Fleet management refers to the discipline of tracking, maintaining, and otherwise managing a fleet of vehicles in an organized manner. In most cases, fleet management software is relied upon to accomplish this task.

Fleet management software offers a number of useful features. It can be used to schedule Preventive Maintenance (PM) and inspections, automatically generate fuel, mileage, tire, and trip logs, organize all contact information on drivers, employees, and customers, track all details on each accident / claim / traffic violation, manage parts inventory and automatically generate and print work orders. Enterprise level fleet management software should offer a set of flexible, web-based reporting tools, and in general will be highly customizable to any vehicle environment.
