How small fleets can stay on schedule without a dispatcher

Small logistics and last-mile delivery companies often rely on one person to keep vehicles moving. It is usually an operations manager or even the business owner. The same person tracks routes, answers driver calls and handles customer complaints when deliveries are late.

For fleets of five to twenty-five vehicles, hiring a dispatcher or investing in a complex control system is not realistic. Without one, every delay or off-route stop can disrupt the schedule and reduce profits. These teams need a way to stay in control without adding more people.

Route oversight and alerts in a mobile application

Navixy solves the oversight gap with X-GPS Mobile. The application shows each vehicle’s current location, route status and movement progress directly on a smartphone. The core capability is alerts when a vehicle stops outside an approved area, exceeds the allowed stop time or shows speeding behavior, the manager receives a notification. With this setup, the team can act quickly and reduce the need for phone calls and manual checks.

Preventing losses on long-haul trips: The Mexico City to Tijuana Case

Encontrack, a Navixy partner supporting regional distribution fleets, works with clients operating the nearly 3,000 km corridor from Mexico City to Tijuana. Along this route, drivers are required to stop only in designated secure zones and for limited durations to protect cargo, vehicle condition and driver safety.
If the vehicle stops outside approved locations or exceeds the allowed stop time, the application sends an alert so the manager can call the driver immediately and prevent delay escalation.

Speed control is configured using the same logic. A speeding incident increases the risk of cargo damage due to sudden braking or sharp maneuvering. Domestic cargo on these routes is frequently transported without insurance to keep transportation costs lower, meaning any loss is absorbed directly by the operator.

As noted by Liliana Rangel, Customer Success at Encontrack:
"For small fleets, speeding is not just a violation but a direct financial risk. Penalties and downtime can reach up to 10 percent of monthly revenue."

The fleet manager defines stop zones, allowed stop durations and speed thresholds in the Navixy platform. After that, the team monitors only deviations in X-GPS Mobile, such as leaving the planned geofence or stopping outside approved areas for more than 20 minutes.

Business value for fleet operations

X-GPS Mobile supports route oversight, faster incident response and cargo safety without requiring a dispatcher or complex system implementation. This approach has proven effective for small logistics companies, last-mile delivery fleets, construction contractors working on temporary sites and field service teams.
