• We digitalized and optimized the planning process of trucking legs.
• We digitalized and optimized in-fleeting / de-fleeting and affiliation processes of transport-involved entities (trucks, trailers, drivers, subcontractors).
• We established real-time shipment status monitoring and direct dispatcher–driver communication.
• The solution supports multiple boards visualizing parts of the fleet to optimize the overview.
• Transparency about the current location of trailers is achieved.
• Updates are spread in real-time to all users to provide an up-to-date representation of the fleet and legs.

• Prioritizing, ordering, and planning the shipment order segments (legs).
• Scheduling fleet-related events such as services, vacations, and decommissioning.
• Highlighting of occupied entities.
• Dispatcher – Driver real-time communication via chat messages

After implementing an MVP, more and more features have been added over time as requested by the users of the application:

• A client-side search feature, which covers all the items on the board and helps much in finding legs.
• Additional informational details are displayed, like full addresses, loading/unloading points, temperature requirements, etc.
• Copy and paste functionality of actions & reminders, simplifying the maintenance.
• Visualization of multiple drivers with split shifts on the same truck.
• Grouping of free trailers by current location.
• Integration of existing chat solutions to streamline communication with the drivers.
• Different views (with or without weekends, full day or main working hours).
