Challenges Faced by the Client
- Inefficient Vehicle Tracking: The client’s existing system struggled with real-time updates, leading to inaccurate vehicle locations and suboptimal routing.
- Performance Bottlenecks: Managing thousands of dynamic markers on a Google Maps interface caused UI lag and crashes.
- Inconsistent Last-Mile Delivery Directions: Reliance on third-party routing solutions resulted in inefficient delivery schedules.
- Limited Maintenance Visibility: Fleet managers lacked a centralized dashboard for monitoring vehicle health, service schedules, and breakdowns.
Customer Support Delays: The client’s call center lacked real-time fleet insights, leading to inefficient responses to customer inquiries regarding delivery status and vehicle ETAs.
