Internet of Things in Fleet Management

From real-time tracking and geofencing to advanced analytics and eco-friendly initiatives, we at SumatoSoft build IoT-based software solutions that optimize efficiency, enhance safety, and drive measurable results to all companies involved in fleet management. 

The simplicity and power of IoT in fleet management

Our IoT solution for fleet management is a comprehensive ecosystem that caters to a wide range of fleet types—from commercial trucking and public transportation to specialized fleets like agriculture and rentals. At its core, the system integrates a variety of connected sensors that capture essential metrics such as location, fuel level, temperature, and more. This raw data is securely transmitted to the cloud, where advanced algorithms perform real-time data analysis. Users can access these insights through intuitive interfaces, leading to actionable recommendations for operational efficiency, safety, and cost-saving.

The system has produced a significant competitive advantage in the industry thanks to SumatoSoft’s well-thought opinions.

They shouldered the burden of constantly updating a project management tool with a high level of detail and were committed to producing the best possible solution.

I was impressed by SumatoSoft’s prices, especially for the project I wanted to do and in comparison to the quotes I received from a lot of other companies.

Also, their communication skills were great; it never felt like a long-distance project. It felt like SumatoSoft was working next door because their project manager was always keeping me updated. Initially.

We tried another company that one of our partners had used but they didn’t work out. I feel that SumatoSoft does a better investigation of what we’re asking for. They tell us how they plan to do a task and ask if that works for us. We chose them because their method worked with us.

Together with the team, we have turned the MVP version of the service into a modern full-featured platform for online marketers. We are very satisfied with the work the SumatoSoft team has performed, and we would like to highlight the high level of technical expertise, coherence and efficiency of communication and flexibility in work.

We can say with confidence that SumatoSoft has realized all our ideas into practice.

The Rivalfox had the pleasure to work with SumatoSoft in building out core portions of our product, and the results really couldn’t have been better.

SumatoSoft provided us with engineering expertise, enthusiasm and great people that were focused on creating quality features quickly.

SumatoSoft succeeded in building a more manageable solution that is much easier to maintain.

Thanks to SumatoSoft can-do attitude, amazing work ethic and willingness to tackle client’s problems as their own, they’ve become an integral part of our team. We’ve been truly impressed with their professionalism and performance and continue to work with a team on developing new applications.

We are completely satisfied with the results of our cooperation and will be happy to recommend SumatoSoft as a reliable and competent partner for development of web-based solutions
