We’ve used the up-to-date tools to manage and maintain the client’s fleet park more effectively. Our team managed to get the best result aligned to our client’s business needs by applying advanced technologies and proven web services:
- Driving Portal to monitor the fleet park;
- Management Portal to run our client’s accounts and orders;
- Android/ iOS Mobile apps to build fast and cost-efficient routes and assist drivers from the central office.
Goal
A logistic company relied on our industry expertise and set the following goals:
- to integrate real-time track and monitoring system for their fleet park;
- to use solutions that can ensure on-time vehicle maintenance;
- to achieve the greatest degree of driving safety by improving prompt vehicle health monitoring;
- to reduce accidents on the preset route and thus lower accident-related costs.
Challenges
On the way to comprehensive and top-quality solutions, our team has faced the following challenges:
- to implement plug and play technology;
- to provide real-time data updates without reducing the system’s capacity;
- to enhance communication between the administrative center and drivers by making it fast and simple;
- to design an easy-to-manage platform for every user with an intuitive interface.
Solutions
We’ve implemented the following solutions:
Real-time fleet/asset tracking
Our team has integrated technology for automated monitoring of the fleet park of any size to boost safety and speed up delivery.
Video Evidence
The introduction of a vehicle tracking camera has enabled our client to collect factual data of drivers’ behavior on the road. So they could enhance operational processes and minimize incident risks.
Driver Behavior
Our engineers have used OWL cam and SmartWitness to monitor the situation on the route and process detailed insights to ensure safety and diminish accident-related costs.
ELD Compliance
We’ve set up modules to record driver activity over the trip. So our client can follow legislative regulations and obtain up-to-date information about driving and non-driving activity during on-duty and rest hours.
Maintenance/Service
We’ve launched the Platform to diagnose engine condition and capacity. Now our client can collect fault code data to monitor and timely analyze vehicles malfunction.
GPS Location and Trip History
We’ve equipped every vehicle of the fleet park with GPS devices that fits into the vehicle’s OBD2 port. They collect data to ensure smooth and safe operations.
Driver Messaging
Our team has used technologies that allow keeping a smooth connection between a manager and a driver. The latter can receive instant notifications about vehicles, routes, and the like.
