Integration with GPS/fleet tracking for delivery status updates

Purpose

1. Automate aggregation and dissemination of real-time delivery status by integrating GPS/fleet tracking systems with logistics and inventory management workflows in construction aggregate supply.

2. Enable seamless updates to customers, dispatchers, and inventory managers about vehicle location, estimated delivery times, and delivery completion, reducing manual checks and calls.

3. Ensure more accurate stock-level adjustments by tying inbound and outbound logistics events to inventory records.

4. Empower rapid intervention during route deviations, equipment breakdowns, or schedule changes, minimizing delivery disruptions.

5. Provide auditable trails of delivery activity with timestamped location logs and digital proof of delivery.

Trigger Conditions

1. GPS device update received (e.g., vehicle enters/exists a geo-fenced delivery zone).

2. Change in status relayed via telematics API ("en route," "delivered," "delayed," etc.).

3. Warehouse management system receives event from logistics provider.

4. Manual trigger by driver or dispatcher (via mobile app, IVR, or SMS code).
