Optimise your fleet for the best performance
Manage vehicle expenses and benchmark against the competition to drive business outcomes from your mobile assets.
Request a demoSlash fuel costs by managing how vehicles are used
Monitor and report fuel usage across the fleet. Integrate fuel card data for accurate expense tracking, and stamp out idling or other fuel wasting behaviours with driver coaching.
Benchmark within your company or against the best
Set standards and goals for how you want your fleet to operate. Report on current and historical fleet utilisation to identify opportunities to boost performance. Contrast your team with leaders in your field and others to see how you stack up.
Predict maintenance and get ahead of any issues
Collect and manage engine fault codes and other predictive data. Geotab helps you plan and prioritize vehicle maintenance, to help keep your fleet running and costs lower. Intervene before an engine fault takes a productive vehicle off the road.
Commonly asked questions
What is fleet optimisation?
Fleet optimisation is the process of maximising the productivity of your fleet to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of your operations. There are a number of areas that fleet managers should look at to achieve optimal fleet efficiency, and fleet optimisation software will help you to identify the best priority order for tackling these.
Key considerations for fleet optimisation include:
• Fleet fuel consumption — are my vehicles achieving the best fuel consumption that they are capable of?
• Fleet maintenance — am I adequately prioritising maintenance tasks to minimise vehicle downtime and maintenance costs?
• Fleet benchmarking — how does my operation's fleet efficiency compare to that of other similar fleets?
• Vehicle rightsizing — do I have the right vehicles in my fleet, and are they all completing the duty cycles that they are best suited to?

How can I track fleet optimisation?
Fleet optimisation can be tracked and measured with fleet optimisation software. This software provides you with metrics and insights into the following areas of your fleet operations:
• Fuel management — Save on costs by actively managing fuel use and increasing overall fuel efficiency.
• Fleet maintenance — Take a proactive approach to fleet maintenance. Maximise vehicle uptime and reduce costs with a proactive maintenance schedule.
• Fleet benchmarking — See how your fleet stacks up against other fleets with similar operational requirements.
