Client Overview
A safety-first SaaS startup focused on optimizing fleet and personnel tracking across industries.
The company set out to develop an advanced platform that empowers fleet managers and drivers with real-time insights into GPS location, speed, distance traveled, and safety-related parameters.
Their vision was to enhance operational efficiency and ensure on-road safety through a smart, data-driven tracking system.
The platform needed to be lightweight yet powerful, capable of handling dynamic data streaming, real-time alerts, and secure data flow—all while maintaining a clean and intuitive UI across web and mobile.
The goal: create a scalable, secure solution using modern cloud and map APIs.

Responsive UI for Admin & Drivers
Simple yet powerful dashboards tailored for both management and on-ground personnel.
Scalability & Data Streaming
Needed to handle high volume of simultaneous location pings.
Security & Privacy
Protecting sensitive tracking data with robust encryption and access control.
Google Maps API Integration
For high-accuracy location services and visualization.
