The challenge
Trip coordination was manual, with tracking spread across separate workflows.
Drivers and back-office teams lacked a fast, reliable communication channel.
Heavy-cargo restrictions, tunnels and weather made routing hard to manage on the fly.
What Robral built
Built a mobile-first Flutter logistics app on AWS, with enterprise-grade Trimble Maps routing.
Enabled dynamic rerouting for weather disruptions, road restrictions and heavy-vehicle constraints.
Added trip lifecycle and status management, document uploads and expense tracking.
Used Firebase for real-time chat between drivers and operations.
Outcomes
- Clear, centralised visibility of every trip.
- Faster driver–operations coordination through real-time messaging.
- Logistics records and documentation held in one place.
