Fleet management software
- Fleet management software
Fleet management software 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.
It functions as a complex information system. A main function of fleet management software is to gather, store, process, monitor, report on and export information. Information can be imported from external sources such as gas pump processors, the DVLA, CAP, HM Revenue and Customs, VOSA, Transport for London and the Motor Insurance Database and from internal sources such as Human Resources and Finance. Fleet management software should be able to manage processes, tasks and events, for example notification of routine maintenance, scheduled maintenance, MOT, tax and insurance due dates and driver licence management.
Fleet management software can be developed in-house by the company or organisation using it, or be purchased from a third party. It varies greatly in its complexity and cost.
Fleet management software is directly related to fleet management. It originated on mainframe computers in the 1970s and shifted to the personal computers in the 1980s when it became practical. Fleet management software has become increasingly necessary and complex as increasing amounts of vehicle related legislation has been brought in.
