Case study
FleetTrack Mobile – digitising national fleet operations
Prism Technologies partnered with a Nigerian haulage company to build Android/iOS apps and an operations dashboard that keeps managers, drivers, and finance teams aligned—even with limited connectivity on the road.
Client
Leading Nigerian logistics provider operating 200+ vehicles across five states.
Engagement
Product discovery, UX/UI design, mobile + web engineering, DevOps, enablement.
Timeline
12 weeks to MVP launch · ongoing optimisation retainer.
The challenge
Dispatch teams relied on paper manifests, WhatsApp voice notes, and spreadsheets to track trips, cash collections, and maintenance. Information gaps led to revenue leakage, delayed reconciliations, and minimal visibility for executives.
- No central system for drivers, mates, and dispatch supervisors.
- Manual reconciliation of trip revenue could take 2–3 days.
- Maintenance and compliance reminders were often missed.
Our approach
We embedded with operations, finance, and IT stakeholders to map workflows. Discovery revealed the need for offline-first capabilities, biometric security, and a single source of truth for vehicle, driver, and trip data.
- Conducted journey mapping workshops with dispatch teams in Sagamu and Lagos.
- Prototyped dashboards and mobile interfaces tested with 12 drivers.
- Defined KPIs: reconciliation time, trip completion rate, maintenance backlog.
