About the client

Our client is a fast-growing logistics company in India, managing a fleet of trucks and drivers across multiple states. They needed a reliable partner to modernize their operations with real-time visibility, smart route planning and automation.

Business

Context

The client faced several operational challenges while scaling their business:

  • Tracking vehicles across routes was manual and inconsistent
  • Drivers often delayed reporting, leading to late deliveries
  • Fuel wastage and unauthorized stoppages increased costs
  • Lack of real-time insights caused inefficiencies in decision-making

Smart Logistics wanted a single platform to digitize fleet operations, optimize costs, and improve supply chain visibility.

Solution

Overview

We implemented Aira Connect, our advanced GPS and telematics platform, tailored to the client’s logistics operations. The solution simplified fleet tracking, optimized routes, improved accountability and provided end-to-end supply chain visibility.

Real-Time Fleet Tracking & Monitoring
  • IoT devices installed in every vehicle provided 24/7 GPS tracking
  • Live dashboard enabled managers to view routes, stoppages and delivery progress
  • Traffic-aware updates: If a delivery was delayed due to traffic, GPS data detected it in real time. The system recalculated revised arrival times and updated managers instantly
Smart Fuel & Driver Behaviour Monitoring
  • Sensors tracked fuel usage and detected fuel theft
  • Driver behaviour monitoring for overspeeding, harsh braking and idling
  • Performance scores encouraged safer and more efficient driving
Route Optimization & Problem-Solving
  • AI-powered route planning suggested the best routes for speed and cost
  • Draft management allowed managers to test multiple route options
  • Real-time alerts for overloads, delays or diversions improved response times
  • Drivers could report issues directly through a mobile app, enabling instant resolution
Supply Chain Visibility
  • End-to-end visibility of vehicles, goods in transit and assets
  • Proactive monitoring of shipment conditions ensured reliable deliveries
  • Alerts for unexpected stoppages or diversions gave managers more control
Custom Dashboards for Smarter Decisions

Every logistics company has unique KPIs, so we built a customizable dashboard for Smart Logistics:

  • Role-based dashboards for managers, supervisors and drivers
  • Custom KPIs like fuel efficiency, idle time, delivery delays, and driver performance
  • Visual analytics with heatmaps, trend lines, and exception reports
  • Automated reports generated with a single click, saving hours of manual work

This flexibility ensured that decision-makers always had the right insights at the right time.

Enabling Quick Onboarding

Onboarding new fleets and staff became a simple five-step process:

  • Set up company profile – Add company name and logo
  • Upload fleet data – Import vehicle details manually or via .csv
  • Add drivers – Enter driver info, work hours, and license details
  • Map delivery routes and points – Define delivery locations and contacts
  • Assign roles and access levels – Manage permissions for managers, supervisors and drivers

This process allowed the client to get started within the same day.
