Fleet management SaaS platform
A fleet management SaaS company from Canada approached Mallow with multiple operational challenges, including costly and rigid route optimization tools, inconsistent tracking data from various GPS devices, declining performance as data volumes grew, and the increasing risk of downtime during a critical cloud migration. At Mallow, our team addressed these challenges by building a custom route engine, unifying data input across devices, optimizing event processing, and executing a seamless, zero-downtime cloud migration. The result? A faster, scalable, and cost-efficient platform that fully automated asset tracking, improved delivery and fuel efficiency, and streamlined compliance.

Our journey from challenges to outcomes
What were the client’s key challenges?
Third-party routing tools were expensive and didn’t offer enough flexibility.
Vehicles used different GPS hardware, which made data collection messy and unreliable.
As the database grew, key events started lagging due to unoptimized queries.
Switching cloud providers had to happen in one go, without disrupting live operations.
What was our approach?
We built customized multi-stop routing to reduce delivery time and third-party costs.
We standardized GPS data along with metrics such as harsh braking, harsh acceleration, and engine usage to ensure consistent, real-time tracking across all vehicle types.
We accelerated data processing through smarter backend architecture and efficient query handling.
We carefully planned and executed the platform switch with zero downtime, ensuring uninterrupted operations and supporting future growth.
The Impact
| Impact Area | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Asset tracking | Eliminated manual touchpoints by streamlining all vehicle tracking data to flow directly into the system. |
| Delivery optimization | Implemented multi-stop routing to increase delivery speed and minimize wasted time. |
| HOS compliance | Automated state-by-state driving rules and reporting cut down on driver log errors |
| Performance & scalability | Enabled the system to handle high-volume event processing without slowdowns. |
| Infrastructure | Executed the cloud migration in one smooth rollout, with no disruption to services |
