ABC Transport, a leading logistics company, was struggling with an outdated and unreliable Excel-based system to manage their fleet movements. The company needed a way to easily input and track vital information for each truck in their fleet, such as load weights, compartment temperatures, and drop-off points, maintaining a consistent, organised view of all movements across their depots.

Solution

To address these challenges, our team developed a custom movement manager app tailored specifically for ABC Transport's needs. The new web app features:

• Simplified data entry: The user-friendly interface allowed staff to easily input crucial information for every truck and trailer in their fleet in a single system.
• Enhanced communication: Using smart formatting and location data, the app generates a clear, concise one-page summary for drivers, complete with colour-coded, ordered drop-off points.
• Centralised overview: The app provided a weekly view of all movements, enabling staff to quickly plan, view and report on the status of each truck on the road.

Results

The implementation of the app resulted in significant improvements for ABC Transport:

• 8-10 hours per week saved through improved efficiency, eliminating cumbersome spreadsheets and allowing staff to focus on more important tasks.
• Reduction in errors: Drivers now have a clear, concise summary of each stage of their trip, drop off locations and trailer configurations.
• Better decision-making: With an organised overview of all movements, the company can make more informed decisions about fleet management and resource allocation.
