A regional logistics company operating 200+ vehicles across 15 states. They managed freight, last-mile delivery, and warehousing for retail and ecommerce clients.
Dispatchers used whiteboards and spreadsheets to track 200+ vehicles
No real-time visibility into driver locations
Manual route planning leading to 20% empty miles
Paper-based proof of delivery (POD) causing billing delays
No integration between dispatch, telematics, and customer portals
Drivers used separate apps for ELD, navigation, and communication
No real-time tracking for customers
Manual settlement process taking 2+ weeks
Fuel costs increasing 15% year over year
Vehicle maintenance was reactive, not predictive
Driver retention issues from inefficient routing

**Week 1-3:** Discovery and telematics integration planning
**Week 4-8:** Core platform development
**Week 9-12:** Driver app and route optimization
**Week 13-16:** Customer portal and analytics
**Week 17-20:** Testing and driver training
**Week 21:** Phased rollout across fleet
**Driver adoption is critical:** The best system fails if drivers reject it
**Real-time data enables proactive decisions:** Stop reacting, start predicting
**Customer visibility builds trust:** Give customers what they want—visibility
**Integration complexity is the real challenge:** Telematics, ELD, and fleet systems don't always play nice
**Optimization pays for itself:** Route optimization had ROI in 4 months
