BYOD – Truck Driver App

Smartphone as ERP front-end

Eberhard AG is a leader in the construction and environmental markets. The Eberhard Unternehmungen’s own fleet of vehicles has been using the Nufatron telematics solution, which is permanently installed in the vehicles, for years.

Depending on their workload and requirements, the various Eberhard Unternehmungen work together with external transport companies and truck drivers. In order to integrate these digitally into the logistics process, the external driver app for iOS and Android was implemented and placed in the Google Play and App Store. To minimize the effort and thus the costs, EPS used Xamarin and the EPS library set. Thanks to Xamarin there was no need to reimplement for iOS and thanks to the EPS library set many standard functions such as user management, localization, logging, etc. could be reused.

BYOD - Truck Driver App

The Eberhard AG decided to cooperate with EPS for the following reasons:

  • EPS brought years of experience in programming with Xamarin
  • Inserting the EPS Library set

  • Download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
  • Interface design in the corporate design of the Eberhard Group
  • Login and individual release of driver and vehicles by the Eberhard administrator via driver codes
  • External drivers can be assigned several vehicles and purposes
  • Confirm material, quantity, loading location, unloading location, date, destination navigation, unloading etc.
  • Destination can be approached with Google or Apple navigation system
  • Communication function / chat function with push message function between head office and driver
  • Integration of external drivers in the Eberhard disposition
  • Process handling directly via mobile phone
  • Assignment and automatic transmission of orders to the external driver

EPS Software Engineering AG together with Nuftaron AG designed the app architecture and implemented the Eberhard Fahrer app for iOS and Android.

For the conception and realization of the Eberhard Fahrer App, EPS Software Engineering AG was able to rely on proven technology and many years of experience with the cross-platform environment Xamarin. By using EPS’s own library set the development time could be kept short and the budget low.

In a first step the Android version was realized, including the release in the Google Play-Store.

The following porting to iOS could be realized in a very short time thanks to Xamarin. The release in the App Store is also done by EPS.
