Fleet management software provides organizations that maintain and operate a fleet of vehicles the ability to automate and streamline fleet maintenance and management. It can also provide an organization specific tasks encompass all operations from vehicle acquisition through maintenance to disposal.

The use of fleet software can help ease maintenance and can decrease expenditures and increase productivity. This is very helpful especially to companies that manage fleets of vehicles that often have to deal with a large number of variables and concerns relating to the day-to-day operation of these fleets. Fleet software is really a big help for municipal government agencies, where fleet managers are required to operate following tight federal regulations and often have to make do with a limited budget.

This is especially true for municipal government agencies, where fleet managers are required to operate following tight federal regulations, and often have to make do with a limited budget. Activities such as parts reordering, work order tracking, as well as vehicle utilization and uptime or downtime reporting, among others, can help organizations to fully maximize their fleet's resources.

Mechanical monitoring is a very useful of many popular brands of fleet management solutions as it can provide invaluable knowledge helping to prevent problems rather than repairing them after they've occurred. This can save both time and money, not to mention avoiding possible customer dissatisfaction should an issue arise causing your vehicle to be late or even unavailable.

Fuel management is a critical area for today's fleet operations. Fuel optimization software reduces these decisions to a fraction of a second. Even better, by integrating this software with mobile communications and dispatch systems, planning and executing optimized fuel purchases can become an automated process. Fuel optimization software helps improve driver compliance with a fleet's fuel plan because every dispatch is accompanied by a route as well as the designated fuel stop and volume purchase information.

In addition to such features, other kinds of fleet management software may add extra features aimed at increasing their usability. Such features can include geo-tracking via GPS to allow managers to determine vehicle location at any given time, parts usage and workload to keep active tabs on key information.
