How Shri Rama Roadways Improved Hazardous Material Safety & Compliance with Fleetx VTS

By deploying Fleetx VTS with wired GPS tracking across 450 domestic vehicles (the remaining vehicles slated for the same Fleetx solution), integrating night driving alert systems, and establishing a dedicated on-ground technician presence at the India-Nepal border crossing in Raxaul, Shri Rama Roadways has significantly elevated its safety posture, driver accountability, and operational visibility.

Business Challenge

Hazardous material logistics is among the most regulated and risk-intensive segments of the Indian transport industry.

01

Night-Time Driving Risks

A disproportionate share of accidents and incidents in tanker logistics occur during night hours — when driver fatigue is at its peak and supervisory oversight is at its lowest. Without automated monitoring, unsafe driving behaviour after dark went largely undetected until after incidents occurred.
02

Cross-Border Operational Complexity

Managing vehicle movement, documentation, and coordination at this checkpoint required consistent on-ground expertise — a resource the company could not sustain without dedicated support.
03

Limited Real-Time Fleet Visibility

With no centralised tracking system in place across domestic operations, the company's management relied on transporter check-ins and manual reporting. This reactive approach delayed corrective action and created accountability gaps across the fleet.
Solutions

Fleetx Intervention

Fleetx deployed a structured Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) solution tailored to the unique demands of hazardous material transport across domestic and international corridors.

1
Wired GPS Installation — 450 Domestic Vehicles

Unlike plug-and-play devices, wired GPS units were installed across 450 domestic fleet vehicles, ensuring tamper-resistance and continuous, reliable signal transmission. This established the foundation of a centralised tracking infrastructure for Shri Rama Roadways' Indian operations.

2
Night Driving Alert System

Automated alerts were configured to flag night-time driving activity — a proven risk factor in commercial tanker operations. Alerts are triggered in real-time and compiled into custom exception reports delivered to management the following morning, enabling consistent daily oversight without requiring round-the-clock monitoring.

3
Custom Daily Reports

Structured, operations-ready reports are shared with the management team everyday. These reports summarise night driving instances, vehicle movement summaries, and key exceptions — giving decision-makers a clear picture of the previous day's activity before the next operational cycle begins.


4
Dedicated Technician at Raxaul Border

Recognising the operational complexity of the India-Nepal corridor, Fleetx assigned a dedicated on-ground technician at the Raxaul border crossing. This specialist provides real-time technical support, ensures device uptime, assists with border coordination, and serves as an extension of the company's operational team at one of its most critical transit points.

5
Transport ERP Integration — In Pipeline

The next phase of deployment includes full integration with Shri Rama Roadways' Transport ERP system, enabling seamless data flow between fleet tracking, dispatch management, invoicing, and compliance documentation — eliminating silos and creating a single source of operational truth.

6
VTS Rollout — Remaining 450 Vehicles

The remaining 450 vehicles in the fleet are slated for VTS implementation, which will bring the entire 900-vehicle network under centralised digital monitoring and complete the company's fleet visibility transformation.

Results

Measurable Impact

The Fleetx VTS deployment has delivered tangible operational improvements across safety, visibility, and governance.

Night Driving Oversight — From Invisible to Accountable

With automated night driving alerts and next-morning custom reports, management now has daily visibility into after-hours fleet behaviour. Drivers are aware of monitoring, reinforcing discipline and reducing risk-prone behaviours.

Improved Incident Prevention

Real-time alerts enable prompt corrective action — whether a route deviation, unauthorised stoppage, or unsafe driving speed — before situations escalate, particularly critical given the hazardous nature of cargo being transported.

Raxaul Border Operations Stabilised

The presence of a dedicated Fleetx technician at Raxaul has improved device reliability, reduced downtime, and ensured seamless coordination at a border crossing that is central to the company's cross-border logistics performance.

Management Reporting Cadence Established

Custom morning reports have introduced a structured reporting rhythm into the organisation. Management no longer depends on ad hoc transporter updates — operational data arrives consistently, enabling informed, timely decision-making.
