Published purpose

Firestitch has developed a disruptive software solution for the Canadian Truck Driving School industry. The SaaS platform solves critical issues related to managing student drivers and a fleet of trucks, including real-time monitoring, logistics, road regulations, safety policies, and extensive tracking procedures. We released the first version in May 2021. During the App development, we discovered that truck driver training schools had specific geospatial and mapping needs in addition to scheduling issues. The new App unifies and automates scheduling, communication, tracking, and reporting operations. This digital transformation removes over 50% of the manual entry and 90% of the duplication currently required by the process stakeholder
