Transportation & Fleet

A fleet is a distributed system that happens to have wheels.

Our goal in this sector

Keep every asset moving, compliant, and accounted for in real time.

// 01 — State of Play

Where the
sector stands.

Fleet operators manage vehicles, drivers, hours, maintenance, fuel, and compliance simultaneously — usually across a telematics portal, a maintenance package, a fuel card site, and a dispatch board. The cost of a mismatch between them is a truck sitting still.

Regulatory hours-of-service enforcement and driver scarcity make utilization the central metric. Anything that adds unplanned downtime or unpaid administrative time directly reduces capacity.

// 02 — The Shifts

What technology is changing right now.

The forces reshaping this industry — and why they turn into engineering problems.

Shift 01

Telematics became universal

Location, engine, and behavior data stream continuously from every vehicle, which makes utilization and safety measurable rather than anecdotal.

Shift 02

Compliance went electronic

Electronic logging removed discretion from hours-of-service, so planning has to respect legal clocks automatically.

Shift 03

Maintenance turned predictive

Fault codes and usage patterns support scheduled intervention instead of roadside failure.

Shift 04

Electrification added constraints

EV range, charging windows, and depot power turn routing into an energy problem as well as a distance problem.

// 03 — Friction

Where it breaks today

  • Dispatch decisions made without live hours-of-service data
  • Maintenance schedules tracked on a whiteboard
  • Fuel and toll costs reconciled weeks later
  • Driver paperwork submitted on paper and re-keyed
  • No accurate cost-per-mile by vehicle or route
// 04 — What We Build

Systems that fix it

Dispatch and routing systems

Assignment and routing that respects legal hours, vehicle capability, and customer time windows.

Telematics data platforms

Normalized ingestion across device vendors with alerting, utilization reporting, and driver scorecards.

Maintenance and asset lifecycle

Preventive schedules, fault-driven work orders, parts inventory, and total cost of ownership per unit.

Compliance and settlement

Hours, inspections, fuel tax, and driver settlement produced from operational data rather than paperwork.

// 05 — Ground Rules

How we engineer here

Hours of service

Driver availability is legally bounded. Planning systems must model the clock, not just the schedule.

IFTA and tolling

Jurisdictional fuel tax and toll reconciliation require accurate mileage attribution by state.

Device fragmentation

Telematics vendors differ substantially. Ingestion normalizes to one internal model.

Safety data sensitivity

Driver behavior data is personal data and is governed accordingly.

// 06 — Glossary

The language of the sector

Plain-English definitions, so nobody has to pretend they know what an acronym means.

ELD
Electronic Logging Device — records driving time for hours-of-service compliance.
HOS
Hours of Service — the legal limits on driving and on-duty time.
IFTA
International Fuel Tax Agreement — the fuel tax reporting scheme across jurisdictions.
Deadhead
Miles driven without revenue-generating load.
TCO
Total Cost of Ownership — full lifecycle cost of an asset including fuel, maintenance, and depreciation.
// 07 — Questions

Straight answers.

Can you work with our existing telematics provider?

Yes. We normalize across vendors so switching providers does not break your reporting.

Do you build routing from scratch?

We build routing that encodes your real constraints, and use proven engines underneath where it makes sense.

Can you produce IFTA filings?

Yes, from the same mileage data that drives operations.
