The problem

## Keep a moving fleet in view.

A fleet manager watches trucks on the road, routes running late, driver hours, inspections and fault codes, often in separate tools. A coolant warning or a missed pre-trip inspection is easy to miss until a truck is off the road. The product had to put the whole fleet on one screen and show what needs action first.

- 1Vehicles, drivers and routes live in separate tools
- 2Faults and late routes surface too late
- 3Compliance work is easy to fall behind on

Where the day starts: fleet status, the live map and 32 open items sorted by risk.

Compliance lists every open item with the action beside it: review, open or remind.

The workflow

## From a signal on the road to a fix in the shop.

1. 1
Watch
See every truck on the live map with its status and alerts.
2. 2
Triage
Work the needs-attention list, sorted by risk.
3. 3
Dispatch
Drag an unassigned route onto a truck to assign it.
4. 4
Fix
Turn a fault code into a work order and track it to done.

The product

## Built around the fleet, not the modules.

Each area answers one question for the person on shift, and keeps the detail one click away.

1. Live map
### Every truck, one click deep
Select a unit to see its driver, location, speed, trailer temperature, fuel, hours left and route progress, with actions to message, reassign or replay.
2. Dispatch
### A day's routes on one board
Unassigned routes sit beside a timeline of every truck, with late routes in amber and drive time left for each driver.
3. Safety
### What happened and who needs coaching
A fleet safety score, events by week and type, a review queue sorted by severity and the drivers with the lowest scores.
4. Maintenance
### What's due, broken and in the shop
Work orders by status, critical diagnostics, overdue preventive maintenance and where the money goes.

Engineering

## A live fleet, simulated in the browser.

The demo runs a simulated telemetry feed for 36 trucks that can be paused or played at 30× and 120×. The map uses MapLibre GL on OpenFreeMap tiles, with 2D, 3D and satellite views. A command palette searches vehicles, alerts and pages, and results follow the signed-in role.

- MapLibre map with 2D, 3D and satellite views
- Command palette on Ctrl K
- Role-scoped views and search
- Light and dark themes

1. Find: jump to any vehicle, alert or page
2. Drive: the same data in the driver's app
3. Comply: HOS, inspections and documents in one list

Outcomes

## Designed for fleet teams that need to act fast.

What the product demonstrably does. Measured business results will be added only with evidence and approval.

- ### One view of the fleet
Vehicles, drivers, routes and alerts on a single screen.
- ### Issues sorted by risk
Fault codes, late routes and HOS risks arrive with the next action beside them.
- ### Office and driver in sync
A route dispatched in the office appears in the driver's app.
