Industry Solution
Total Fleet Visibility Across Every Route and Delivery
Logistics operations live and die by delivery windows. Open VTS gives you real-time GPS tracking, route intelligence, and proof-of-delivery workflows — so dispatchers, drivers, and customers all share one source of truth.

Fleet managers, logistics coordinators, dispatch teams, and operations directors at trucking companies, 3PL providers, and freight carriers.
Challenges
Where logistics operations lose time and money
Blind spots between dispatch and delivery
Once a vehicle leaves the yard, many logistics teams lose visibility until the driver calls in. Missed ETAs, unknown delays, and silent diversions erode customer trust and inflate support costs.
Fuel costs consuming thin margins
Fuel is typically 30–40% of operating cost for freight carriers. Without route-level fuel analytics, inefficiencies compound silently across hundreds of daily trips.
Driver behavior risks and compliance gaps
Harsh braking, speeding, and HOS violations create liability exposure. Manual monitoring can't scale across distributed fleets operating across multiple corridors.
Fragmented systems across warehouse, route, and delivery
When TMS, WMS, and tracking live in separate silos, operations teams spend more time reconciling data than acting on it. Decisions lag behind events.
Use Cases
Workflows Open VTS plugs into
Live dispatch and route monitoring
Track every vehicle in real time from a centralized dashboard. See current positions, planned vs. actual routes, and corridor-level congestion indicators.
Proof-of-delivery and ETA tracking
Capture GPS-stamped delivery confirmations. Share live ETAs with customers through automated notifications tied to geofence arrivals.
Route optimization and replay
Analyze historical route data to identify faster corridors, reduce deadhead miles, and optimize multi-stop sequences based on time-window constraints.
Driver performance and coaching
Score drivers on speeding, harsh acceleration, idle time, and route adherence. Generate coaching reports per driver, per route, per week.
Capabilities
Platform capabilities for logistics
Real-Time Fleet Map
See every vehicle on a single live map with status indicators, speed, heading, and last-update timestamps.
Delivery Zone Geofencing
Define loading docks, customer sites, and restricted zones. Get instant alerts on entry, exit, and dwell time.
Route Replay
Replay any trip with full GPS trail, stop durations, speed events, and deviation highlights over any date range.
Driver Scorecards
Automated weekly scorecards measuring speed compliance, braking events, idle percentage, and on-time delivery rate.
Fuel Analytics
Track fuel consumption per vehicle, per route, and per driver — correlate with driving behavior to isolate waste.
API & TMS Integration
REST API for pushing location events into your TMS, WMS, or ERP. Webhook support for event-driven automation.
Fleet Context
Vehicle and asset types we track
Long-haul trucks
Over-the-road tractor-trailers running inter-city and cross-border freight corridors.
Last-mile delivery vans
Urban delivery vehicles handling high-frequency, multi-stop distribution from local hubs.
Refrigerated trailers
Cold-chain vehicles requiring temperature monitoring alongside GPS positioning.
Flatbed and specialized carriers
Heavy-load flatbeds, tankers, and oversized-load vehicles with route-restriction awareness.
Outcomes
Measurable logistics outcomes
Reduce fuel spend by 12–18%
Route optimization and idle reduction directly cut fuel costs across fleet operations.
Improve on-time delivery rates
Live ETAs and proactive re-routing ensure deliveries hit their windows consistently.
Lower insurance premiums
Documented driver behavior data and safety scores support risk reduction negotiations with insurers.
Eliminate manual check-call overhead
Automated position updates replace costly phone-based driver check-ins across every shift.
Compliance & Safety
- Hours of Service (HOS) visibility through integrated ELD data feeds
- Electronic proof-of-delivery supports audit trails for freight claims
- Speed and harsh-event logging for DOT compliance documentation
- Geofence-based time tracking for FMCSA-regulated rest stops
FAQ
Questions from logistics teams
Open VTS is a fleet tracking and telematics platform, not a TMS replacement. It integrates with your existing TMS via REST API and webhooks to enrich your transport management workflows with real-time GPS data, route analytics, and driver behavior insights.
There is no per-vehicle limit. Open VTS is self-hosted on your infrastructure, so capacity scales with your server resources. Customers operate fleets from 50 to 10,000+ vehicles on a single instance.
Yes. GPS tracking is hardware-based and works anywhere the device has cellular coverage. Open VTS displays positions globally and supports multi-timezone reporting for international corridors.
Open VTS is compatible with 200+ GPS tracker models from manufacturers like Teltonika, Queclink, Ruptela, and Concox. Any device that speaks standard protocols (MQTT, TCP) can be integrated.
Yes. The API exposes trip status and estimated arrival data that you can surface in customer portals, notification systems, or tracking links — fully branded under your own domain.
