Every vehicle, visible and on schedule

Live GPS tracking, smarter routes, and maintenance that happens before breakdowns — one dashboard for the whole fleet.

Vehicles are assets that hide their own condition

A fleet is a large amount of capital that spends its working life out of sight. You know what each vehicle cost and what it earns; what you generally do not know in real time is where it is, how it is being driven, what it is burning, and how close it is to the failure that will take it off the road during your busiest week.

Breakdowns are where that opacity gets expensive, and rarely because of the repair bill. The cost is the delivery not made, the customer told to wait, the driver stranded, and the replacement vehicle pulled off another route. Nearly all of it is avoidable, because most failures announce themselves in service intervals and usage data long before they happen — the information exists and simply is not being watched.

This puts the fleet on one dashboard: live GPS position, route planning that redraws around traffic, driver behaviour monitoring, fuel consumption reporting, geofencing with alerts, and full trip and stop history. Preventive maintenance is scheduled from actual usage rather than from a calendar, so a service is triggered by how the vehicle has been driven rather than by the date.

Driver behaviour data deserves an honest note: it is genuinely useful for fuel cost and safety, and it is also surveillance of your staff. Fleets that introduce it as a coaching tool with the data shared openly get a different outcome from fleets that introduce it quietly as a monitoring tool, and the difference shows up in retention. It pairs with Fuel Automation where you run your own pumps.

What changes

The day-to-day, before and after Fleet Management

Three frictions this replaces — described in the terms you'd recognise from your own week.

Today

Nobody knows where a van is until it arrives

With Fleet Management

Every vehicle sits on one live map with speed, stops, and route history you can replay.

Today

Breakdowns discovered on the road, mid-delivery

With Fleet Management

Service schedules run on mileage and engine hours, so vehicles get flagged for maintenance before they fail.

Today

Fuel spend questioned every month with no evidence

With Fleet Management

Fuel consumption and idle time are reported per vehicle and per driver, so the numbers have names attached.

In practice

Where it earns its keep

Every vehicle stays live on the map, routes redraw around traffic, and maintenance alerts arrive before a failure does rather than after it.

What it does

Inside Fleet Management

Live GPS tracking

Every vehicle on one map with speed, stops, and route history.

Route optimization

Smarter routes that cut miles, fuel, and late deliveries.

Fuel & usage insight

Fuel consumption and idle time per vehicle and per driver.

Maintenance alerts

Service schedules by mileage and engine hours — before breakdowns.

Built for

Who's in it every day

The three seats Fleet Management is designed around.

Dispatcher

Opens the live map to see where every vehicle is, reroute around traffic, and answer "where is it?" without calling drivers.

Maintenance manager

Works the service queue — which vehicles are due by mileage or engine hours, and which alerts need a workshop slot.

Operations director

Reviews fuel consumption, idle time, and driver behavior across the fleet to see where cost and risk are concentrated.

Getting started

How we get you live

  1. Fit the vehicles

    GPS trackers go into every vehicle in the fleet and start reporting position, speed, and stop data.

  2. Map your ground

    We load your depots, delivery zones, and geofences so the live map reflects how your operation actually runs.

  3. Routes and services

    Route plans go in alongside maintenance schedules keyed to mileage and engine hours for each vehicle class.

  4. Dispatch goes live

    Your dispatchers work from the live map and alert feed, with trip and stop history available from day one.

FAQ

Fleet Management, answered

The questions we get asked before a demo.

Not seeing your question?

Tell us how you run today and we'll answer specifically.

Yes. Live GPS tracking needs a tracker reporting from each vehicle, so anything you want on the map has to be fitted. Vehicles already carrying a telematics unit can usually feed the same data. Anything without a device stays invisible to the map, trip history, and geofence alerts.
