I was a developer at a startup that specialized in creating some cool fleet management software for the trucking industry, as well as some way-ahead-of-its-time mobile technology (WAP).
I personally believe that if this company re-booted and started up again today, it would rock.
- robflynn 16y agoAh, the old "ahead-of-its-time" thing. I feel like the company that I worked for was there as well. I felt like some folks just didn't "get" what it was we were working on. I almost feel that if we were doing the same thing just a couple years later or if that acquisition offer hadn't gone south that things would have turned out much differently. Who knows, maybe we just marketed things incorrectly. It was, however, one of the most fun times of my life. I do not regret it at all.
- DevX101 16y agoI don't anything about that industry but I would assume that the trucking industry already has pretty advanced fleet tracking & management, do they not? If I'm a Walmart or a Best Buy I'd make it a priority to know exactly where all my trucks are at all times.
- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoNeither do I, but I wouldn't assume that either. What about all the small fleet truckers that you never hear about? Everyone needs software, but not everyone needs Enterprise Level Software.
