  • Customer Overview

    Customer Overview

    Trusted Fleet Management Software Provider Across Australia and New Zealand

    A renowned Australian fleet management software provider supporting government, enterprise, and commercial fleets with a modular, scalable platform that streamlines operations across vehicle maintenance, reporting, telematics, and bookings.

  • Challenge

    Challenge

    Legacy On-Premise Infrastructure Limiting Scalability and Release Agility

    The enterprise had to improve the user experience of its software, but was also facing high resource and IT maintenance costs. The technical constraints in improving the performance were:

    • Lack of tools to support new GPS device integrations
    • Long release cycles of approximately 3 hours in manual deployments
    • No clear separation between Test and Production environments
    • Limited API capabilities to support mobile apps and third-party systems
    • Manual and time-consuming data imports from vehicle master data sources

    There was a need for scalable infrastructure to support the fleet management platform and optimize the features developers were progressively adding.

    Modernizing the Fleet Management Platform with Azure and DevOps Automation

    CriticalRiver partnered with the organization to migrate the fleet platform to Microsoft Azure with zero disruption. We consolidated more than 100 test environment databases and more than 100 production environment databases into a single system. The process included:

    • Virtual Private Cloud: Multilayer security across all application layers
    • Separate Test and Production Environments: Safe, cost-effective testing without disrupting live operations
    • Jenkins and Octopus Deploy: Automated CI/CD pipelines for faster deployments, fewer errors, and consistent releases
    • GPS and Telematics Integration: Real-time visibility into vehicle activity, fuel use, driver safety, and maintenance scheduling
    • HaynesPro and VinDecoder: Automated vehicle data imports, replacing error-prone manual entry with a high-accuracy digital system

    CriticalRiver also exposed secure APIs for mobile and third-party integrations, enabling real-time tracking, fuel monitoring, and maintenance scheduling while eliminating manual processes. The APIs are protected through authentication, HTTPS encryption, rate limiting, and input validation, guarding against data breaches and unauthorized access.
