One of these tools lets you carry out fleet management. It provides options to keep a track of vehicles, vehicle contracts, odometer, fuel logs, service logs, and vehicle costs. You can also use it to generate reports based on various costs.

odoo’s fleet management module is not as advanced as Fleetco, but is good if you want to store basic information of your vehicles.

You need to add vehicles to your fleet first. While adding vehicles, you can enter vehicle model, license, assigned driver, odometer reading, engine information, and other necessary info.

Although this free vehicle management software comes without any limitations, the options available are pretty basic.

Note: In the free version of odoo, you can only use one app at a time. So, if you are using fleet management app, you cannot use other apps of odoo at the same time.

FleetVIP

FleetVIP is an amazing vehicle management software for PC. The fleet management features provided by this software let you keep track of vehicles info, vehicle maintenance tasks, schedule maintenance tasks, generate reports, and more.
