Dispatch board
A live board of loads, trucks and drivers. Our dispatch software development starts from how your dispatchers already work. Assign work in a few clicks and see conflicts early.
We engineer software around how your operation actually works.
Fleet Management Software Development
For fleets that outgrew spreadsheets
Google Sheets, a group chat and a good dispatcher can run a small fleet. Past a couple of dozen vehicles, work gets done twice and things slip. Our fleet management software development services put loads, trucks and drivers on one board, on top of the ELD and GPS data you already have.

Threshold
When you need your own system
- Dispatchers copy the same load into a sheet, a chat and an invoice.
- A load gets missed because it lived in someone's notes.
- Trucks skip scheduled maintenance because nobody saw the date.
- Driver documents and compliance dates sit in a spreadsheet, or in someone's memory.
- Telematics show where trucks are, but nobody acts on the data.
- Growth means hiring another dispatcher instead of moving more loads with the same team.
Modules
What we build
Fleet management software development usually starts with dispatch and a driver app. Other modules follow.
GPS vehicle tracking and geofencing
Every truck on one map, with history. Geofences around yards, customers and restricted areas trigger arrival notices, detention timers or alerts.
Driver app
Jobs, stops, documents and messages in one place. Drivers capture PODs, photos and pre-trip inspections (DVIR) on the phone.
Preventive maintenance
Service schedules by mileage or engine hours, work orders, parts used, and repair history per vehicle. Defects from a DVIR open a work order on their own.
Compliance: HOS, IFTA and driver files
Hours of service from your ELD, IFTA mileage by state, and reminders for licenses, medical cards and DOT inspections. Audit-ready reports instead of a folder hunt.
Fuel and cost per truck
Fuel card data, tolls, repairs and driver pay tied to each vehicle and each job, so you see which trucks and lanes make money.
Driver safety
Harsh braking, speeding and idling turned into simple scores, with dash cam events attached where your camera provider allows it. Coaching notes stay on the driver's record.
Fleet reports
Utilization, empty miles, on-time delivery, cost per mile. Reports you choose, not 40 charts nobody opens.
Segments
Who it's for
Mixed fleets with electric vehicles get battery level and charging stops in the same view.
Trucking and freight carriers
Loads, HOS, IFTA, settlements.
Last-mile delivery
Many stops, tight windows, proof of delivery.
Field service
Technicians, vans, parts on board, job notes.
Construction and equipment
Machines and trailers as assets, engine hours, site moves.
Passenger transport
Shuttles and buses, schedules and inspections.
Telematics
Use the ELD data you already have
You already pay for telematics. Most of that data ends up on a map nobody has time to watch. We connect to your telematics provider through its API and turn the data into tasks:
- a truck idles too long or leaves its route, and dispatch gets an alert
- mileage passes a service threshold, and a maintenance work order opens
- a driver nears hours-of-service limits, and the board flags the next load
- a delivery runs late, and the customer gets an updated ETA
Late deliveries can push an updated ETA to the customer. Route optimization →
Adoption
A driver app drivers actually use
Drivers already juggle the ELD, the phone and the paperwork. Another clumsy app won't get used. Our rules:
- the day's jobs on the first screen
- POD and photos in two taps
- works with poor signal and syncs later
- big text, few fields, no training manual
We test early versions with a few of your drivers and change what annoys them.
Integrations
Integrations
The system sits in the middle of tools you already run:
- ELD and telematics providers, through their APIs
- Fuel cards for transactions and fuel tax data
- Maps and navigation — we've built on Google Maps
- Calls and texts to drivers and customers — Twilio and Bandwidth
- TMS and accounting for loads, costs and driver pay. TMS page →
We check each provider's access rules during discovery. A failed sync raises an alert instead of a silent gap.
Process
How we work
- 01
One dispatch day
We sit with dispatch, drivers and the shop, from the first call to the last delivery, and list what gets typed twice.
- 02
Scope and price for release one
Usually the dispatch board and driver app. You get a written estimate.
- 03
Clickable prototype
Dispatchers and a few drivers try it and tell us what's wrong.
- 04
First release
Working software on real loads, shown to you every sprint.
- 05
Roll out by group
One terminal or one team first, then the rest of the fleet.
- 06
Support
We stay after launch, fix issues and add maintenance, compliance or reports as the next steps.
Cost
Cost: no per-truck fees
Per-vehicle SaaS pricing grows with the fleet. With custom fleet management software, you pay for the build and for support, and adding a truck doesn't change the bill. For example, a 50-truck fleet paying $100 to $150 per vehicle each month spends $60,000 to $90,000 a year on subscriptions — an illustration from industry research, not a quote. We put your real numbers next to a custom build before you decide.
Cost depends on modules in the first release, whether you need a driver app, ELD, fuel card and accounting integrations, and the number of user roles and locations. If an off-the-shelf tool covers your needs at a fair price, keep it. We can build only the pieces it's missing.
Ownership
What you own
Hiring a fleet management software development company shouldn't lock you in. The code is yours, with documentation, so any team can take it over. Role-based access, encrypted data, backups, and hosting in the cloud or on your servers. Releases you can trust: automated tests and a way to roll back each release. Support after launch, with response times agreed up front. We use AI to speed up coding and testing. People on our team check and own each change.

FAQ
Fleet software FAQ
How much do fleet management software development services cost?+
It depends on modules, integrations and whether you need a driver app. Many fleets start with the dispatch board and driver app, then add the rest. You get a written estimate after we see your dispatch day.
How long does it take?+
A first release with dispatch and a driver app usually lands in a few months. Each later module is a smaller step.
At what fleet size should we stop using spreadsheets?+
There's no fixed number. The signal is when growth means hiring someone to copy data, or when a missed service date or a forgotten load starts costing real money.
Can we keep our current ELD and GPS hardware?+
In most cases. We connect through your provider's API and check its access rules during discovery. Switching hardware isn't part of the plan.
Does the driver app work without signal?+
Yes. Drivers can finish stops, take photos and capture PODs offline. Everything syncs when the phone is back online.
Can you handle electric vehicles?+
Yes, if your vehicles or chargers share data. Battery level, range and charging stops can sit next to the rest of the fleet.
Will this replace our dispatchers?+
No. It takes the copying and chasing off their plate, so each dispatcher can handle more trucks.
Can the system connect to our TMS and accounting?+
Yes. Loads, costs and driver pay can sync with your TMS and your accounting system or ERP.
What should we ask a fleet management software development company?+
Ask which ELD and telematics providers they've connected, how the driver app works offline, and who owns the code. With us, you do.
