FLEET MANAGEMENT

Fleet Management App Development

Real-time GPS Tracking, Driver Management & Operations Dashboard

We built Fleeta2z — a comprehensive fleet management platform that gives logistics operators real-time visibility into every vehicle, driver, and delivery. Live GPS tracking, trip history, fuel monitoring, and a mobile driver app — all in one system.

The Problem We Solved

Mid-size logistics companies in India operate fleets of 10–200 vehicles with almost no real-time visibility. Managers call drivers to ask where a shipment is. Fuel pilferage goes undetected. Trip logs are maintained on paper. Customer ETAs are guesses.

The Fleeta2z team needed a system that would give operations managers a single screen showing every active vehicle, its speed, route adherence, and fuel level — updated every 30 seconds without a page refresh. Driver behaviour analytics and automated daily reports would let managers spot patterns without manually reviewing logs.

The mobile driver app had to work in patchy 2G/3G connectivity — common on Indian highways — and sync trip data offline before uploading when connectivity resumed.

Our Approach

A dual-product build: web operations dashboard + offline-capable Flutter driver app.

1. GPS ingest pipeline

We built a lightweight Laravel socket listener that ingests GPS packets from hardware trackers (RS232/TCP protocol), normalises coordinates, and stores them in a time-series-optimised MySQL schema. Each device pings every 30 seconds with position, speed, ignition state, and fuel level.

2. Real-time ops dashboard

A Laravel + Livewire web application renders a live map (Google Maps SDK) showing all active vehicles as colour-coded pins — green (moving), orange (idle), red (stopped). Managers can click any vehicle to see its driver details, last 24h route replay, and fuel graph.

3. Offline-first Flutter driver app

Drivers log trip start/end, load details, and delivery proof (photo) in the Flutter app. We used SQLite for local buffering with a custom sync queue — data uploads automatically when the device reconnects, with conflict resolution that never drops a completed trip.

Fleet Management — Common Questions

We've integrated with Teltonika, Concox, and generic NMEA-compatible trackers. If you have existing hardware, we evaluate the data protocol before committing — some devices require a custom parser, which adds 1–2 weeks.

Yes. We design the GPS ingest layer as a queue-based worker (Laravel Horizon + Redis) so it scales horizontally. The live vehicle state is cached in Redis, keeping the map dashboard fast regardless of how many vehicles are active.

A focused MVP (live map, basic trip logging, driver mobile app) typically runs 12–16 weeks of development. Contact us with your vehicle count, must-have features, and budget — we'll give you an honest scope vs cost breakdown within 48 hours.
