The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
This diploma thesis deals with the development of an information system for managing the company vehicle fleet of a selected company. Its aim was to analyse the existing way of managing vehicles, identify the problems and needs of fleet managers and, on that basis, design, build and evaluate a functional prototype.
The research was carried out as a qualitative case study with semi-structured interviews. It showed that the two fleet managers kept data in several places – computer records, paper documentation, e-mail and other sources – which made it hard to find information, track tasks and monitor important deadlines.
System requirements, UML diagrams, a data model and wireframes were prepared, with an emphasis on centralised data, vehicle history and support for planning everyday tasks. Development was iterative, with automated tests and manual reviews. Both fleet managers completed all user tasks in the evaluation and rated the prototype positively, highlighting the vehicle overview, search and reminders. The results show that a centralised solution improves transparency and user experience; its effect on errors and time savings should be verified through longer use in a real environment.
