Industries · Transport & Logistics
Every load, every route, in view
Transport and logistics run on vehicles, drivers and deadlines. LIOMO connects them to one platform, so your team knows where things are, how they are moving and what they cost.
Context
An industry measured in hours and kilometres
Transport and logistics companies sell reliability. Customers expect accurate arrival times, loads that arrive in the condition they left, and answers when they ask. Behind that promise sit vehicles spread across a region or a country, drivers working alone, and margins that depend on fuel, maintenance and the hours each vehicle spends earning.
Much of what happens on the road is still pieced together afterwards, from phone calls, delivery notes and fuel receipts. Depots and loading bays keep their own records, often in separate systems. The result is a business that works hard but sees its own operation late, and makes decisions on estimates rather than records.
Challenges
What makes it hard
01
No live picture
Dispatchers call drivers to find out where vehicles are, and customers wait while someone finds out.
02
Condition of the load
Temperature, humidity and door openings matter for many loads, but are rarely recorded in a way that can be shown to a customer.
03
Costs spread everywhere
Fuel, maintenance, insurance and documents are recorded in different places, so the real cost of each vehicle is hard to pin down.
04
Risk on the road
Speeding, harsh braking and long idling wear vehicles and raise risk, yet usually surface only as fines, repairs or incidents.
Applications
How LIOMO applies
- Fleet Management
Live fleet operations
LIOMO Fleet shows every vehicle as Driving, Idle, Stopped or Offline, with trip history, route playback and geofences around depots and customer sites. Temperature probes and cargo-door sensors watch the load, and fuel, maintenance and document costs sit alongside the vehicle data.
- IoT Solutions
Connected depots and assets
Beyond the vehicle, a LIOMO project can connect cold rooms, yard equipment and other depot assets with sensors and gateways, so their condition is visible in the same operational picture.
- EV Charging
Depot charging
As fleets add electric vans and trucks, a LIOMO project can cover depot charging: assessing the site and its supply, selecting chargers managed over open protocols such as OCPP, and scheduling charging around shifts.
- Warehouse Automation
Loading bays and cross-docks
Where goods change hands, a LIOMO project can connect dock doors and handling equipment so that vehicle arrivals and loading activity are visible together.
- Custom Software & Engineering
Links to your systems
Most logistics companies already run order, dispatch or accounting software. A LIOMO project can include integrations, typically over REST APIs, so operational data reaches the systems your team already uses.
Illustrative scenario
Illustrative scenario: a regional distributor
Illustrative example, not a client project
- 01
Connect: trackers and sensors fitted
A GPS tracker is installed in each vehicle. Refrigerated trucks also get temperature probes and a cargo-door sensor, and trackers wired to the vehicle electronics report fuel level and engine readings.
- 02
Collect: one stream of vehicle data
Positions, temperatures and door events reach the LIOMO gateway over the mobile network and are stored on LIOMO Fleet, including messages sent after a gap in coverage.
- 03
Understand: trips, rules and costs
Positions become trips, and each reading is checked against the rules the distributor sets: geofences around both depots, temperature limits per truck, and cargo-door alerts outside working hours. Fill-ups and service costs are logged per vehicle.
- 04
Act: answers and decisions
Dispatchers answer customer calls from the live map, the team is alerted when a load space leaves its limits, and the monthly fleet report shows which vehicles cost more to run than they earn.
Outcomes to aim for
Outcomes to aim for
Answers without phone calls
Accurate locations and arrival information for customers and colleagues, straight from the live map.
Loads with a record
A temperature, humidity and door history that shows how each load was kept on the way.
Running costs in sight
Fuel, maintenance and document costs per vehicle, so the expensive ones stand out early.
Safer, steadier driving
Driver scores and speeding alerts that turn conversations about driving into conversations about facts.
