Breakthrough technology and services designed to enhance fleet performance by providing real-time fleet intelligence to managers and in-vehicle verbal coaching to drivers.

The customer is a US-based telematics solutions provider that offers products and services focused on driver safety, operational efficiency, compliance and workforce optimization. Their breakthrough technology and services are designed to enhance fleet performance by providing real-time fleet intelligence to managers and in-vehicle verbal coaching to drivers.

Challenge

They asked us to improve their real-time fleet management system and extend it with new components and features. Also, the customer asked us to support their existing customers who were facing bug reports and had feature reports. Additionally, the engineering team worked under the pressure of a tight schedule and changing requirements.

Solution

We quickly assembled a team for development, bug fixes and quality assurance activities across all product areas, including firmware, frontend (mobile and web) and backend. Among other things, we set up a local HW laboratory.

Impact
