Speeding up the ordering process with artificial intelligence
We've developed a GPS Tracking product for Suivo Telematics. This shows exactly where your vehicles , machines, employees and other assets are. Besides location it also shows their status (on/off, running hours, maintenance etc.).
"With Suivo, we can relieve our busy employees of administrative tasks and let them get on with what they are good at, construction."
-Tom Willaert, Financial Director H4A
Vehicle management
Suivo offers a range of tools to help you manage your vehicles more efficiently. With comprehensive data at your fingertips, you can have a clear overview of your fleet. The maintenance module allows you to organise data concerning maintenance, insurance and inspection and provides you with prompt notification if action or intervention is needed. The temperature control module issues warnings should the cooling system cease to function properly and the temperature of your load falls below or exceeds a certain threshold. An engine immobiliser helps you to protect your fleet from theft or unauthorised use.
Machine management
Suivo not only offers you an overview of the precise location of your machines, it also provides information concerning availability and use of the machines (operating hours, battery level). With this data, you can optimise your planning and track maintenance so as to minimise repair costs and downtime. Plus, a notification function allows you to protect your machines from theft.
Material management
From a drilling machine to hoisting equipment, to a container and trailer, Suivo manages it all: localisation, real-time follow-up, and inventory maintenance. Searching and waiting are kept to an absolute minimum, which is ideal if your equipment is in different locations. As a result, problems of unused and stolen equipment becomes a thing of the past. The detailed insight into equipment use helps you track and plan maintenance more effectively and also helps with inspections.

Suivo Architecture
Suivo Geo-component Architecture
The backend Geocoding component runs on two nodes with a shared cache (Cloud Memorystore) and the traffic to this component goes through an internal Load Balancer first. The communication between the client and the geocoding component is facilitated by a REST api.
