A Logistics Company
A major logistics company operating a fleet of 200+ vehicles across Eastern Australia, delivering freight for retail and manufacturing clients.
Problem Statement
The client managed 200+ vehicles with manual tracking, paper-based logs, and no real-time visibility. Fuel costs were high, route efficiency was poor, and driver compliance was difficult to monitor.
Without real-time visibility, dispatchers made suboptimal routing decisions, resulting in 30% excess fuel consumption and frequent missed delivery windows.
Goals & Objectives
- Real-time GPS tracking for all vehicles
- Reduce fuel costs by 20%
- Automate driver log compliance
- Implement predictive maintenance
- Optimize route planning
- Improve customer delivery visibility
