Lack of real-time location data and poor shipment tracking.
There was no centralized location tracking for trailers and trucks, teams relied on manual check-ins and status calls, and there was no ETA based on real location context.
Location-aware shipment tracking and status updates.
We integrated GPS feeds with the shipment system for automated tracking updates, live maps, and location-based event triggers, including continuous asset tracking with GPS pings, automated status updates based on geofencing, estimated delivery windows calculated from actual movement, and a fleet view dashboard for the operations team.
Clearer shipment control and reduced inquiry volume.
- 70% reduction in "where's my shipment" calls
- Proactive alerts for delays and early completions
- Improved asset utilization with idle-time visibility
- Central visibility for all ongoing deliveries
“With live GPS tracking and predictive updates, operations teams gained the visibility they needed to manage exceptions, and earned trust from their customers in the process.”
We delivered more than a software solution; we helped transform how production data is captured, trusted, and acted on. With deep expertise in manufacturing and digital systems, we enabled our client to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive, insight-driven operations.
