Logistics Control Tower: Fleet in View
A sample engagement for a freight operator that needs to see its fleet in real time. Vehicle events stream into dispatch dashboards with alerts and analytics, running on a cloud setup sized to keep monthly costs predictable.

Challenge & Scope
Requirements
Show every vehicle's position and status on one live map
Alert dispatchers to delays, stops and route deviations
Keep historical data for analysis and customer reporting
Control cloud costs as the fleet grows
Strategic Objectives
Give dispatchers a single live view of the fleet and give managers reliable data to plan routes and capacity.
Key Deliverables
Technical Execution
Event Streaming Backbone
Vehicle telemetry flows through Kafka topics, so dashboards, alerts and storage each consume the same events independently.
Rules-Based Alerting
Dispatchers define alert rules for delays and geofences without code changes.
Right-Sized Cloud
Infrastructure is defined in Terraform with autoscaling and storage tiers chosen to keep costs predictable.
