Business Requirement

In today’s challenging and highly competitive industry, logistic service fleet operators need solutions that will give them a competitive edge. The client is having a warehouse to store their goods and they have their own vehicles to deliver goods from the warehouse to the various dealer locations. The communication between the driver and the fleet manager or central dispatch office plays a vital role for planning the dispatches as the client wants to also incorporate changes in schedules on the fly. In most of the countries the usage of mobile phones are strictly prohibited while driving vehicles and so an alternative solution to establish communication between the driver and the fleet manager on demand was the need of the hour.

Trinetra provided a GPS Real Time Vehicle Tracking & Fleet Management solution equipped with reliable and durable Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) to establish a 2-way text communication between the driver and the fleet manager. The Mobile Data Terminal consists of a screen and using keypad the driver can enter the necessary information to communicate with the fleet manager.

With the help of Mobile Data Terminal integration, the drivers can accommodate changes in schedules on the fly by receiving communication from the fleet manager and drivers can also acknowledge and respond to the new schedules. When the driver safely delivered the goods to the particular dealer location on time, he can send a message through the MDT that the goods has been delivered and so the fleet manager can easily plan for the next delivery of goods to the subsequent dealer locations. Specific reports based on logistic trips undertaken with detailed insights will be available which will help the organization to monitor the on time delivery of consignments and vehicle utilization methods. Also, in case of any emergency the driver can easily communicate with the fleet manager through the MDT.

Besides GPS Vehicle Tracking & Fleet Management Solutions to track the movement of their vehicles and goods, 2 way text communication satisfies the need to communicate with drivers in a safe manner and at the same time for the driver to update the statuses back to the fleet manager.
