CONTEXT

chaos in operations

Bluestar operates a dispatcher-led fleet system for high-volume, pre-scheduled transport.

AT THE TIME

Most of Bluestar’s workflow - from trip booking to dispatch, driver assignment, and payment reconciliation was manual and fragmented.


Leading to inefficiencies, delays, and limited visibility into operations.

PERSONA IN FOCUS

operators. the nervous system of the fleet

  • 60–80 vehicles per operator

  • ~80% of operations were manual

  • ~35% of effort spent reconciling data

BOOKINGS

DISPATCH

PAYMENTS $ BILLINGS

MAINTANENCE

FLEET LOG AND TRACKING

Often out of sync data

Required manual coordination between teams.

Reconciled not in real time - errors compounded

PROBLEM: Operations were breaking WITH scale.

RESEARCH

understanding the problem in the current scenario

Before delving deeper into the research, it was essential to first understand the ecosystem of the operations

POST DELIVERY FINDINGS

key business metrics did not improve

fragmented → unified

WHAT WENT WELL

Manual operations → Almost half.

Booking conflicts reduced from 12–15% → ~4–6%

WHAT DID NOT GO WELL

Fleet utilization percentage did not improve


APPROACH

design process

01

booking created

A job request is logged in the platform replacing manual calls and spreadsheet entries.

02

driver and vehicle assigned

The duty gets assigned to an available driver automatically- they get an update on the driver centric PWA

03

duty executed

Booking level and duty level status for the operator and a reliable system

No real-time, reliable visibility

incorrect next assignments | cascading delays

04

billing triggered

On duty completion, an invoice is

generated automatically — no manual

data entry, no delays.
