Client Overview

A global logistics company managing automobile shipments across rail, road, and ocean needed a scalable platform to monitor deliveries, ensure real-time data flow, and surface actionable insights.

With operations spanning continents and a large fleet under management, they required a unified system to replace fragmented tracking tools and improve decision-making with predictive analytics.

Challenges

Global-scale logistics operations created overwhelming data management obstacles. This made efficient tracking and transparent communication with customers difficult.

Data Fragmentation

Disconnected systems across transportation modes created information silos, preventing accurate tracking and status reporting for vehicles in transit.

Delivery Uncertainty

Without precise location data, the company faced mounting customer inquiries and couldn't provide reliable delivery estimates for vehicles in transit.

Data processing delays

High-frequency location updates across rail, road, and ocean overwhelmed existing systems, which led to processing delays and inaccurate shipment status reporting.

Solution

We designed and implemented a real-time logistics platform, leveraging advanced data engineering and dashboarding to streamline tracking, analytics, and decision-making.

Real-Time Data Integration

Built a real-time ETL pipeline to ingest, clean, and process raw vehicle data from the central repository. The backend ensures smooth and secure retrieval of synchronized data for real-time tracking and updates.

Geolocation Tracking System

Created an intuitive mapping interface that displays centralized view of vehicle journeys, dynamically updating routes and locations to offer accurate shipment statuses from dispatch to final delivery.

Predictive ETA Engine

Built a forecasting engine that uses historical data, real-time traffic patterns, and carrier performance to provide precise ETAs, along with recommendations for optimal delivery routes and potential delays.

Dynamic Vehicle Dashboard

Designed a personalized vehicle dashboard to deliver actionable insights such as on-time delivery rates, aging VINs, and carrier performance scores, with real-time overview of active, at-risk, and delayed vehicles.

Business Impact

The solution improved delivery efficiency, reduced errors, and gave stakeholders end-to-end visibility across thousands of global shipping operations.

Operational Visibility

Reduced dealer inquiries by 30% and increased operational transparency with real-time tracking.

Improved data reliability

Automated ETL processes ensured data consistency, reducing errors by 40% compared to the previous system.

Robust Scalability

Efficiently managed 10,000+ daily VIN tracking operations with built-in capacity for seamless fleet expansion.
