Real-time fleet visibility and management

We built Telemax for an Australian car rental business, connecting vehicle telemetry, location tracking and fleet-management workflows.

THE CLIENT

The client needed real-time fleet visibility and management across every vehicle.

Telemax is an advanced fleet management and GPS tracking system for cargo and fleet owners, tracking fleets in real time via devices from Meitrack, Gosafe, and CalAmp, with reports that expose idling, wasted fuel, lost time, and overtime.

Softobiz built the platform for a large Australian car rental business that needed real-time visibility across an expanding fleet. The public case-study snapshot records the platform scale and replay capability described below.

THE CHALLENGE

What stood in the way.

CHALLENGE 01

Real-time at scale

Broadcasting live data from thousands of devices to the platform without delay was the core engineering challenge.

CHALLENGE 02

Driver accountability

The client needed to know whether fleets were being managed responsibly on the road.

CHALLENGE 03

Journey risk

Factors that could delay or misplace a fleet had to surface before they became losses.

WHAT WE BUILT

The solution, piece by piece.

01

GPS and OBD telemetry

Live tracking of business and private travel plus real-time vehicle metrics: mileage, fuel consumption, driving behaviour, and stops.

02

Geofencing and speed monitoring

Drivers stay in bounds, monitored against Australian speed limits, with live traffic camera feeds.

03

A message-queue backbone

MSMQ and MQTT move device data to the web application without delay.

04

Microservice architecture

ASP.NET, C#, Azure IoT Hub, and SQL Server underneath; PhoneGap mobile apps for iOS and Android on top.

THE PLATFORM SNAPSHOT

What the published case study records.

10,000+

Reported platform scale

The public case-study snapshot records more than 10,000 devices handled on the platform.

3 mo

Reported replay window

The same snapshot records on-demand replay of a vehicle's activity across the previous three months.

Behaviour visibility

Detailed reports on vehicle and driver behaviour keep fleets accountable.

Proactive servicing

Reminders keep fleet servicing on schedule.

SERVICES BEHIND THIS STORY

The capabilities that carried this engagement.

OPERATIONAL VALUE AT SCALE

Fleet data is only useful while the vehicle is still moving.
