Customer:
Our client is a leading fleet management company and approached us to develop a vehicle GPS tracking system for their business to track each vehicle's exact location in real-time, monitor routes, driver behaviour, fuel efficiencies, and other information. The client manages over 300 commercial vehicles across logistics, delivery, and field services and was facing a lot of difficulties in maintaining mileage, fuel, deliveries, trip summaries, driver duty hours, and other information.Hence, he decided to have a centralized GPS vehicle tracking system where he can access everything category-wise and filter the data by date and name to handle the business in an efficient manner.
A Challenge to Create a Vehicle GPS Tracker System:
The client has an expanding business and is tied up with many brands that need deliveries of products on a daily basis. Previously, the client relied heavily on manual logs, phone calls, and spreadsheets to monitor vehicle movements, and that was disturbing the business efficiencies, driver misconduct, lack of real-time visibility, and many other problems.
Clients also often got complaints related to delays due to breakdowns, unplanned repairs, and increased downtime. Hence, there was an important requirement for a vehicle GPS tracker system that helps to maintain driver data, vehicle condition, and other information all in one place.
Best GPS Tracking Systems for Vehicles Implemented By Our Team
We had a detailed discussion with the client to understand his business in detail and to understand the current challenges. After analyzing the client’s operations, technical landscape, and growth goals, our team researched and compared some of the best GPS tracking systems for vehicles and other fleet businesses in the market to understand how they are handling their operations.
We developed a web-based admin panel for fleet managers and a mobile app for real-time tracking and driver communication. Our team of developers created a centralized dashboard and asked the client to integrate GPS devices and IoT sensors in all vehicles.
Other than this, to solve the client’s problems and maximize the business efficiencies in the future, we added the following features in the system.
- User registration: Users (fleet managers, admin, or drivers) can easily sign up using email or phone number.
- Vehicle & Driver Management: This is for the admin side. You can add and manage vehicle profiles with make, model, plate number, fuel type, and more.
- Real-Time GPS Tracking: It allows to see vehicle speed, status like(idle or moving), and track live location of all vehicles on an interactive map.
- Smart Route Feature: This feature detects traffic congestion and auto-suggests the best routes using Google Maps integration or GPS APIs.
- Trip History & Analytics: This shows detailed trip logs with start/end locations, distance traveled, average speed, fuel usage, driver performance, and time.
- Vehicle Health Monitoring: It will send alerts for scheduled services like oil changes, insurance renewal, etc.
- SOS and Emergency Button: Drivers can press the SOS button to send immediate alerts during emergencies for quick support or rescue.
- Geofencing & Alerts: This sends alerts to business owners when the vehicle crosses the decided boundaries, exceeds the speed limit, or takes another wrong route.
- Notifications & Alerts: This sends instant push notifications, SMS, or email alerts for emergencies or critical updates.
Result of GPS Tracking software:
Our GPS vehicle tracking solutions bring a lot of improvement in a client’s fleet business in optimizing daily operations to save cost on fuels.
- Within the 3 months, there was a noticeable 25% reduction in fuel cost because of Route optimization and driver behavior monitoring feature.
- 30% improved efficiency in business due to better tracking of speed, direction, routes, current location, and more.
- There was an 80% reduction in route deviation incidents because of Geo-fencing and route alerts.
- Improved vehicle condition due to better maintenance and tracking of oil, fuel level, and driver performance.
- Monitoring practice helped the driver in safe driving practices, and this reduced vehicle wear and tear.
