About HighFleet Softver za upravljanje zvučnicima

HighFleet je web-bazirana softverska platforma za upravljanje sustavima zvučnika povezanih na mrežu. Administratori primjenjuju globalna pravila te također konfiguriraju pojedinačne uređaje s parametrima poput zona, prioriteta, rasporeda i ponašanja upozorenja. Virtualna karta lokacije prikazuje položaj svakog zvučnika, tako da se obavijesti i upozorenja mogu usmjeriti na odabrane zone. Pregled sustava prikazuje status zvučnika, povezanost i upozorenja. Zakazani audio događaji i sustavi zvona podržavaju svakodnevni rad. Prostorni prikaz poboljšava točnost konfiguracije i smanjuje pogreške pri instalaciji.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: HighFleet’s core strength lies in its ability to manage speaker systems at both macro and micro levels. Administrators can apply global policies while also configuring individual devices with precise parameters such as zones, priorities, schedules, and alert behaviors. A key differentiator is its virtual site mapping feature, which visually aligns speakers. This spatial clarity improves configuration accuracy, reduces installation errors, and significantly
alleviates cognitive.
Dimensions & Packaging: HighFleet is a web-based SaaS platform.
Tags: Saas
Production Technology: HighFleet is a web-based SaaS platform optimized for managing network-connected speaker devices. The system relies on secure device communication protocols, real-time status synchronization, and scalable cloud infrastructure. Its modular architecture supports extensibility for different speaker models and configurations while maintaining reliability and low latency for time-sensitive alerts and announcements
Design Challenge: The primary challenge was integrating the needs of multiple stakeholders—administrators, installers, and operators—each with different responsibilities, priorities, and levels of system
access. Speaker management workflows involve complex hierarchies across devices, zones, sites, and tasks. Designing a single interface that could support detailed configuration, rapid action, and long-term system oversight.
Research: Research focused on two primary stakeholders: system administrators and installation professionals managing speaker-based communication systems in schools and large facilities.
Administrators expressed a need for per-device configuration, rapid alert deployment, and clear system status during emergencies. Installers highlighted challenges around spatial accuracy,
configuration errors, and post-installation handoff.
Inspiration: HighFleet was inspired by the operational challenges of managing distributed speaker systems, where the reliability, precision, and speed for both the configuration and maintenance are critical. Existing tools often lack fine-grained device control or spatial context, forcing administrators to rely on fragmented workflows, manual blueprints that lack real-time information. HighFleet reframes speaker management as a fleet-level operation.
Project Duration: Project Duration: 8 months
Location: United States
Operation Flow: Users begin with a system-wide overview displaying speaker status, connectivity, and alerts.

From this view, administrators can select a single speaker or group to adjust detailed configurations, trigger announcements, or diagnose issues. Alerts can be broadcast system-wide or targeted to specific zones through spatial selection on the site map. Scheduled audio events and bell systems further support daily operational workflows.
