Why Fleetline exists
The problem
Dispatchers plan routes on whiteboards and WhatsApp, customers ring to ask where their delivery is, and proof of delivery lives on paper that gets lost.
The product
Fleetline optimises routes, tracks every vehicle live, captures digital proof at the door and turns completed deliveries into invoices automatically.
Built for: Delivery, distribution and haulage companies running 10 to 500 vehicles.
- Route optimisation with time windows and capacity
- Live map with delay and temperature alerts
- Driver app with e-signature and photo proof
- Shipment timeline shared with customers
- Automatic invoicing from completed deliveries
- On-time, cost-per-drop and CO₂ reporting

Exception Alerts
Delays, failed deliveries and temperature breaches flagged immediately.
Tamper-Evident Proof
Signatures, photos and GPS stored with timestamps for disputes.
