Operational Bottlenecks
The organization managed a fleet of over 1,500 trailers and 70 drivers across 30 locations, relying on a paper-based T-Card system that proved error-prone and inefficient. This outdated approach caused scheduling delays, restricted real-time visibility, and triggered penalties for idle trailers. Poor analytics blocked strategic decision-making, while manual processes delayed emergency responses, disrupted communication between dispatch teams, and reduced productivity and growth opportunities.
Fleet Optimization
Softura implemented a digital T-Card platform featuring:
- Real-time dashboards with color-coded indicators that enabled quick visual assessments and proactive responses.
- Drag-and-drop scheduling interface that significantly reduced manual input errors and enhanced dispatch efficiency.
- Centralized management of trailers and drivers that allowed precise resource allocation and improved fleet utilization.
- Automated reporting and analytics that provided actionable insights to support strategic decision-making.
- Secure Azure AD authentication ensured robust security and streamlined user access management.
- Dashboard design aligned with the traditional layout, eliminating the learning curve and creating an instantly familiar user experience.
- Platform architecture supports scalability and future integrations, ensuring long-term adaptability and extensibility.
