Client Background
A Dubai-based logistics provider with:
- 18 delivery trucks
- Daily inter-Emirate transportation (Dubai → Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, RAK)

Challenges Before Installing Technauto Fleet-Tracking
1. High Fuel Consumption
Drivers often took longer routes, idled excessively, and used vehicles for personal tasks.
Result: Wasted fuel & inflated expenses.
2. No Visibility of Vehicle Movement
The management team had no real-time map view of where trucks were.
Result: Late deliveries & customer dissatisfaction.
3. Driver Misbehavior
Hard braking, speeding, and harsh acceleration were common.
Result: High maintenance costs + frequent repairs.
4. Manual Reporting
Trip sheets were handwritten and often inaccurate.
Result: Poor tracking of performance & no accountability.
5. Unauthorized Use of Vehicles
Vehicles were used after working hours without approval.
Result: Fuel wastage + unnecessary wear & tear.
