Quick answer
A fleet management system is GPS tracking with a business layer on top. Every vehicle carries a tracker; the platform shows them all on one map and turns the data into reports: trips, stops, idle time, over-speeding, harsh driving, fuel and maintenance. Managers use it to answer customer questions, cut unauthorised use, plan routes and keep vehicles serviced on time.

03Choosing a fleet system
- Which reports do you actually need each week?
- How many users need access, and with what permissions?
- Do you need driver identification (tags) to know who was driving?
- Is fuel monitoring worth adding? See fuel monitoring for fleets
- Can data be exported for payroll, billing or accounts?
When to call a professionalStart with a pilot on a few vehicles, confirm the reports are useful, then roll out to the full fleet. Talk to Qyvea about fleet tracking.
04Frequently asked questions
How many vehicles do I need for a fleet system?
Fleet platforms work from a single vehicle upward. The reporting pays off most once you're managing several vehicles or drivers.
Can I see which driver was using a vehicle?
Yes, with driver identification such as a tag or card each driver presents before the trip.
Can drivers switch the tracker off?
A properly installed tracker is hidden and wired so it can't simply be switched off, and it sends an alert if its power is cut.
