About the company
A mid-sized freight carrier operating across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. The company faced rising operational costs and delivery inefficiencies due to manual routing and a lack of real-time fleet oversight. They needed a smarter way to manage daily operations and ensure consistent delivery performance.
Project Overview
A Nordic freight carrier partnered with Intelvision to digitize and optimize their complex logistics operations across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. The existing system was manual, inefficient, and prone to missed deliveries, high fuel usage, and increased dispatcher workload.
Intelvision developed a smart route optimization platform featuring a real-time dispatcher dashboard, mobile app for drivers, and seamless GPS and traffic data integration via API.
The platform dynamically calculates optimal routes based on vehicle load, traffic, and driver schedules, giving dispatchers full control and visibility, while enabling drivers to manage their delivery tasks on the go.
Built for scalability, the system empowers logistics managers with:
- Centralized operations oversight
- Real-time route updates
- Automated planning based on live data
Challenges and Pains
Manual Route Planning & Fleet Underutilization
The freight carrier relied on dispatchers manually planning routes — a time-consuming process that led to inconsistent delivery schedules and underused vehicles.
Lack of Real-Time Visibility
Dispatchers had no centralized platform to monitor or control daily fleet operations. This made it nearly impossible to react to changing conditions like traffic or delays.
Rising Fuel Costs & Planning Overhead
Inefficient routing and fragmented oversight caused fuel expenses to climb. Dispatchers spent excessive time each day juggling spreadsheets, phone calls, and outdated maps.
Scaling Efficiently Across Multiple Countries
Operating across four different countries added a layer of complexity — the client needed a solution that could adapt to varying logistics regulations, traffic data, and route conditions.
Solution
Intelvision assembled a dedicated development team within just two weeks to design and implement a robust route optimization system tailored to the client’s cross-border freight operations.
The core solution included:
- A smart route optimization engine that factors in vehicle loads, driver schedules, and live traffic.
- A centralized dashboard for dispatchers to monitor and manage daily fleet activity in real time.
- A driver mobile app for navigation, delivery task management, and real-time updates.
- Full API integration with GPS and traffic data services for seamless automation.
