Orbital Fleet Management
A custom platform for scheduling and tracking a 300-vehicle fleet, cutting fuel costs by 32% within the first year.
Client overview
Orbital Logistics manages a 300-vehicle delivery fleet across a regional distribution network, previously coordinated through a patchwork of spreadsheets, radio dispatch and a legacy scheduling tool nobody trusted.
What we were solving for
Dispatchers had no real-time visibility into vehicle location or route efficiency, routes were planned manually each morning, and fuel costs kept climbing without a clear way to diagnose why.
What we found
Ride-alongs with dispatchers and drivers showed routes were frequently duplicated or inefficient due to lack of shared visibility, and fuel spend was going largely untracked at the vehicle level.
How we approached it
We built a custom fleet management platform with real-time GPS tracking, automated route optimization, and per-vehicle fuel and maintenance tracking.
A dispatcher dashboard replaced the radio-and-spreadsheet workflow with a live map view and automated route suggestions.
Driver-facing mobile screens provided turn-by-turn routing and simple status updates, feeding data back into the platform automatically.
Stack behind this project
How the project unfolded
Discovery
Dispatcher and driver workflows mapped through ride-alongs.
Architecture
Data model and real-time tracking architecture designed.
Development
Dashboard, driver app and tracking built in parallel sprints.
Integration
GPS hardware and fuel card systems connected.
Pilot
Rolled out to 50 vehicles before full fleet deployment.
Full Rollout
Deployed fleet-wide with dispatcher training and support.
A look at the work
The impact, in numbers
Within the first year, fuel costs dropped 32% through route optimization and idle-time tracking. Average route completion time fell 19%, and the platform has maintained 99.9% uptime tracking all 300+ vehicles in real time.
