A Karachi-based distribution company tightens control over a growing delivery fleet
As order volumes grew, a wholesale distributor lost visibility over where its delivery vans were and how much fuel they burned. Live tracking, geofences and fuel monitoring brought the fleet back under control.
Fleet profile
A mixed fleet of roughly two dozen delivery vans and light trucks serving retailers across Karachi, operating six days a week from a single warehouse.
The challenge
- Dispatchers relied on phone calls to find out where vehicles were, making it hard to give customers accurate delivery windows.
- Fuel spend was rising faster than order volumes, with no clear way to see where the extra litres were going.
- There were recurring disputes over whether deliveries had actually reached certain retailers on time.
The solution
- Every vehicle was fitted with a hard-wired GPS tracker reporting to a single live map, so dispatch could see the whole fleet at a glance.
- Geofences were drawn around the warehouse and key retailer clusters to produce automatic arrival and departure logs.
- Fuel sensors and idle alerts were added on the higher-consumption trucks, with a short weekly report review built into operations.
The results
Dispatchers stopped calling drivers to locate vehicles and could give retailers tighter delivery windows.
With idle time and routing under review, fuel savings landed in the typical industry range of around 8–12% over several months.
Delivery disputes dropped sharply, because geofence arrival logs provided a clear record of when each site was reached.
