Real-Time Fleet GPS Tracking Dashboard

A dispatcher's worst enemy is "where is the truck?" We replaced phone-tag and guesswork with a live map — every vehicle, every route, every geofence crossing, updating in real time.

// Problem

The challenge

Dispatch ran on phone calls and rough ETAs. Nobody could see the fleet at a glance, prove a vehicle visited a site, or know when a driver had arrived without calling to ask.

// Solution

What we built

A real-time tracking and dispatch dashboard fed by in-vehicle telematics.

  • Live vehicle positions streamed to a map over WebSockets with sub-minute freshness
  • Geofences that fire arrival/departure events and exception alerts (speeding, after-hours movement, off-route)
  • Searchable route history and replay for proof-of-service and dispute resolution
  • Driver-facing job list and status updates that close the loop with dispatch
// Architecture

How it works

Devices push location and telemetry to an ingestion service that writes to a time-series store and broadcasts updates to connected dashboards in real time. Geofence evaluation runs on the stream, raising events the moment a boundary is crossed. History queries power replay and reporting.

// Outcome

Results

  • "Where is the truck?" answered at a glance instead of by phone
  • Verifiable proof-of-visit from geofence events and route replay
  • Faster, tighter dispatch with live status instead of stale assumptions
