Metavystic

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Founder & CEO of Yard Dog Systems

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Yard Dog is a SaaS-based technology company serving waste hauling organizations. Its platform restores operational accountability by providing visibility into drivers who operate unobserved throughout the service day. The system delivers detailed analytics and reporting, creating transparency across daily service stops.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Metavystic to accomplish?

• Develop a real-time fleet management SaaS with GPS tracking, geofencing, route optimization, and PostGIS-powered analytics for waste management and logistics operations
• Automate yard check-in/check-out for trailers and equipment using geofencing triggers, reducing manual logging and improving asset visibility across multiple yard locations.
• Integrate predictive maintenance alerts and driver behavior analytics to reduce vehicle downtime, lower fuel costs, and improve overall fleet operational efficiency.
• Build a scalable AWS microservices backend with real-time PostGIS queries to handle high-frequency GPS data from hundreds of simultaneous vehicles without performance degradation.
• Design a multi-tenant SaaS platform allowing multiple logistics companies to onboard independently, with isolated data, custom branding, and role-based access controls.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Yard Dog development has focused on several core deliverables designed to provide operational visibility and actionable intelligence for waste hauling organizations.

At the foundation is GPS integration, including the development of reliable data ingestion pipelines and configurable GPS selection processes. This ensures accurate tracking of vehicle movements regardless of telemetry source, while allowing flexibility in how data is filtered and applied.

On top of this data layer, Yard Dog has developed visual interfaces and user experience components that clearly illustrate vehicle activity. These interfaces enable users to see route movements, service confirmations, and missed locations in a spatial context, making complex operational data immediately understandable.

Additionally, the platform includes a comprehensive analytics engine that transforms raw telemetry and service data into structured, usable reporting. This engine ties directly into operational workflows, delivering actionable insights that support performance monitoring, exception handling, and accountability across hauling operations.

Together, these deliverables create a system that moves beyond simple tracking, providing a complete framework for visibility, analysis, and decision-making.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

System handled high-frequency concurrent GPS events from hundreds of vehicles without latency issues, confirming the AWS microservices and PostGIS stack met enterprise performance benchmarks.

Reduced manual yard check-in time by over 70% through automated geofence-triggered asset logging, allowing yard staff to manage more trailers with fewer errors and less administrative overhead.

Real-time GPS tracking achieved sub-30-second location refresh across the entire active fleet, giving dispatchers accurate visibility to optimize routing and reduce idle time.

Platform successfully onboarded multiple logistics clients as separate tenants with zero data crossover, validating the multi-tenant architecture for commercial SaaS scaling.

Predictive maintenance alerts helped clients reduce unplanned vehicle downtime, with early fault detection flagging issues before breakdown and cutting emergency repair costs.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The collaboration with Metavystic, produced several measurable outcomes that demonstrate clear progress and operational value.

1. Improved Data Accuracy
Initial customer location and service boundary data contained significant inaccuracies, with error rates estimated near 30%. Through iterative refinement, validation processes, and ongoing adjustments, this was reduced to under 8%, materially improving the reliability of service verification.

2. Increased Service Visibility
Prior to implementation, there was limited visibility into daily field operations. The integration of GPS telemetry and visual mapping interfaces resulted in near real-time tracking of vehicle movements, enabling supervisors to verify completed routes and identify missed stops with precision.

3. Reduction in Missed Service Uncertainty
The system introduced clear identification of missed pickups by correlating GPS activity with defined service areas. This reduced ambiguity in customer complaints and allowed teams to quickly confirm whether a location was serviced or missed.

4. Operational Efficiency Gains
By automating the comparison between planned routes and actual service activity, the platform reduced the need for manual review and investigation. Supervisors were able to focus on exceptions rather than reviewing entire routes, improving daily workflow efficiency.

5. Actionable Reporting and Decision Support
The analytics engine delivered structured reports that translated raw telemetry into usable insights. This enabled data-driven decisions around route performance, driver accountability, and operational adjustments.

6. Faster Issue Identification and Response
With improved visibility and reporting, issues such as missed stops, route deviations, or telemetry gaps could be identified within the same service day, rather than after-the-fact, allowing for quicker corrective action.
