AIoT Solution with Predictive Maintenance for Logistics Company Lowers Cost per Vehicle by 30%

We started by replicating the essential features of the existing platform: real-time tracking, speed and fuel monitoring, address-based geolocation, geofencing, and alerts. Since end-users were already familiar with these features, our focus was on making them faster, more stable, and more scalable.

We integrated our client’s telematics devices, built a responsive React frontend for both desktop and mobile, used Node.js and Java on the backend, and set up the entire infrastructure from scratch on AWS cloud. As an AWS partner, we also secured the client several months of free AWS usage through our partnership with Amazon.

From day one, the platform was designed to scale to thousands of vehicles with flexible cost control and no vendor lock-in.

Maps and video are two of the most expensive parts of any fleet management platform. For our client, using Google Maps alone would have cost over $100,000 per month.

To solve this, we built a custom mapping system for fleet tracking based on open-source technologies, slashing costs to $1,500 per month without compromising performance. To support long-term growth, we designed the system with auto-scaling and separated critical services like maps to ensure smooth performance, even at scale.

For the video module, we sourced a cost-effective 8-camera MDVR system from a trusted Chinese hardware partner and built our own streaming solution to handle heavy traffic. Users can stream live video, access incident footage, and adjust video quality to save bandwidth. One of the client’s customers even prevented a robbery thanks to this setup.

To help the client grow their business, we built a dynamic billing engine. The system automatically tracks how many devices and how much video traffic are used and generates invoices accordingly. It supports multiple pricing models and integrates with various payment systems:

• Stripe
• GoCardless
• Worldpay
• Adyen
• PayPal

We also added white-labeling, allowing logistics companies to apply their own branding.

Once the base platform was released, we started enriching fleet tracking with AI-powered functionality:

• Face recognition to detect if the right driver is behind the wheel
• Predictive maintenance to reduce vehicle downtime and servicing costs
• Driver behavior analysis to flag risky or inefficient driving
• Forecasting tools for last-mile optimization and delivery time analysis

These tools help logistics companies protect their reputation, cut costs, and refine operations, especially in high-risk zones or with sensitive deliveries.

As the client’s business grew, their customers wanted more freedom to choose their hardware. Teltonika trackers are a popular choice in IoT device integration for logistics, but integrating them wasn’t plug-and-play.

The main challenge was that Teltonika devices often use proprietary and partially undocumented protocols, which leads to inconsistent data formats and communication issues.

Our team carefully analyzed these protocols, developed custom parsers, and implemented error handling to ensure accurate data flow into the platform.

Thanks to this effort, the platform now supports real-time tracking of vehicles across a wider range of devices. This gave the client greater flexibility and helped them win customers with Teltonika device setups.

With ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications, a dedicated compliance manager, and a company-wide QM system, Yalantis helped the client align with key regulations in logistics and transportation. Together, we successfully passed multiple security audits and implemented cloud security measures such as encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring.

Now, with a fully custom solution compatible with their IoT sensors for fleet management, the client can monitor regulatory changes and quickly adapt, earning the trust of global logistics companies.

Yalantis continues to act as a strategic tech partner for telematics software development, regularly releasing new features and ensuring the platform stays ahead of evolving compliance requirements.
