Integrating GPS for live vehicle tracking and reports

Purpose

1.1. Automate real-time vehicle tracking using GPS data for full oversight of milk delivery fleets—routing, journey records, idle/movement logging, theft/tampering alerts, and compliance automation.
1.2. Automates the generation of delivery, attendance, mileage, and exception reports to support data-driven decision-making, route optimization, and automated operational accountability.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Fleet vehicle ignition or movement event.
2.2. GPS device location change or periodic interval (e.g., every 30 seconds).
2.3. Arrival at destination, route deviation, unauthorized stop, or emergency trigger.
2.4. Scheduled report generation (daily, weekly, monthly).
