Enabling Paperless Delivery and ELD Modernization for a Leading Logistics Provider

Overview

A prominent logistics company in the farm-to-market transportation space needed to modernize core parts of its delivery operations. Operating across nearly all 50 states, the organization was preparing to implement a paperless delivery system and a new electronic logging device (ELD) solution.

To support this shift, they needed a rugged mobile platform that could handle barcode scanning, ELD requirements, and nationwide connectivity—without burdening internal teams during deployment.

The Challenge

The client's operations team faced several key challenges as they prepared for this digital transformation:

• Dual-purpose hardware requirement: They needed one device to support both delivery workflows and ELD functionality.
• Hardware deployment and training: New devices had to be rolled out to drivers across the country—along with training on new workflows and applications.
• Application complexity: Their software suite was evolving rapidly, creating difficulty in managing configurations at scale.

In short, they needed more than just hardware—they needed a trusted partner to manage the complexity.

The Solution

AbeTech partnered with the client to deliver a comprehensive, scalable solution:

• Device Selection & Procurement: AbeTech helped the client evaluate and select the Zebra TC58—a rugged, Android-based mobile computer—paired with in-cab charging and mounting solutions for safe, reliable use on the road.
• Carrier Flexibility: Devices were deployed with Advantix SmartSIM for seamless nationwide coverage.
• Lifecycle Management with Abe360: AbeTech handled the entire lifecycle—from staging and provisioning to support and future refreshes—freeing internal IT from managing day-to-day issues.

The Results

🚛 80+ trucks were equipped with Zebra TC58s to support the paperless delivery and ELD system.

📉 The new system is expected to save multiple labor hours per driver per day by eliminating manual paperwork and digitizing delivery workflows.
