Challenge

A customer from an investment company approached us with an idea of creating a GPS tracking application based on two popular systems: - Wialon fleet management system, and - Traccar, which is a free open-source GPS tracking system available on GitHub.
A customer from an investment company approached us with an idea of creating a GPS tracking application based on two popular systems: - Wialon fleet management system, and - Traccar, which is a free open-source GPS tracking system available on GitHub.

Solution

During the development process, we had to adapt some of the Traccar features to what we wanted to implement. Thus, for example, we had to match available fields from Traccar with the Wialon fields. To improve the user interface, make it more intuitive, and add more clarity about users’ roles and available features, we implemented two modules: - Monitoring Module - Admin and Super Admin Module To improve user experience and decrease the amount of struggles, we added Dynamic tables into the Reporting feature. For managing dynamic data tables for Report templates, we created a Data table wizard popup. We have arranged the modules in a more logical and intuitive hierarchy. Messages and tracks, which are also reports with a hard-coded template, were located separately in the menu.

Results

Both our and customer’s teams were stunned by the outcome, because the application was successfully reworked and reanimated. The end result showed that the system can be optimized and customized to the client’s needs to bring a better and more logical user approach. The data is now clearly visualized granting users more understanding of the assigned tasks and letting them spend less time and struggles on deciphering all intricate and old-fashioned features that an application previously had.
