Custom driver apps: build one, buy one, or rent one?
Summary
Wal-Mart, for example, released a new driver workflow app last year that it developed internally with a portion of the company’s sizable IT team that consists of more than 250 product managers and 1,200 software engineers worldwide. Working with an experienced development partner can also lessen the integration issues you will encounter when pulling data from multiple sources (TMS, ELD, weigh station bypass tools, navigation, etc.) Understanding all the components needed to build a successful app is a difficult task, leading to unnecessary frustration due to dramatic swings in unexpected costs and ever-changing timelines. Making the different pieces of an app work seamlessly with ELD telematics, transportation management system (TMS), weigh station bypass, communication tools, training software, and more is a complex and ongoing process. The fourth option allows fleets the flexibility to develop their own custom apps on a SaaS-based platform that includes pre-built transportation components and proven integrations with in-cab technologies.
