Best fleet management software in 2024

Motive is a comprehensive tool that really checks all the boxes of what you need in a fleet management tool, allowing for faster, smoother operations overall. What we really love is the way this provider leverages cutting-edge tech, including artificial intelligence (AI), to save you and your drivers time.

Take something like electronic logging device (ELD) compliance. Under U.S. law, interstate commercial motor vehicle drivers must record the hours they drive to avoid exceeding legal maximum driving times. Motive simplifies ELD compliance with its driver app, which displays countdown clocks to limit drive time and provides pre-violation alerts. Drivers can also easily log their hours with the tool.

The app can help fleet managers save time, too, for example, with trip assignments generated by AI. AI models can automatically assign unidentified trips to the right driver using dashcam images, saving you the time and trouble. The same AI-powered dashcam can also promote safety, for example by reminding drivers to watch the road if the camera detects them looking down.

Motive has a huge selection of features designed to streamline pretty much every aspect of fleet management, from compliance to route assignment. From the user-friendly app to the AI-powered driver safety features, the tech isn’t just for show; it actually has useful purposes. We were also impressed by Motive’s responsive customer service and overall solid reputation. We just wish there was at least a pricing example (like a case study) posted online.

Value 

Motive doesn’t post pricing on its website and instead asks customers to contact sales for a quote. More transparent pricing would be nice. That said, we have to admit that Motive’s broad range of features and use of cutting-edge tech like AI makes it a great value add for fleet managers.

The user-friendly tool lets you manage all aspects of fleet operations in one place, from vehicle maintenance to tracking and telematics, driver safety and spend management. Also, Motive does offer a free demo, which in our view helps make up for the lack of initial pricing transparency. You can at least get a feel for the product before investing.

Functionality 

It’s hard to know where to start with Motive’s functionality, because this tool has so much to offer. The driver safety tools help keep your workers safe while also providing the documentation needed to prove compliance. The tracking and telematics features ensure you know where your vehicles are at all times which can help cut down on “check-in” calls or texts between drivers and fleet managers.

Motive also covers essentials like dispatch management (assigning drivers routes) and fleet maintenance. It even can help improve your carbon footprint and save you money on gas with AI-powered fleet fuel management. In short, whatever you’re looking for in a fleet management tool, odds are good Motive has it.

Support 

Having all the bells and whistles in a fleet management tool is one thing. But what happens if you experience technical issues or general questions? Motive doesn’t leave its customers hanging. The customer support team is available 24/7 by email and phone. There is also an automated chatbot available for more general issues.

We gave the customer support number a call and were pleasantly surprised to find that we were quickly connected with a live customer support agent (after a couple quick prompts). This was outside of regular business hours, at about 4 a.m. ET.

Let’s get real, keeping your drivers motivated isn’t always the easiest task. Azuga offers some rewards and gamification perks to help you both protect and encourage your team. The company actually touts its founding principle as being “Go from Gotcha to Attaboy” with a top driver rewards program.

Fleet managers or business owners can set a budget and timeline for allocating rewards. Azuga then does the reporting (for example, assessing driver safety based on details like traffic incidents) so you can be sure that you’re rewarding your team objectively.

When it’s time to reward drivers, you can approve the winner. Azuga then issues the reward in the form of a gift card to drivers’ favorite shops, activities or restaurants.

This focus on rewards helps to get rid of some of the tension that can inevitably form in driver-manager relationships. Modern tools like dashcams and GPS can make drivers feel like they’re always under the microscope. If you want to improve driver relationships, give Azuga a look.

Azuga wins points for its clear and reasonable pricing and its readily available customer service. In terms of features, it stands out for its focus on driver safety and satisfaction. While the functionality is comprehensive overall, make sure to verify exactly what you’re getting with the tier of plan you sign up for. The information is readily available on the pricing page and just requires a quick glance at the fine print.

Value 

Azuga offers clearly tiered, per-vehicle pricing on its website, with the lowest-tier plan starting at $25 per vehicle per month. Given the breadth and depth of Azuga’s features, especially when it comes to keeping drivers satisfied, we think it’s a solid value. That said, make sure to read the fine print when signing up for a plan, as some features are available only for advanced plans.

For example, safety features like a distracted driving alert and tire pressure monitoring aren’t available for the base plan. We aren’t saying that’s an issue (you get what you pay for) but it’s something to be aware of as you shop around. A free demo is available.

Functionality 

Azuga’s features go well beyond driver rewards and gamification. You’ve got all the fleet management essentials in this tool, from fleet tracking to ELD compliance and vehicle maintenance monitoring. We want to focus in particular on the way the tool can help keep your drivers happy and safe.

Beyond the rewards program, Azuga makes drivers’ lives easier with driver risk profiles and safety scorecards. The Azuga app also makes it easier for drivers to log their shifts and to tag trips, for example differentiating between personal versus work trips. Finally, Azuga Coach provides safety training videos to help your team stay safe on the road.

Support 

Azuga’s customer support options are clearly posted on the provider’s website, including an email address and phone number. There is also an online support form you can fill out. The company also offers 24/7 support. When we called the customer support number, we were able to reach a customer support agent after only a few brief automated prompts.

In an age where customer service is often relegated to bots, it’s a refreshing change of pace to reach a real person. That said, we did notice a few complaints about the customer service online. We also saw some reviews praising the customer service! Our guess is the quality of service may depend on how complex your issue is.

Fleet safety is a major concern for all involved. First and foremost, you want to make sure your drivers are safe by minimizing the risk of traffic incidents. Beyond that, accidents can also cause delays and inventory loss, potentially leading to dissatisfied customers. Safety incidents can also impact business costs, for example by driving up insurance costs.

Linxup offers a diversity of features designed to help improve your fleet’s well-being. Let’s start with the GPS tracking tool. It doesn’t just indicate where a vehicle is but also monitors vehicle speeds and driver behavior. The data the GPS collects can further be used to create driver safety scorecards so you can help drivers identify risky behaviors for future improvement.

There is also the optional add-on of an AI-powered dash cam. It provides alerts for dangerous behind-the-wheel behaviors, like cell phone use and tailgating. It also has seat belt detection and can remind drivers to buckle up if they forget. After a long day behind the wheel, these kinds of reminders can be welcome.

Linxup offers straightforward GPS tracking and a dash cam add-on that can be invaluable in improving driver behaviors behind the wheel. In addition to safety-conscious features, Linxup covers other essentials like ELD compliance.

Overall, the features are less diverse than those offered by some competitors. Plus, some cost extra. And while the company proudly touts its U.S.-based customer service, that service isn’t available 24/7.

Value 

Linxup says its GPS tracking is available starting at $25 per month. The provider also notes that there is special volume pricing available. Presumably, the larger your fleet, the less you’ll pay per vehicle/device. The price seems OK.

That said, Linxup is very focused on two things: GPS and the dash cam add-on (which costs extra). Some features that are included by competitors, like mileage tracking and asset monitoring, are only available for an additional cost with Linxup.

If GPS is your priority, it may be worth it. If you’re looking for more comprehensive fleet management, maybe not. One troubling point: We could not find any indication that a free demo is available, although this may be something sales can arrange upon request.

Functionality 

Compared to some of its competitors, Linxup’s feature set isn’t quite as comprehensive. The GPS tracking helps to satisfy ELD compliance requirements and, coupled with the dash cam add-on, can enhance driver safety, for example by generating driver performance reports.

That said, features like fuel-tax reporting cost extra ($12 per month). Fuel tax reporting is a big deal if you’re required to provide International Fuel Tax Agreement reporting to the Department of Transportation (DOT). Linxup also lacks some of the basic cost reporting features we found with other providers, making it less suitable for optimizing fleet management overall.

Support 

Linxup advertises its U.S.-based customer support widely. For some consumers, having “local” support may be considered an asset. We aren’t sure it’s a huge advantage, especially given that it results in limited customer service hours: Linxup has representatives available from Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST.

Compared to the 24/7 service of some competitors, it’s not ideal. After all, if you have a large fleet, you may have drivers on the road at all hours. That said, when we called the customer support line during the posted hours, we were able to read someone. If you need after-hours support, there’s an online help form to complete. The company then gets back to you during normal business hours.

For some businesses like long-haul trucking companies, fleet management is a year-round concern. However, seasonal businesses may only need this kind of tech temporarily. If you offer holiday deliveries in December, for example, what will you do with a fleet management tool come July? You don’t want to pay an annual fee or get locked into a long-term contract for a tool you won’t use.

Rhino Fleet Tracking is here to help. This provider offers seasonal plans so you can track your team only when you actually need to. This helps you save money during the off-season. Generally, all of the provider’s plans are month-to-month and don’t require a long-term commitment.

Additionally, Rhino’s unique trailer and asset tracking tools may be useful for certain seasonal businesses. For example, a boat rental company can benefit from trailer tracking. More generally, the diversity of tracking tools is nice, including vehicle-tracking plug-ins, wired vehicle trackers and battery-powered equipment trackers.

Rhino Fleet Tracking offers excellent GPS features, including a variety of both wired and battery-powered GPS devices. The focus is largely on GPS, however, with less attention given to other functions covered by competitors, like driver safety reporting. We aren’t totally sold on the value for money in this case. That said, Rhino really shined when it came to its customer service.

Value 

Rhino boasts that its prices start as low as $21.95 per month, which seems reasonable. That said, if you want to get more detailed pricing, you’ll have to request a quote based on details like the size of your fleet. Special rates are available for larger fleets.

With its monthly contracts, Rhino can undoubtedly be a value add for a seasonal business owner who doesn’t want a long-term contract. However, it lacks some of the features included in competing plans, such as safety reporting. If you’re running a full-fledged delivery, logistics or trucking business, we think you’ll be better off with more comprehensive alternatives. The good news: There is a free demo.

Functionality 

We were not blown away by Rhino Fleet Tracking’s features. The primary focus seems to be GPS tracking and dash cams (note that the dash cams cost extra). If you want vehicle diagnostics, which is included by some key competitors, you’ll have to pay extra. We also couldn’t find features like tire pressure monitoring or toll support.

Finally, driver safety reporting is lacking as well. In short, if you just want some basic GPS tracking, Rhino will do the trick, and you will have a fantastic array of GPS device types to choose from. We’re not sure we’d recommend it for all-round fleet management.

One additional fun perk? You can sync Rhino with Amazon Alexa to track your fleet via voice.

Support 

Rhino Fleet Tracking offers local, U.S.-based customer support at all hours. The company website makes a big show of claiming that you will be answered by a real live person whenever you call, so we put it to the test.

You do first have to go through a couple automated prompts, for example asking whether you need sales or support. However, it doesn’t take long until you’re connected to an actual human (and we did try this outside of regular business hours). On top of phone support, the company also provides email and chat support.

Different industries have different fleet management needs. If you’re running a food delivery service, you’re probably not going to look for the same things as if you were managing a construction site full of million-dollar vehicles. Samsara’s comprehensive features can be tailored to diverse fields, so you get exactly what you need out of your fleet management tool.

For example, for food delivery, you can ensure product quality with temperature monitoring. For construction, asset tracking can be cloud connected to security cameras for maximum security. For utilities providers, rapid outage response is a must. Samsara even caters to highly specific environments like school buses. Other areas covered include passenger transit, higher education and field services.

We love to see the careful attention to detail Samsara gives these diverse industries. Of course, Samsara also offers essential services for logistics and transport companies, which are the most common target audience for fleet management software.

Samsara’s industry-specific offering makes this provider stand out from the crowd. That said, as an enterprise solution that only offers individually tailored products, odds are that it’s going to be on the pricier side. Without readily available cost details, it’s hard to get a good sense of the value for money. We also found the customer support offering was less transparent than some providers’.

Value 

Given how specifically Samsara tailors its offering to industry and individual needs, it comes as no big surprise that you’ll have to request a quote for pricing information. As we’ve said with other providers who only offer pricing on a quote-by-quote basis, we’d still love to see a pricing example or case study to at least give consumers some idea of what costs can look like.

Samsara does offer a solid feature set and industry-oriented plans, so it may be especially valuable for niche needs. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any indication that Samsara offers a demo.

Functionality 

Samsara has a lot for fleet managers to love, including GPS tracking, remote vehicle diagnostics, ELD compliance features, IFTA reporting and fleet security perks. One outstanding feature worth highlighting is the ability to create reports oriented toward customers. You can calculate time spent on a worksite (like a construction site) to improve billing transparency, for example.

The driver app is also a big plus thanks to its holistic approach. It covers everything from routing and dispatch to driver safety. Having a single platform like an app connecting drivers and managers can reduce communication back and forth and cut down on paperwork.

Support 

We have to admit, we were disappointed by Samsara’s customer service. When you go to the customer support page, you’re simply asked to sign into your account to fill out a support ticket. Without an account, we couldn’t test out how quickly that ticket might get resolved.

Compared to competitors that posted readily available contact phone numbers online (and even picked up the phone), this level of support seemed subpar. However, Samsara does promise 24/7 customer service. It may be that once you’ve logged into your account, more concrete contact information is available. There is also plenty of support material, including training webinars and videos, online.

If you don’t consider yourself technologically adept, you might be stressing about how you’ll manage fleet management software. IntelliShift may be able to alleviate some of those concerns. The company emphasizes its intuitive dashboard and personally tailored customer success plans.

IntelliShift also boasts “white-glove onboarding,” with dedicated experts available to help you seamlessly adopt the software. These pros can help with defining your business goals, installing the technology and process integration. Role-based training is likewise available, so whether you’re a fleet manager or a general business owner, you get the knowledge you need to comfortably work with the tool.

All IntelliShift operations are U.S.-based, so you don’t have to deal with offshoring of resources and can easily reach native English-speaking support. Finally, there is 24/7 support, so you can be sure there’s somebody to help when you need it. While you need an account to access support options, we did a deep dive into online reviews and noticed a lot of reviewers praising the support, so the 24/7 guarantee seems promising.

IntelliShift’s far-reaching features and excellent integrations mean it delivers a solid bang for your buck — in theory. Without exact pricing information available online, it’s hard to say. You can have a package tailored to your unique needs, which means you’ll probably only have to pay for features you actually need, which is a plus.

The 36-month minimum contract term could be a drawback for some, though.

Value 

IntelliShift’s pricing isn’t clearly displayed on the website, making it difficult to judge the value for money it offers. You’re asked to contact the company for a discovery call to get a cost estimate. The product does seem to cover the essentials we’d expect in a fleet management tool, from EDL compliance to GPS tracking.

It’s also possible to add features to your tailor-made solution so you can scale up as needed. One possible problem we noticed was that contracts range from 36 to 60 months. A 36-month contract is a pretty big commitment! However, demos are available, so you can try out the tech for yourself to see if it’s worth it.

Functionality 

IntelliShift hits all the highlights in terms of fleet management features. The telematics features allow you to maintain oversight of vehicles and assets, while ELD compliance makes tracking driver hours easy. You can also use the fuel management capability to monitor fuel costs (and hopefully cut them). Having all of this organized in one intuitive dashboard makes it easier to control your day-to-day fleet operations.

Finally, IntelliShift offers a lot of useful partner integrations, covering points like fleet maintenance, construction management and safety and compliance. Bringing all of this together under one umbrella simplifies daily management.

Support 

Here’s the good news: IntelliShift promises U.S.-based customer success and technical support 24/7. Here’s the bad news: when we tried to test out the customer support for ourselves, we had trouble finding contact information. We found a contact page with a “contact support” button, but when we clicked it, we were simply taken to a customer login portal.

That said, we scoped out what real-world users had to say about the company’s customer support, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The company also has online resources covering both technical aspects and fleet management topics as a whole, including videos, a blog and a podcast.

Your vehicle fleet is valuable. You want to do all you can to safeguard it. AUTOsist offers some nice features to support maintenance that can help you do just that. You can keep track of everything from maintenance appointments to inspections.

Set reminders for maintenance either manually, by entering a date, or based on data collected from the odometer. The notifications can be received by email or a push notification from the AUTOsist app.

The parts inventory tool is another useful feature, especially for larger fleets. You probably want to keep some spare parts for your vehicles on hand. This function lets you keep track of inventory and get notified when stock is running low.

Finally, we also like that you can attach receipts, which helps minimize clutter in your office and simplifies business expense tracking (making life a lot easier when you do your quarterly bookkeeping or annual tax filing).

AUTOsist stands out from the crowd with its impressive vehicle maintenance features. Beyond that, this tool offers a lot of core functions you’d expect from a fleet management software — but often through integrations only.

Overall, the pricing for the regular maintenance package seems fair but once you add GPS functionality, you’re paying more than four times as much. The customer service is accessible but not 24/7.

Value 

AUTOsist’s automated reminders can be a valuable tool for keeping track of your fleet maintenance needs. It’s not just about big-picture maintenance and inspections. You can ask drivers to review a customized digital checklist at the end of every shift, for example, to help hold them accountable for vehicle wellbeing. Once a checklist is updated, you’ll be notified through the app or web platform.

With prices starting as low as $6 per asset per month for the basic maintenance package, we also think the cost is fair. Note that if you want to add GPS, the cost jumps to $30 per asset per month. We suggest scheduling a demo (free) to see if it’s worth it before committing.

Functionality 

AUTOsist’s features emphasize preventive fleet maintenance, allowing you to set automated reminders for everything from oil changes to inspections. You can maintain your inspection records digitally, which can also help simplify compliance requirements. You can also create customized checklists for each asset, be it a trailer, vehicle or other equipment, to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

AUTOsist includes other fleet monitoring essentials as well, like GPS tracking, so you always know where an asset is. The engine code alerts inform you immediately if there’s trouble, while real-time odometer updates mean you get regular mileage information. There are also add-ons that go beyond maintenance, like fuel card integration and safety dash cameras.

Support 

We saw a few reviews praising AUTOsist’s customer support, so we were curious to give it a try ourselves. We were able to find a readily available phone number on the website as well as an email address. When we called, we were eventually transferred to a human operator. Although support is available seven days per week, it’s only available from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. PST. In addition to email and phone support, there is also a live chat option.

AUTOsist also has an online FAQ that addresses common technical questions, as well as a slew of technical guides. which are also options if you want to try to DIY the issue.

If you’re a small business owner, paying big bucks for a fleet management software might not be feasible. Whip Around is your solution on a budget. The basic plan covers one asset for free, making it a perfect choice for solopreneurs. Of course, the functionality is limited, but you will still get fuel management, defect management and inspection compliance features, as well as access to a mobile app.

We found Whip Around’s other plans also fairly priced in clear tiers, with the highest listed price at $10 per asset per month. For higher-tier Standard and Pro plans, you’ll get sufficiently more functionality, covering up to 250 assets.

Additional perks you’ll get with a Pro plan include customized inspection forms, service history, parts and inventory management, and unlimited driver profiles. As always, make sure to read the details of what features you’ll get with what plan level. In general, Whip Around is a good pick for the budget-conscious business owner.

If you’re looking for the cheapest fleet management tool you can find, Whip Around is “the best.” It’s the only provider on our list with a freebie option, so it clearly stands out from the crowd for that reason. However, there is limited functionality available with the tool, even if you upgrade to higher tiers.

Value 

There’s no doubt that Whip Around is a cost-efficient option. You can’t really argue with “free,” so if you’re curious about trying the Basic plan, it can’t hurt. If you find the technology useful, you can always upgrade to a higher-level plan or even explore alternative providers with more comprehensive functionality.

We do think the value for money is decent, even for the higher-priced plans. However, if you’re looking for comprehensive fleet management, this tool just doesn’t have it. Check out the functionality details to see why. If you aren’t sure about this tool, it’s possible to book a free demo.

Functionality 

As with all things in life, with Whip Around, you get what you pay for. While this is definitely a cost-efficient provider, it lacks quite a few features seen in its pricier counterparts. For example, there is no GPS tracking, even for higher-tiered plans, nor is there any incident or safety reporting. Meanwhile, some features, like ELD compliance, are available only through third-party integration or on higher-priced plans.

So what can this tool do? It still covers some essentials like fuel management and inspection compliance monitoring. The question is whether you need a tech tool for that, especially if you’re a solopreneur with just one asset to manage. We do like that there is a mobile app, even for the Basic (free) plan.

Support 

Whip Around’s affordable price seems to come at the cost of customer service. We were unable to find much in the way of dedicated support. There is an online help center that includes onboarding materials and other how-to guides. However, we struggled to find readily available customer service details.

We found a general contact page with an address and phone number for the various Whip Around offices (North Carolina, California and New Zealand). However, these seem to be regular office numbers, not dedicated customer support numbers. There is also an online contact form at the bottom of the website, which we thought was a chatbot. In fact, you just input your email and send a message and wait for someone to get back to you.

If you’re a number cruncher by nature, Fleetio has some data-focused features that you’re probably going to love. The fleet management reports allow you to filter data according to set criteria, set customizable date ranges and put it all together in easy-to-read data visualizations. You can use the fleet expense tracking data to tally up operating costs for each asset and even get granular details like average daily mileage.

All of this data can help you make smarter decisions about how to cut costs and what to do with your business in the future. For example, if a certain type of automobile is showing higher maintenance costs, you might avoid adding the same make and model of car to your fleet in the future.

You can also compile data on things like fuel usage. The easiest way to do this is by integrating fuel card data. This gives you accurate consumption records, which you can use to track trends in gas usage and prices. It may even be a way of identifying fuel theft (unfortunately, it happens).

Fleetio is a good pick if you’re looking to get serious about tracking your fleet’s profitability, thanks to the data-driven fleet management reporting. If you’re willing to pay for the higher-tier plans, you’ll get more bang for your buck, thanks to the value-add integrations this allows for, like GPS tracking. Take note, though: customer service hours are limited.

Value 

Fleetio gives you clear pricing data immediately available on its website. Compared to some of the less-transparent cost information we saw in competitors, it’s a refreshing change of pace. The price is also nice, with the most affordable plan starting at $5 per asset per month when billed monthly.

Of course, when considering the value add, there is going to be less to get out of the basic package. For maximum added value, you’ll need to look at the higher-tier plans. Especially, beware that the basic plan won’t allow for API access. So, if you want integrations that allow for essential tasks like GPS tracking, you’ll have to go for a higher-grade plan. To test it out, you can get a free 14-day trial. It’s also possible to book a demo.

Functionality 

Fleetio’s proprietary feature set is on the lighter side. You’ll find that certain functions are possible only through plug-ins, including ELD compliance and GPS tracking. Some features that are a given for other providers, like safety/incident reports, aren’t included at all.

Where Fleetio shines is in terms of vehicle maintenance. In fact, similar to Whip Around, Fleetio refers to itself as “fleet maintenance software.” This is where its data capabilities prove especially useful, as you can make sure you’re optimizing your assets, for example by seeing which ones are being underutilized (and which you could possibly even sell). Fleetio gives you a “paper trail” for every asset, including its location and assignment history, fuel transactions and maintenance record.

Support 

Fleetio’s customer service hours are limited to Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Given that other companies offer 24/7 service, those stats aren’t ideal. However, the company does have an email and customer support number clearly posted on its website, and we were able to get through to a person when we called during regular business hours.

We also found some praise for Fleetio’s customer service from online reviewers, suggesting that if you were to reach out with an actual technical problem, they’d be able to help. While 24-hour support would be nice, competent support is important, too!

If you’re eager to do your part in creating a more eco-friendly future and minimizing your fleet’s carbon footprint, Holman Fleet Management is here to help. This company has a uniquely environmentally conscious offering that we didn’t find anywhere else.

For example, if you’re thinking of switching your fleet to all electric vehicles, the company offers EV fleet consulting to help you integrate EVs into your operations seamlessly. You can then manage your fleet data for both traditional automobiles and EVs in one place. The company can even help with EV disposal, in case you want to get rid of your EVs later. It’s an end-to-end service.

Holman also has the know-how to help with unique aspects of overseeing an EV fleet, such as charge management and driver training. Driver training ensures drivers know all about unique aspects of EVs like battery range optimization and safe charging.

If you’re looking for a heavy-duty fleet management tool that ticks all the essential boxes, Holman has you covered. That said, this provider offers exclusively enterprise plans, so presumably you’re going to be paying more than you would for some alternatives on this list. Given how robust this tool is and its proprietary pricing model, we would have expected better customer support, but found it lacked clarity.

Value 

Talking about value for money is tricky when you don’t have a price tag to go on. That said, Holman offers a comprehensive selection of fleet management features that seem to promise a solid value add. The eco-friendly management of EV fleets in particular is a unique add-on that we couldn’t find elsewhere.

Holman’s small business solutions seem to offer the most promising value add for consumers. For example, Holman offers vehicle services to help you acquire vehicles and build your fleet, which is great if you’re starting from scratch. This is the kind of early-stage white glove service we found that sets Holman apart.

Functionality 

Whatever you want your fleet management tool to do, odds are Holman will deliver. We found Holman does everything you’d expect from a fleet management tool, including ELD compliance, GPS tracking, maintenance management tracking and incident/safety reporting.

Holman places significant emphasis on creating custom tools and also offers industry-specific verticals. We think the ability to “build your own” solution is unique and could potentially be cost efficient, allowing you to save money by skipping features you don’t need and focusing on those you do. That said, it all depends on the final price tag, which is a mystery!

Support 

We found Holman Fleet Management’s customer service lacking in transparency. We were able to find a contact page online, which included a product and account support button. However, when you click that button, all you get is an online form to fill out. We would have hoped to find at least a phone number or email to contact.
