Fleetio

Fleet management and maintenance software

Fleet Management, Equipment & Asset Management

Best forUS-based maintenance-focused fleet managers at small-to-medium fleets (roughly 5–500 vehicles) who prioritize preventive maintenance, inspections, parts/inventory and cost-of-ownership reporting and who already have (or plan to purchase) telematics/GPS hardware separately.

Fleetio centralizes fleet maintenance and operations, using real-world maintenance data to surface cost spikes, duplicates, and out-of-policy work. Its AI Service Advisor instantly reviews repair orders and ranks priorities so teams can reduce shop hours, control costs, and keep assets moving.

Verdict

If you need powerful maintenance scheduling, inspection workflows, parts/inventory tracking and clear TCO/cost reporting — and you want a fast, modern UI with strong integrations and an open API — choose Fleetio. However, if you prioritize native real-time GPS tracking, built-in driver behavior scoring/dash-cam management, route dispatch optimization, or guaranteed 24/7 vendor support, look elsewhere or plan to pair Fleetio with a telematics-first provider.

How to automate fuel card transaction imports to vehicle records
Paid required
Plan: unknown
  1. Click Integrations in the Sidebar Navigation

    Open the Fleetio web app and click Integrations in the Sidebar Navigation to access integration setup and management pages.

  2. Click My Integrations in the Integrations Directory sidebar

    Within Integrations, click My Integrations in the Integrations Directory sidebar to view existing fuel provider connections and add new ones.

  3. Click Add EFS Fuel Card Account

    If you use EFS, click Add EFS Fuel Card Account and follow the on-screen prompts to enter your EFS credentials so Fleetio can connect and begin retrieving transactions (Fleetio will attempt to use provided credentials to connect).

  4. Enter provider credentials and confirm the integration

    For the selected fuel provider (EFS, WEX, FLEETCOR, FuelCloud, Fill-Rite), provide the required account credentials in the integration setup; if the connection succeeds, the integration will be saved and new transactions will begin importing according to the provider schedule.

  5. Assign Fuel Cards and Fuel Transactions to Vehicles

    After cards begin appearing, associate each imported Fuel Card with the corresponding Fleetio Vehicle so transactions map to vehicle records; Fleetio will recognize new Fuel Cards for some providers and prompt you to assign them.

  6. Click Fuel & Energy in the Sidebar Navigation and select Fuel History

    To find unassigned transactions, click Fuel & Energy in the Sidebar Navigation and select Fuel History to open the Fuel History page where unassigned transactions are listed.

  7. Click the More Actions Button and select Manage Unassigned EFS Transactions

    On Fuel History, click the More Actions Button in the top right and select Manage Unassigned EFS Transactions (this option appears only if you have unassigned transactions) to review items that need vehicle assignment.

  8. Click the More Actions Button for the transaction and select Assign

    For each unassigned transaction, click the More Actions Button for the transaction and select Assign, use the Vehicle drop-down to select the correct vehicle, and click the Assign button to attach the transaction to the vehicle record.

  9. Enable Product Code 05 in your WEX integration settings (optional)

    If you use WEX and need to import 'Other Fuel' transactions, enable Product Code 05 in your WEX integration settings so those transactions will be imported as Fuel Entries in Fleetio.

  10. Edit incorrect meter readings on imported Fuel Entries

    Open any imported Fuel Entry that has an incorrect odometer/meter reading and edit the associated Meter Entry so MPG and cost-per-mile calculations and service triggers remain accurate.

How to set up automated vehicle maintenance reminders?
Paid required
Plan: unknown
  1. Click Service Reminders module

    Open Fleetio and navigate to the Service Reminders module to view and manage preventive maintenance schedules.

  2. Import your vehicles

    Select Import your vehicles so Fleetio can populate OEM recommended schedules automatically when vehicle data is added.

  3. Create service reminders

    Within Service Reminders, create your own service reminders or service programs to add maintenance items that are not covered by OEM recommended schedules.

  4. Change Time Interval

    Edit the Time Interval for the service reminder to set the desired time-based frequency for the maintenance reminder.

  5. Change threshold

    Adjust the reminder threshold so Fleetio knows when to notify users that maintenance is due (this determines how early the reminder triggers).

  6. Select notification recipients

    Choose who gets the reminders (driver, operator, technician, mechanic, admin) so the right people are notified about upcoming maintenance.

  7. Select notification methods (Push notification, Email alert, Report)

    Set how recipients receive reminders by selecting Push notification, Email alert, or include the reminder in a Report.

  8. Enable GPS integration (optional)

    If you have a GPS integration configured, ensure it is enabled so Service Reminders can trigger from odometer readings; otherwise Fleetio will use odometer updates from service entries or inspections.

How to implement automated maintenance reminders for fleets
Paid required
Plan: unknown
  1. Go to Maintenance

    Open the vehicle record for any asset and click Maintenance to access that vehicle's service settings; use the option to pull in the OEM recommended schedule so the manufacturer's intervals are loaded into Fleetio for that asset.

  2. Create Service Program

    From Maintenance, build your own service program or select a template by choosing the option to create a service program so you can define recurring service items and intervals that will apply to multiple assets.

  3. Apply Service Program to Group

    Select the target Group (use the Groups filter to pick the set of vehicles or equipment) and apply the service program so the defined reminders are automatically assigned to every asset in that group on the recurring schedule.

  4. Open Reminders page

    Go to the Reminders page to view all service reminders across the fleet; use the page to see which reminders are overdue by meter-based or time-based intervals and to monitor the fleet average compliance score.

  5. Add Watchers to Reminder

    On a service reminder (or within the service program settings), add Watchers using the Watchers functionality so designated users are notified when a reminder becomes overdue.

  6. Snooze Service Reminder

    On the Reminders page, select a specific service reminder and click Snooze if the maintenance has already been scheduled externally to prevent duplicate alerts.

  7. Schedule a recurring report

    Create or open the relevant service or operating cost report, give it a name, choose the recipients and file type (PDF or CSV), and set the schedule (for example, monthly) so maintenance status and upcoming reminders are emailed automatically.

FAQ

What is AI Service Advisor?

AI Service Advisor is Fleetio's AI feature that scans repair orders using historical maintenance data to flag cost spikes, duplicate charges, and out-of-policy work, presenting items that warrant manager review.

How do Smart Assessments work?

Smart Assessments automatically review each repair order as it enters Fleetio and surface a short list of items—such as cost deviations or duplicates—that deserve closer inspection.

What are Smart Priorities?

Smart Priorities rank new issues by risk, cost impact, and operational context so teams can focus on the most important work rather than treating everything as urgent.

Will the AI replace my team's decisions?

No. Fleetio's AI is designed to assist decision-making: it applies guardrails, escalates concerns, and captures every decision for the record while keeping teams in control.

How can I try Fleetio's AI features?

You can request demo access via Fleetio's website and subscribe to the Fleet Beat® newsletter; the site also links to user reviews on platforms like G2 and Capterra.
