Fleet management software
Summary
Fleet management software (FMS) is computer software that enables people to accomplish a series of specific tasks in the management of any or all aspects relating to a fleet of vehicles operated by a company, government, or other organisation. These specific tasks encompass all operations from vehicle acquisition through maintenance to disposal.
The main function of fleet management software is to accumulate, store, process, monitor, report on and export information. Information can be imported from external sources such as gas pump processors, territorial authorities for managing vehicle registration (for example DVLA and VOSA), financial institutions, insurance databases, vehicle specification databases, mapping systems and from internal sources such as Human Resources and Finance.
Fleet management software should be able to manage processes, tasks and events related to all kinds of vehicles - car, trucks, earth-moving machinery, buses, forklift trucks, trailers and specialist equipment, including:
Vehicle inventory - the number and type of vehicles
Vehicle maintenance - specific routine maintenance and scheduled maintenance, and ad hoc requirements
Licensing, registration, MOT and tax
Vehicle insurance including due dates and restrictions
Cost management and analysis
Vehicle disposal
Driver license management, including special provisions
Logging of penalty points and infringements against a licence
Booking system for pool vehicles
Passenger safety (SOS)
Accidents and fines, plus apportioning costs to drivers
Telematics
Route planning
Logbooks and work time
Alerts
Identification Metrics such as vehicle ID, company ID, location ID, Driver ID
Utilization Metrics such as mileage and fuel data
Behavioral Metrics like average speed and harsh acceleration
Trip Metrics like number of trips, average duration
Maintenance Metrics like maintenance costs and number of diagnostics
Fleet management software can be developed in-house by the company or organisation using it, or be purchased from a third party.
