ELD Software is an FMCSA-compliant Electronic Logging Device platform built for trucking and logistics companies. The system pairs a physical ELD hardware device with a cross-platform mobile application, giving drivers and fleet managers a complete digital solution for hours of service tracking, vehicle inspections, and regulatory compliance.
REPLA Technologies delivered this project as the complete end-to-end technology partner, managing every phase from product discovery through post-launch support.
The Problem
Trucking companies face strict federal regulations around driver hours of service. Manual paper logs are error-prone, hard to audit, and don't meet FMCSA's electronic logging mandate. Fleet operators needed a reliable hardware-software solution that connects directly to the vehicle, records duty status automatically, and keeps drivers compliant without friction.
