This research was aimed to develop tools to monitor trucks as FFB transport equipment, due to there are some deviations in the field. The Development of the application using the method: business process analysis, system analysis, system design, and implementation and functional test. The application software run as an Android-based application, as a map-based application, and using location-based service. The system also runs as a web-based application and has been tested on FFB logistic system in private plantation company. It monitored the truck route and FFB loading and transporting activities in the field, as well as gave instruction to the truck driver in order to avoid the heavy queue in an oil palm mill.
