Challenges

Our client was facing several challenges that included:

An application that could track and log the routes of all the drivers.
A web-based system with the flexibility to monitor truck drivers’ log of routes, addresses, payment information, etc.
An application to run on mobile platforms for higher accessibility.

Our Solution

To address the client’s challenges, the Ksolves team developed a custom web-based application that utilized Ruby on Rails technology and offered the right flexibility and scalability to meet the needs of the client. Our Solution include:

For fatigue management, we implemented a system to track and log the working hours of the truck drivers that prevent fatigue-related issues and ensure the right compliance with safety regulations.
For Renewals Alerts, the Ksolves team integrated the notifications and reminders within the application to prompt users about the renewal dates of important documents including insurance and licenses, and also reduce the risk of operational disruptions due to expired documents.
To manage GPS tracking, we added a functionality feature to monitor the routes taken by drivers in real time and enable the identification of optimal routes with all the updates on traffic conditions for timely deliveries.
For health monitoring, our team utilized the real-time monitoring and data analytics system to optimize fuel consumption and identify potential vehicle breakdowns and log driver breaks that directly enhance the overall fleet management and performance.

With Ksolves efforts and expertise in software development, we delivered a comprehensive approach that addressed the client’s requirements. Our solutions offer a user-friendly interface for route planning, and instant scalability to accommodate growing demands and enhance the right customer experience.
