Fleet Management
Design & Development
IOS, Android & Web
The Client of this Project is a resident of the U.S. and is a Technology Enthusiast. Since a long time, Our Client was interested in setting foot into establishing a Software-centric Business Venture. All that Our Client needed was a feasible idea that could be developed into a profitable Software Solution. And Idea struck when Our Client got to know about the problems faced by one of his personal associates regarding operating a Carrier/Transportation services providing Business.
Our Client's associate mentioned that one of the significant aspects causing inconveniences to the Carrier Business was Fleet Management. Managing and monitoring such a massive number of vehicles took up a lot of time and was straight-out a bothersome task. That's when Our Client got the Idea to develop a Fleet Management Software.
The Client’s vision was to create a full-featured and all-inclusive Software Solution that can help Businesses to Manage fleet operations, whether small or large fleet. The objective was to build a Fleet management Software encompassing functionalities that will provide a Company everything that they need to manage a fleet including:
One of the essential requirements of Our Client was regarding compliance with safety
regularizations such as the FMCSA.
Since it was an extensive Project, Our Client was very choosy regarding associating with a technology partner for the same. And after consulting with many Software development Firms, Our Client found ChromeInfotech to be the best-fit development Company for the Project, given Our past experiences of working with similar Projects.
Now, initially, Our Client associated with Us only to build an MVP for the Idea. But looking at how good the MVP turned Out and the positive response from Users, Our Client, then came into agreements with ChromeInfotech for building the complete Software.
We used powerful Map APIs and GPS device Integrations, which allow Owners/Managers to:
With this feature, one can store, view, and track every single maintenance service undertaken by a vehicle, whether in-house or outsourced, all at one place.
It provides information regarding:
We, along with Our Client, decided to implement this functionality to allow Companies to manage fleet maintenance efficiently. It allows the Owner to preset schedules and reminders for any maintenance service, and accordingly, the Software notifies the Owner or the driver.
We designed the system so that reminders can be set based on various factors such as:
It also provides predictive maintenance dates based on the average daily usage of the Vehicle.
Fuel management is an essential aspect of every Business involved in fleet operations. So Our Client wanted Us to implement this functionality, which can help Companies manage every fuel related issue such as:
It also automatically calculates the operating costs of a vehicle concerning the cost of fuel.
To make it even more convenient for Owners/Managers to track fuel expenses, We integrated various Fuel cards with the Software. So, any transactions processed with the fuel card can be directly viewed by the Owners/Managers and also downloaded as per requirement.
We integrated the Software with a system that can be used to automatically generate fuel reports on the basis of usage per Vehicle, cost of fuel, total fuel used, and so on. These reports are downloadable so that Owners/Managers can avail quick IFTA reporting.
This feature allows drivers to log in new fuel entries with specifications such as:
This functionality pulls up information about every Vehicle in the fleet and creates a report so that Owners/Managers can track the average mileage that a vehicle covers per day.
With this feature, Owners/Managers can seamlessly manage and monitor automotive parts inventory. It provides facilities such as:
We integrated the Software with a system using which drivers can easily carry out vehicle inspections on-the-go. Drivers have the facility to upload required photos along with comments so that it is easy to evaluate whether the Vehicle is in compliance with the safety regularizations or not.
This feature allows Owners/Managers to customize inspection forms and checklist as per the inspection criteria of a vehicle.
With this feature, Owners/Managers have the facility to automate and streamline Inspection workflows according to their convenience. And this includes:
This feature allows Owners/Managers to quickly assign vehicles and drivers to a task using an in-built calendar. It also generates reports regarding:
It also automatically calculates the operating costs of a vehicle concerning the cost of fuel.
One of the first challenges was that We had to implement a facility providing inspection templates and forms that are compliant with multiple Government regularizations such as :
FMCSA DOT MOTAnd so on.
The issue was that ChromeInfotech operates from a different nation than Our Client's, and hence, Our team didn't have in-depth knowledge about these regulations and standards.
Our team performed extensive research regarding these standards and also conducted market research for similar Software solutions present in the market. Our Client also helped Us a lot and guided Us throughout the phase to ensure that We were headed in the right direction. Moreover, Our requirement gathering team themselves went over to the U.S to get more perspective into how these regulations work out.
This phase alone took Us almost 3 months. After this phase, We went forward with MVP development to make sure that we are heading in the right direction. Once Our Client and we were satisfied with the results put forward by the MVP, We dived into the heart of the Product.
One of Our Client's requirements was the integration of numerous third-party sources such as:
Fuel Card Integrations Maintenance Shop Integrations GPS and Telematics Solutions Integration NHSTA API IntegrationMultiple third-party integrations is not an easy task and may lower the quality of Software.
First of all, At ChromeInfotech, We have experienced developers who from the very first stages designed the architecture such that it could support multiple integrations. Secondly, We decided to adopt Agile Methodology, which allowed Us to handle changes instantaneously and dynamically efficiently. Also, We conducted multiple test runs and implemented manual as well as automated testing before its deployment to make sure that all the integrations are working correctly and are not leading to quality degradation of the Software.
Another concern of Our Client was regarding How to identify if a vehicle has been stolen or a vehicle has been diverted from designated routes/area. That’s because Although We implemented GPS tracking facility, it is not possible for Owners/Managers to track vehicles 24/7.
We decided to implement Geo-fence technology to resolve this issue. With Geo-fencing, Owners/Managers can establish a virtual parameter. And when a vehicle crosses over that parameter, a notification is sent to the Owner instantaneously. So whenever a vehicle is being stolen, or a driver detracts away from the designated path or area, Owners/Managers can automatically get to know about it.
As required by Our Client, We at ChromeInfotech were able to successfully deliver an all-rounded POS System that is more than just Billings and Payments. Its wide range of useful features and ease of integration is driving Restaurant Owners to adopt this Software into their Business Ecosystem.
With so many Positive Feedbacks and the Revenues flowing in, Our Client is more than Happy with the Product that We delivered. So much so that Our Client has promised to repeat Business with ChromeInfotech in the near Future.
We do our best work in close collaboration with our clients.
