Working towards smoothing over their own pain points at Konduskar Travels ultimately led to the birth of Fleetain 2.5 years ago. It is a cloud-based fleet management platform that uses algorithmic intelligence. Previously, the family-owned travels business was plagued by frequent on road breakdowns. When they investigated for the root cause, it was found that the vehicle part maintenance was irregular leading to frequent downtimes. The maintenance schedules were manually documented and somehow were left unattended more often than to the management’s liking.
Abhijeet Konduskar, Founder & CEO shares: “We explored ways to solve our fleet problems and gradually gained a clear picture about how we wanted the solutions to be, and how they can be tested to prove their worthiness over and over again. My wife, Supriya, who is an IT professional has spear-headed this entire initiative and we developed Fleetain as an asset management platform based on deep learning. It is a state-of-the-art solution and I believe it is one of its kind in India as on today. It is an all-in-one ERP solution on the cloud. Today, Fleetain has increased the life span of our vehicles and they average at 16-17 lakh km because we know which critical part needs to be replaced before it wears out.”
Fleetain came into existence solely to make profits for the fleet companies. It was developed in-house from the scratch, and having proved successful on the home turf, the management had a choice to offer it as a solution to help other companies.
