Fleet tracking software leverages GPS technology to monitor the activity, vehicles, and drivers involved in transportation. Fleet tracking software is used by fleet managers to effectively track their fleets in real time and collect data on the performance of their vehicles and drivers. Although fleet tracking is often a component of fleet management software, the products listed in this category serve the specific function of using GPS and telematics to track vehicles and do not provide most of the additional back-office functionality of fleet management software.
Fleet tracking software can be implemented alongside other distribution management software such as fleet maintenance software, transportation management softeware, and route planning software.
To qualify for inclusion in the Fleet Tracking category, a product must:
Provide users with GPS technology to actively track vehicles and drivers
Provide reports on fuel usage, and labor expenses associated with fleets
Deliver in-software communication for fleet managers and drivers
Monitor driver performance and violations such as speeding
Calculate estimated time of arrival (ETA) for shipments
