Q: What features should be included in fleet management software?

The set of features should always reflect the tool’s purpose, which varies from business to business. It would be a safe bet to include the basics like GPS tracking and routing, driving behavior analytic tools, various dashboards (maintenance alarms, fuel consumption, trip logs, mileage, etc.), fleet alarms, fuel management tools, and others. We can also recommend using the AI/ML-powered components to enhance the analytics and use the data provided by the alarms and cameras to gain additional insights and patterns.

Question 1

What core technologies do you use for fleet management software development?

Accepted Answer

The choice of tech stack depends on the functions the software should have, as well as the development techniques and approaches we use or follow to create the tool. Our core technologies include connectivity and IoT, cloud solutions and DevSecOps, big data, data science, Edge processing, location-based services, and embedded development, and they are subject to change depending on the tasks.

Question 2

Fleet management software development might be too difficult to manage remotely. How can I be sure the communication will be prompt and smooth?

Accepted Answer

It can be if communication hasn’t been set as the top priority. At Relevant, it is so for any project we take. We work closely with the client and enable our teams to reach the client representatives at any time to discuss the issues. We use software like Slack and Jira for management, and various communication tools to keep in touch (emails, chats, phones). We schedule the weekly meetings to discuss the scope of work we have done and the one we plan to, so the client is always in the know.

Question 3

Besides the fleet management software, what else can your company develop?

Accepted Answer

We’re an end-to-end IT development company specializing in various software and technologies. Our expertise allows us to help businesses from banking, healthcare, fintech, and other domains undergo digital transformation with ease and speed. We provide digital design solutions, develop mobile and web apps, and core IT infrastructure, and integrate third-party software to enhance the performance of already implemented solutions.

Question 4

Are your fleet management systems scalable?

Accepted Answer

Our fleet management solutions can be scalable if the client requests that option. In general, monolithic systems are cheaper to create, but if you aim for long-term functionality and want to adjust to the market changes quickly, we suggest opting for scalable solutions. The scaling process requires more resources, time, and talents to be completed successfully. We design and implement tools with scalability in mind and know what tools we should use for that. What we need is the client’s approval and readiness to pay more now only to save more later.

Question 5

What features should be included in fleet management software?

Accepted Answer

The set of features should always reflect the tool&#8217;s purpose, which varies from business to business. It would be a safe bet to include the basics like GPS tracking and routing, driving behavior analytic tools, various dashboards (maintenance alarms, fuel consumption, trip logs, mileage, etc.), fleet alarms, fuel management tools, and others. We can also recommend using the AI/ML-powered components to enhance the analytics and use the data provided by the alarms and cameras to gain additional insights and patterns.

Question 6

Do you work with existing fleet management software or only develop custom fleet management software development from scratch?

Accepted Answer

We do both. Suppose the company already has a reliable fleet management system and needs only a few new components to be integrated. In that case, we can do it to save costs and keep the system&#8217;s operational efficiency. But if the business only starts adopting digital solutions, we can develop one from scratch, considering the future business strategy, market insights, and the rise of promising technologies.

Question 7

Will we sign an NDA before you start working on the project?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We sign the NDA with every client before starting every new project. This set a clear understanding of what they can expect from us regarding the data processing, the information we should keep confidential, and how we should or shouldn’t use the corporate information.

Question 8

What are the benefits of outsourcing the enterprise fleet management software development to remote tech vendors?

Accepted Answer

Outsourcing fleet management software development to remote teams has plenty of advantages for the business. First, you will already have a fully assembled team with people skilled in the technologies needed for the solution. Second, you don’t need to think about the hardware. Third, they might already have expertise in your niche field, so they may offer you a better alternative that will save you time and money. In addition, you won’t need to rent the office to locate the tech department. The quality of the result, however, will be exactly the same.

Question 9

Who will manage the project?

Accepted Answer

We assign a project manager (PM) to every project we work on to make sure that the team and clients are on the same page regarding the task. Our PM will communicate closely with the client or their representatives during the whole development cycle and will be the first point of contact to accept edits or suggestions and assign the team new tasks on your behalf. Plus, they will update you on the project’s progress and provide you with the requested reports.

Question 10

How can I test the expertise of your developers' team?

Accepted Answer

Our development teams comprise experienced engineers whose skills and knowledge we thoroughly tested before offering them a position at Relevant. However, we will respect your decision to run your own technical tests and interviews with our developers and will assist you with everything needed for it.

Question 11

What company sizes do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We develop solutions to solve a business&#8217;s fleet management problems regardless of its size. We can roll out the development of a scalable enterprise-level IT system to integrate it with the existing ecosystem, and we can work on a specific solution that the emerging startup needs to test their hypothesis. We will recommend to you the product that would be the best fit for the problem, business goals, and future digital transformation strategy.

Question 12

Do you provide the fleet management software development services remotely or do you have any land-based offices?

Accepted Answer

We do both remote and office-based fleet management software development to cover the needs of various businesses. We have two offices in Poland and Ukraine and over 150 employees currently working for Relevant worldwide. Our teams use land-based and cloud servers to comply with various countries&#8217; data storage and processing regulations. It allows us to develop compliant fleet management tools for various businesses fast and cost-efficiently.
