Challenge: Introducing transportation IT solution to optimize resources

Our client approached us with a request for transportation management software aimed at optimizing resources and enhancing business processes. The goal was to develop a system that efficiently handles logistics, load mapping, and tracking.

To meet these requirements, we decided to develop a SaaS-based platform and integrate it with a GIS system. This approach allowed us to create an innovative transportation IT solution encompassing routing, navigation, scheduling, and visualization capabilities.

Solution: Enhancing transportation processes with comprehensive SaaS software solution

Innowise has developed a comprehensive SaaS software solution with an integrated GIS system to easily manage transportation processes. Based on the client’s requirements, we have developed a custom platform that has no equivalent in the European market.Our solution offers a range of powerful features, including routing, dispatching, monitoring, and analytics, all tailored specifically for our client's needs. With this platform, day-to-day operations in the trucking industry can be managed efficiently, resulting in reduced business inefficiencies.

Route planner

The system provides the optimal routing method by presenting the most practical or shortest route, allowing users to view load details, the distance between stops, and the estimated travel time. Additionally, the system calculates truck-legal routes to prevent additional expenses and minimize potential vehicle damage.

Real-time tracking

We have integrated the capability to monitor the status of shipments and track load information. Also, our system automatically updates driver shipment ETA calculations, providing customers with enhanced visibility.

Safe & reliable navigation

The solution offers a distinctive truck routing experience, providing instant navigation without any delays. Map data is stored in the backend, eliminating the need for downloading. Moreover, the system can automatically reroute in case of unforeseen incidents on the road. To ensure safe driving, lane guidance, speed limit alerts, and real-time traffic information are clearly displayed.

High-quality maps

We carefully selected the top GIS system available in the market and seamlessly integrated it into our fully customizable mapping platform. Our solution enables clear visualization of location information and precise geodata on high-quality uploaded maps.

User-friendly UI

In addition to being equipped with all the necessary transportation management tools, the system is designed with user-friendly navigation in mind. It features a clear and non-distracting guidance interface that can be customized to meet individual preferences, ensuring ease of use.

Innovative business tools

Equipped with built-in navigation, advanced route optimization, and offline mapping capabilities, our solution empowers users to make informed business decisions using historical and real-time activity data. We have also incorporated innovative tools to track driver location, monitor appointment progress, and estimate arrival times. By leveraging this comprehensive data, you can elevate your business to new heights.
