Ecologic – A New Standard in Corporate Fleet Management

The rise in fuel prices and growing safety expectations are driving companies to seek comprehensive vehicle fleet monitoring solutions.

One such tool is Ecologic, offered in a SaaS model and developed in partnership with the software house IT-solve. The system has already been implemented by organizations such as Unilever, Perła, PKO Leasing, Santander Consumer Bank, Provident, and Philip Morris, demonstrating its scalability and versatility in large international enterprises.

Real-Time Analysis of 800 Driving Events

Ecologic’s key differentiator is its advanced driver behavior analysis. The system identifies over 800 types of road events, processing hundreds of millions of records daily, giving companies a comprehensive view of how employees behave behind the wheel. All data is processed in near real-time, allowing rapid responses to unsafe practices or safety violations.

Effective Communication and Gamification

Ecologic focuses on automated communication between fleet managers and drivers. Built-in communication tools significantly reduce the time required to manage a distributed fleet. An additional motivator is Gamecenter – a configurable gamification engine that encourages drivers to improve their driving habits. It helps build positive driving behaviors while increasing employee engagement.

Big Data and Machine Learning Support

A standout feature of the system is its Big Data engine, which aggregates, processes, and analyzes data from the entire vehicle fleet to enable precise driver profiling. This includes:

Trend identification
Detection of safety-critical events
Predictive analytics for potential risks (e.g., likelihood of traffic accidents)

The automatic analysis of hundreds of driving parameters is powered by built-in AI algorithms, which detect behavior patterns linked to increased accident risk and excessive fuel consumption.

Technologies – The Foundation of Scalability

Due to its global reach and the need to process large volumes of data, Ecologic must be both reliable and efficient. Its backend is built with .NET, ensuring high performance and flexible integrations. Key technologies used include:

Amazon Web Services (AWS): Ensures cloud scalability and global availability
ASP.NET Core SignalR: Enables real-time communication—crucial for driver behavior analysis and notifications
SQL Server: Efficient data storage and analytics
Bootstrap, React: For a clean front-end and user-friendly interface
Kotlin, Swift: Used for native mobile apps on Android and iOS
Google Firebase Services: Support mobile event analysis, push notifications, and user behavior analytics
Telematics systems (e.g., ZF Transics, Munic, Teltonika): Enable real-time data collection

This combination ensures Ecologic remains stable during intensive analytics while allowing easy expansion as new requirements emerge.

Key Takeaways for CTOs in the Logistics Sector

From a logistics CTO’s perspective, the synergy between safety, operational costs, and flexibility in feature development is crucial.

Implementing Ecologic:

Enhances safety through precise, near real-time driving behavior monitoring
Reduces incidents – accident rates have dropped by up to 87% in some fleets
Cuts fuel costs – with 800+ indicators helping identify fuel-wasting behaviors
Motivates employees – through gamification and personalized reports that boost driver awareness and engagement
Streamlines fleet management – via automated alerts and reports, reducing manual workload
Enables rapid deployment and scalability thanks to the SaaS model and AWS cloud
Integrates with telematics systems – supporting a wide range of industry-leading devices and platforms

Summary

Ecologic responds to the increasing demand for advanced fleet safety and efficiency tools. By combining cloud computing, AI, and a comprehensive technology stack, it allows for real-time tracking of granular driving behavior, which directly leads to fewer collisions, financial savings, and improved employee satisfaction.
