Fleet Management

An FMS, or fleet management system, is a combination of hardware and software needed for a business to dispatch and track its fleet of commercial vehicles. Core features include route planning, fuel management and analytics in a centralized dashboard. The best systems include HOS logs for ELD Mandate compliance, a mobile app, and integration with dash cams or other software such as field service management software. With a top-notch FMS a fleet operator can streamline their operations significantly, and it will more than likely pay for itself.
