Integrated Fleet Management System for Enhanced Vehicle Tracking and Cost Optimization

The client faces difficulties in integrating and synchronizing vehicle data from various GPS tracking systems. Manual monitoring and data aggregation require significant internal resources, hindering real-time visibility into fleet operations. Additionally, there is a lack of automated expenditure monitoring, such as fuel and maintenance costs, linked to projects and budgets, limiting efficient decision-making.

A mid-sized logistics company operating a diverse fleet of delivery vehicles and mobile assets, seeking to improve operational visibility and cost management.
