Solution
The client needed a centralized solution that would enable the management of its products – devices that transportation businesses install to monitor the health status of the vehicles in their fleets.
We’ve developed a desktop application that connects to trucks via a device installed on them (i.e. digital speedometer) and offers a diagram with fleet management and vehicle health status metrics, such as speed and driving time.
The solution allows the device’s firmware and configuration to be upgraded, fixed, or enhanced when needed. It also enables interconnectivity between the client’s server and third-party servers, such as those of the end clients, via an API.
Collaboration
The collaboration started with the rewriting of the already existing desktop software used for communication with the in-truck hardware that the client manufactures.
Later, the client expanded the project’s scope with an enhanced version of the platform that connects to the trucks through the Internet and provides data in real-time.
Following intense communication with the client’s product team, the automotive software development team transformed the business requirements into software specifications. A competencies-mixed Agile team at Fortech created the product’s architecture from scratch and is now developing the complete software platform.
The software platform for fleet management optimized our client’s costs with freight transport.
