Dashboard Overhaul, System Stability, Fleet Module & New Planning Sections

Today was one of those sessions where everything suddenly snaps into place.
A long list of architectural pieces finally connected, and Transolix took a major leap toward becoming a production-ready TMS.

Here’s what we accomplished:


🧭 1. Dashboard Overhaul — Finally “Real Data” Everywhere

The earlier dashboard was more of a placeholder.
Today we rebuilt it completely:

  • Clean and modern layout

  • Organisation card with real database values

  • Driver stats (assigned / unassigned)

  • Vehicle stats (assigned / unassigned)

  • User overview with grouped roles

  • Correct health indicators from the backend

The dashboard now reflects the actual operational state of the system.


🩺 2. HealthService Rebuild — Reliable System Diagnostics

This was one of the biggest pain points before today.

We fixed:

  • Wrong holiday table detection

  • Incorrect JSON parsing

  • Duplicate & bloated logic

  • Wrong variable names

  • Missing license/OSRM logic

And added:

  • Clean separated checks (license, OSRM, holidays, organisation, settings)

  • Safe JSON fallback logic

  • Cached settings for performance

  • Unified output format for the dashboard

The result: the dashboard health section is now fully trustworthy.


⚙️ 3. Organisation Settings System — Fully Implemented

We now support organisation-level planning rules via:

  • A dedicated organisation_settings table

  • JSON-based merged configuration

  • Validation for hours, buffers, limits, break times

  • A solid forOrganisation() + saveForOrganisation() API

  • A polished System Settings interface in the admin panel

This will fuel driver scheduling, routing, and daily tour planning.


📂 4. New Admin Modules Added to the Sidebar

To prepare the internal structure of the TMS, we added:

✔ Fuhrpark (Fleet)

  • List of all vehicles

  • Assigned/unassigned status

  • Clean UI integrated into admin panel

✔ Fahrereinsatzplan (Driver Scheduling)

  • Controller + view scaffold

  • Integrated with organisation settings

  • Ready for shift planning, hours, and workload visualization

✔ Routenplanung (Route Planning)

  • Sidebar entry + controller

  • Placeholder for the OSRM-based map view

  • Foundation for drag-and-drop route design

✔ Hilfe (Help System)

  • Internal documentation pages

  • About page

  • FAQ structure ready

The sidebar now looks like a real commercial TMS.


📅 5. Public Holidays — Fixed for Real

We corrected the model and detection logic.
The system now successfully confirms:

  • Holidays table present

  • 2025–2035 DACH dataset available

  • Ready for scheduling logic (e.g., holiday warnings)


🧱 6. Strong Structural Foundation for What Comes Next

With today’s changes, the next major features now have stable ground:

  • Real driver scheduling (range overlap logic)

  • OSRM map + routing

  • Shipment legs and manual stop insertion

  • Vehicle/driver timeline views

  • Tour planning UI

This was not just UI work — today we solidified the core architecture.


🎯 Summary

Today’s work transformed Transolix into a structured, modular TMS system:

  • Full dashboard rebuild

  • HealthService fully functional

  • Organisation settings implemented

  • Fleet, Scheduling, Route Planning, and Help sections added

  • Holiday system corrected

  • Navigation & UX polished

Transolix is now ready for the big next steps:
map integration, driver scheduling engine, and route planning UI.
