Do you build ELD-compliant hours of service tracking?

Yes. Hours of service recording, FMCSA roadside inspection data transfer, and DVIR vehicle inspection reports can all be built into the driver app. The specific compliance requirements depend on your vehicle class and operation type, which we map during discovery before any ELD feature is scoped.

Can you integrate with our telematics system?

Yes. We integrate with vehicle GPS units, OBD telematics hardware, and major telematics platforms through their APIs. The integration approach depends on the hardware already deployed in your fleet, which we confirm during discovery rather than assuming a standard interface that may not apply to your vehicles.

Can customers track their delivery in real time?

Yes. Customer-facing tracking links with live vehicle position, estimated arrival time, and status notifications are a standard feature of the delivery management build. The tracking page is branded to your operation and updates continuously from the driver’s GPS rather than from a static status field.

How is this different from your Logistics industry page?

The Logistics and Transportation industry page covers the business landscape and the case for digitising fleet operations. This page covers what building a logistics and fleet management app actually involves — driver app design, ELD compliance, telematics integration, cost tiers, and technology stack.

Logistics & Fleet Management App Development

Fleet management software is almost always built for the operations center and almost never built for the driver. A dispatcher with a full-featured dashboard and a driver with a confusing tablet interface that takes thirty seconds to confirm a delivery is a system where the data that matters most — what actually happened at the stop — arrives late, inaccurate, or not at all. The driver’s experience is where fleet management data quality is made or lost.

For freight operators and field service businesses, the app is also the customer’s visibility into where their delivery or their technician is. A tracking link that shows a real position rather than a last-known location, an estimated arrival that updates as traffic changes, and a proof of delivery that arrives in the customer’s inbox before the driver has left the site are what separate a logistics operation that earns repeat contracts from one that spends time on the phone answering where is my delivery.

01

Route Optimization and Dispatch

Multi-stop route planning, automated and manual job assignment, real-time schedule updates pushed to the driver app, and dynamic rerouting when conditions change mid-shift.

02

Driver App and Real-Time Tracking

A driver-first mobile app for job acceptance, navigation, delivery confirmation, and proof of capture, with live vehicle tracking visible to dispatchers and customers simultaneously.

03

ELD and Compliance Management

Hours of service recording, FMCSA data transfer compliance, DVIR vehicle inspection reports, and the IFTA fuel tax reporting that commercial carriers need before the next audit.

A platform for managing a company’s own fleet of vehicles, with driver scheduling, job assignment, live tracking, vehicle maintenance management, and operational reporting by driver and route.

A delivery operations platform with consignment tracking from pickup to delivery, customer tracking links, proof of delivery, exception management, and customer and client notification at each status change.

A job management app for technicians with service vehicles, covering job dispatch, parts and materials tracking, site arrival and departure logging, and job completion documentation.

A dispatcher managing a fleet of twenty vehicles expects to see every driver’s position on a live map, every job’s current status in a single dashboard, and an alert when a delivery is running behind before the customer calls to ask. A driver expects a job list that tells them where to go, what to deliver, and how to confirm it — in a layout that works with one hand on a phone rather than a stylus on a ten-inch tablet that takes two hands and a flat surface to operate correctly.

For commercial carriers, the compliance expectations are specific and non-negotiable. ELD mandates require hours of service to be recorded digitally and transferred to enforcement in a standardised format. FMCSA operator qualification requirements apply to what drivers are permitted to do. IFTA fuel tax reporting requires mileage and fuel records by jurisdiction. A fleet management app that handles operations but not compliance is an app that creates work rather than reducing it for every carrier that uses it.

05 features

Job list and route navigation
Proof of delivery with photo and signature capture
Hours of service and break time tracking
Vehicle inspection report at start and end of shift
Exception and delay reporting

Driver job list, GPS tracking, proof of delivery, and a dispatcher dashboard for a small fleet without ELD or telematics integration. These typically fall in the mid five-figure range and take twelve to eighteen weeks.

Complete driver app with ELD, route optimisation, customer tracking, and vehicle maintenance management. These sit in the high five-figure range with an eighteen to twenty-six week build.

Multi-depot operations with telematics integration, advanced analytics, ERP connection, and enterprise compliance tooling. These run into the six-figure range and are scoped individually.

These are market ranges, not fixed quotes. We give you an itemized number after a short discovery call.

01Discovery

We map your fleet size, your dispatch workflow, your compliance obligations, and your driver’s actual working environment before any design decisions are made.

02Design

We prototype the driver app in the actual operating environment before development starts, testing one-handed use, low-light readability, and offline behaviour specifically.

03Development

We build in sprints with regular check-ins so your operations and compliance teams can review real dispatch flows and ELD behaviour throughout the build.

04Testing

Every build is field-tested on real routes in real connectivity conditions before release so offline queue behaviour and GPS accuracy are validated before your drivers use it.

We build driver apps in React Native for iOS and Android, with offline-first architecture for route and job data. Real-time vehicle tracking uses continuous background GPS with battery management tuned to shift length. The backend runs on Node.js with PostgreSQL for fleet, job, and compliance records, and Redis for live driver positions and dispatch state. Route optimisation integrates with Google Maps Platform. Telematics connects to vehicle GPS units and OBD systems through hardware APIs.

Fleet management apps are used by people who cannot stop to wait for a screen to load. We build for that constraint from the first wireframe because it determines whether drivers use the app or find a workaround that defeats the entire investment.

Yes, and we design for it from the start. Job details, route information, and proof of delivery forms are available offline, captured locally, and synced automatically when connectivity returns. A driver in a rural area or a distribution yard with no signal completes their run without interruption and without losing any records.
