Fortunately, those days are over and on today’s market pretty much all the best software providers offer some kind of cloud-based Fleet Management Software solutions.
I said pretty much because still, you will be able to find some companies that require you to invest a significant amount of money into hardware.
My advice is to stay away from that kind of companies if you are small and medium trucking company. Only if there is a company policy in place that prevents you from using the cloud based solution you should consider this.
3. Talk To The Existing Users Before Buying a Fleet Management Software
Talking to other companies and users that are using the software you shortlisted should be your priority.
The feedback collected from real time users can be extremely valuable and could save you a lot of money; you would burn buying a solution that is not a good fit for you.
