Fleet Tracking, Extended to Mobile
Extending an existing fleet management system into an Android and iOS app that lets customers track vehicles, review exceptions and replay routes.
Client Overview
Aglo Technologies had developed a fleet management system and needed a mobile application that could extend fleet visibility to its customers.
Aglo Technologies partnered with iSolve Mobility to assist with the development of Pulstrac, an Android and iOS app on Xamarin that integrates with the existing system through web services.

Fleet Management & Mobile Tracking
The Business Problem
Aglo Technologies needed to extend its existing fleet management system to customers through a mobile application.
The app had to integrate with the existing system
Web services integration was central because the mobile experience drew on the existing fleet management system.
Customers needed more than location
The app had to show fleet locations, exceptions and alerts including acceleration and low fuel.
Users needed route history
The solution had to let users review the route a driver took.
What Made This Complex
The challenge was not simply putting pins on a map. The app had to extend an existing system to Android and iOS while exposing location, exceptions, alerts and route playback.
Extending a system that already exists
The mobile app had to integrate with Aglo's fleet management system through web services.
Exceptions, not just locations
Customers needed visibility of acceleration, low fuel, alerts and other fleet data alongside location.
Reviewing what happened on the road
Route playback needed to show the route a driver took as an animated sequence of pins on a map.
Our Role
