Freight and transport operators
See every truck on one map and give each load to the vehicle best placed to take it.
Fleet Management System in Ethiopia
For transport, logistics and delivery operators in Ethiopia that need to see every vehicle, dispatch jobs to drivers and keep fuel and maintenance costs in view.

Who it is for
For operators that run their own vehicles and need to know where they are, what they are doing and what they cost.
2
Delivery and courier businesses
Send jobs to drivers' phones, confirm deliveries at the door and give customers a tracking page.
3
Companies with their own fleet
Track service vans, staff transport or sales vehicles, with fuel and maintenance kept per vehicle.
4
Fleet managers
Review trips, fuel, maintenance and driver performance without collecting files from each depot.
Live GPS tracking
Each vehicle appears on a live map for the dispatch team, with its current status: loading, in transit, delivered or in maintenance.
Location comes from GPS tracking devices fitted to the vehicles. Google Maps provides the map layer that dispatchers, drivers and customers see.
- Live position and status for every vehicle
- Trip history for each vehicle
- Vehicle types, depots and service areas on one map
Dispatch and route planning
Dispatchers create jobs, assign them to an available vehicle and driver, and follow progress from the same screen. The driver gets the job in the app, so nobody has to phone around.
Route planning can follow your dispatch rules or use model-assisted suggestions. Both plan trips with fuel use and delivery time in mind. We agree the approach with you before we build it, based on the data your fleet has.
- Job creation and assignment
- Driver and vehicle availability
- Status updates sent from the field
- Rule-based or model-assisted route suggestions
Driver app
The driver app is built in Flutter for Android and iOS phones. Drivers see their assigned jobs and stops, follow the route, confirm deliveries and report expenses. Updates reach the office without a phone call.
We start with a pilot group of drivers on live routes. Their feedback shapes the version the rest of the fleet gets.
- Assigned jobs and stops
- Route navigation
- Delivery confirmation
- Expense reporting
Fuel, maintenance and vehicle records
Fuel records, maintenance schedules and driver performance sit next to each vehicle's trip history. Managers can review costs per vehicle instead of collecting separate files.
If fleet costs should flow into your accounts, the Dream ERP fleet module adds insurance records, licence expiry alerts and operating cost reports.
Fuel
Fuel entries and driver-reported expenses for each vehicle.
Maintenance
Scheduled service, service history and vehicles currently in maintenance.
Vehicles and drivers
Vehicle profiles, driver profiles, trip history and driver performance.
Hardware and integrations
DreamTech builds and supports the software. Live tracking also needs a GPS tracking device with a data connection in each vehicle.
During scoping we confirm the devices, connectivity and Google Maps usage for your vehicles and service areas, before any hardware is bought. If you already use trackers, we check whether they can send location data to the system.
What the system connects to
- GPS tracking devices fitted to vehicles
- Google Maps for the map layer
- Firebase cloud services
- Your other business systems, where an integration is agreed
Pricing in ETB
We have not published a fixed price for the fleet system. We quote in ETB after a short scoping call, once we know your fleet, workflows and integrations.
The proposal gives one price for the agreed scope, paid by milestones. A monthly support SLA is optional. It starts only after acceptance and handover, and only if you choose it.
Tracker devices, SIM data and Google Maps usage have their own costs. We list them during scoping so you can budget for the full system.
What affects the quote
- Number of vehicles, depots and users
- Modules in the first release
- Driver app and customer tracking portal
- Rule-based or model-assisted route planning
- Integration with existing trackers or systems
- Hosting and support
Case study
Fleet Management System
This project is DreamTech's implementation overview for operators of freight, delivery and other commercial vehicles. It replaces phone-based coordination with shared, location-aware records.
The project page names no client and reports no measured savings.
Built with Flutter, Python, Firebase, Google Maps and IoT tracking devices.
What the project covers
- A live map of vehicle positions and job status for dispatch
- Jobs assigned on the dispatch screen and received in the driver app
- Route suggestions from configured rules or model assistance
- Delivery confirmations and expenses recorded at the point of work
- A status page customers can check instead of calling
- Trip, fuel and maintenance history for each vehicle
Fleet management vs GPS tracking only
A GPS tracker on its own shows where a vehicle is. A fleet management system also covers the work the vehicle does and what it costs.
| What you need | GPS tracking only | Fleet management system |
|---|---|---|
| Live vehicle location | Yes | Yes |
| Trip history | Yes | Yes |
| Job dispatch to drivers | Not included | Yes, from the dispatch screen |
| Route planning | Not included | Rule-based or model-assisted suggestions |
| Driver app | Not included | Jobs, navigation, delivery confirmation and expenses |
| Fuel and maintenance records | Not included | Per vehicle, next to trip history |
| Customer delivery tracking | Not included | Delivery-status portal |
| Best for | Knowing where vehicles are | Running daily fleet operations |
If you only need to see where vehicles are, a tracking-only service may be enough. Choose a fleet system when dispatch, drivers and costs also need managing.
FAQ
