Fleet managers need to keep track of a thousand different details: Working hours, driving time, which equipment is in use and when. Which equipment is in working order? How old is each piece? When do warrantees expire? How is the team tracking on fleet maintenance schedules? What items are likely to need replacement in the near future? That extensive list doesn’t even get into fuel management and driver dispatching and messaging.
Five popular fleet management software options help fleet managers stay on top of all of these details, so they can be confident they’re getting the most value as possible from their fleet. These five were identified as the top software by estimated customer base in a 2014 survey by Capterra. Here’s an overview of each to help you decide if one of these solutions is right for your fleet.
