅ No migrations required

OTP Verification Flow

1. Customer enters phone/email
2. System sends OTP via WhatsApp (or email)
3. Customer enters OTP code
4. System verifies and returns JWT token + orders
5. Customer views tracking with JWT token

JWT-Based Sessions

• 24-hour token validity
• Client-side storage (localStorage)
• No server-side session storage
• Automatic expiry handling

Real-Time Tracking

• Agent location updates
• Journey history
• Ticket status progression
• Installation progress

Security

• OTP verification required
• Order ownership validation
• JWT token expiry
• Rate limiting on OTP requests
• Masked identifiers in responses

🔌 API Endpoints Summary

Endpoint	Method	Auth	Description
/public/tracking/request-otp	POST	None	Request OTP for tracking
/public/tracking/verify-otp	POST	None	Verify OTP, get JWT token
/public/tracking/{order_id}	GET	JWT	Get tracking details
/public/tracking/health	GET	None	Health check

🧪 Testing

Manual Test Commands

# 1. Request OTP
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/public/tracking/request-otp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"phone": "+254712345678", "delivery_method": "whatsapp"}'

# 2. Verify OTP
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/public/tracking/verify-otp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"phone": "+254712345678", "otp_code": "123456"}'

# 3. Get Tracking (use token from step 2)
curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/api/v1/public/tracking/{order_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9..."

Test Scenarios

• ✅ Valid phone + WhatsApp OTP
• ✅ Valid email + email OTP
• ✅ Invalid OTP code → 401
• ✅ Expired OTP → 401
• ✅ Multiple orders for customer
• ✅ No orders for customer → 404
• ✅ Wrong customer's order → 403
• ✅ Expired JWT token → 401
• ✅ Order with no ticket → null ticket/agent/journey
• ✅ Ticket not assigned → null agent/journey
• ✅ Journey not started → null journey

🏗️ Architecture Decisions

Why OTP Instead of Password?

• Customer doesn't have an account
• One-time access for tracking only
• No user management overhead
• Simpler UX

Why JWT Instead of Database Sessions?

• No database bloat
• Stateless authentication
• Client-side storage
• 24h auto-expiry
• No cleanup required

Why Reuse Existing OTP Service?

• Already integrated with WhatsApp
• Already has Redis storage
• Already has rate limiting
• Already has error handling
• Zero additional infrastructure

Why 24-Hour Token Expiry?

• Long enough for tracking
• Customer can check multiple times
• Automatic security
• Forces re-verification if needed
