Fleet Management Software - Purchase
History
The Vehicles and Equipment Division (V&E) at Public Works maintains four hundred five (405) vehicles and equipment that require preventative maintenance.

The Village has invested in the Samsara AVL systems, and they have been installed in all of the Public Works vehicles. Fleetio integrates with Samsara and does automatic, real-time meter updates ensuring accurate meter readings. Along with meter updates, Fleetio shows the GPS location of the vehicle and will notify technicians and create a work order if an engine fault occurs. Fleetio will also provide VIN decoding and vehicle recall alerts through the integration with the NHTSA recall notice system.
Fleetio, a GSA contract holder, is cloud-based software with a mobile application and desktop access for an unlimited number of users. With unlimited users, all Village employees that operate a vehicle or equipment, based on defined user roles, will have access to the digital inspection forms and the customizable accident reporti...
