What kind of technologies are you using and how is it helping?
MTAP Technologies is an early adopter of various technology stacks and uses a wide range of technologies to enhance its software solutions. The company believes in failing fast to bring innovation as a core value and has created its own frameworks for rapid application development and cross-cutting concerns.
MTAP’s technology stacks are un-opinionated, which gives the company better control, performance, and flexibility to extend its solutions. We have also developed cloud-agnostic solutions that can be deployed as both monolithic or microservices based on configuration changes only.
We use Micro Frontend Architecture to build flexible applications that can be developed quickly and easily reused. Further, usage of Automation Testing helps us in catching early defects on all possible combinations of devices and browsers. All products go through stringent VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) as part of the CI/CD Pipelines. We ensure using A/B testing, green and blue deployment strategies when rolling out new versions of products.
By leveraging various technologies, MTAP’s SaaS solutions streamline fleet management operations along with ensuring complete fleet visibility, enhanced customer satisfaction and safety, seamless and cost-efficient operations, and hassle-free commuting.
Can you tell us about your flagship products and how they increase efficiency and sustainability?
Our company is a prominent player in the Fleet management industry, and we take pride in our three flagship products: Safetrax, SafeBus, and Autologix. These products offer comprehensive solutions to meet a wide range of Fleet Management needs. Our journey began in 2014 when we introduced the first version of Safetrax, which stands as our flagship ETS (Employee Transportation System). Since then, we have made significant progress in terms of enhancing its features and ensuring seamless integration with various third-party and in-house solutions.
The Fleet Automation sector has historically been disorganized and lacking technological sophistication. Drawing from our wealth of experience and valuable customer feedback, we have developed numerous tools and technologies to streamline workflows and eliminate manual tasks. Simultaneously, our products are designed to be highly customizable, allowing us to create tailored solutions for each client. This commitment to customization is our unique selling proposition (USP).
By leveraging the latest technological advancements, we have significantly enhanced the efficiency of transportation systems while simultaneously promoting sustainability. Through our partnerships with electric vehicle (EV) fleet vendors, we have access to cutting-edge technology that enables us to monitor and optimize vehicle performance, leading to reduced energy consumption and emissions. Furthermore, our data-driven approach empowers us to analyze transportation patterns, identify optimization opportunities, and further minimize the carbon footprint.
With our flagship products, we not only provide efficient fleet management solutions but also contribute to creating a greener and more sustainable future.
How has MTAP Technologies grown over the years, and what are its future plans for expansion?
MTAP Technologies has experienced significant growth over the years, transitioning from a small team of 10-12 individuals to nearly 100 employees at present.
