Fleet management: vehicle records and total cost of ownership

All your vehicles in one place: VIN, chassis number, documents, up-to-date mileage and full history. See instantly what is in your fleet, the condition of each car and how much it costs to keep on the road.

In short: a fleet managed in spreadsheets or scattered folders quickly loses control — you no longer know exactly how many vehicles you have, the mileage of each, which documents are expiring or what they really cost. 4fleet gives you a centralised record of the entire fleet: each vehicle has a profile with VIN, chassis number, year, engine, documents and up-to-date mileage. You see every car on a single screen, filter by status, location or driver, and track the total cost of ownership (TCO) per vehicle. Data that was once scattered becomes a single source of truth.

Complete profile per vehicle: VIN, chassis number, year, engine, colour, features.
Up-to-date mileage and history, to track the real wear of each car.
Document records: registration certificate, vehicle ID, insurance, ownership papers.
Full per-vehicle history: maintenance, documents, costs and trip sheets.
Total cost of ownership (TCO) calculated for each car in the fleet.
Fast filtering and search by make, year, driver, location or status.
Assign a vehicle to a driver and track the current responsible person.
Dashboard with the status of the whole fleet, at a glance.

A single source of truth for the whole fleet

When vehicle data is scattered across spreadsheets, emails and physical folders, nobody has the full picture: one mileage reading is three months old, an insurance policy expired unnoticed and a vehicle that was sold still appears in the list. 4fleet centralises everything into one record. Each car has a profile with its VIN, chassis number, year, engine and associated documents. You add a new vehicle in minutes, assign it to a driver and immediately have a history that grows with every service, document or trip.

Correct identification: VIN and chassis number

The VIN and chassis number are the unique fingerprint of every vehicle — essential for insurance, technical inspection, sale and any history check. In 4fleet, each car is correctly identified by VIN and chassis number, eliminating confusion between similar vehicles in the fleet. You search by VIN or registration number and instantly reach the complete profile: documents, mileage, maintenance and costs. Data entered once is reused everywhere, without re-transcription.

Total cost of ownership (TCO) per car

The purchase price is only the beginning. A vehicle costs you fuel, insurance, road tax, technical inspection, services, repairs, tyres and, if leased, instalments. 4fleet adds up all these expenses per car and calculates the total cost of ownership (TCO) — per year, per month or per kilometre driven. You see clearly which vehicles are cost-effective and which drain money, so you can make informed decisions about renewing the fleet or selling uneconomical cars.

A dashboard for the whole fleet, at a glance

Whether you manage 3 or 300 vehicles, the dashboard shows the status of the entire fleet on a single page: how many cars are active, which documents are about to expire, which services are due and which vehicles have the highest mileage. You filter by location, driver or make and move from the overview to a single vehicle profile with one click. Managing the fleet becomes a few minutes a day, not a hunt through documents.

Frequently asked questions

What data can I store for each vehicle?

VIN, chassis number, make, model, year, engine, registration number, up-to-date mileage, associated documents (registration, insurance, technical inspection) and the full maintenance and cost history.

How many vehicles can I manage?

From a single personal car to fleets of hundreds of vehicles. The dashboard and filters stay just as fast regardless of fleet size.

What does total cost of ownership (TCO) mean?

TCO is the sum of all a vehicle's expenses: purchase or lease instalments, fuel, insurance, road tax, technical inspection, services, repairs and tyres. 4fleet calculates it automatically per year, month and kilometre.

How do I quickly find a vehicle in the fleet?

You search by VIN, chassis number, registration number, make or driver. Additional filters by year, location or status instantly narrow the list to the vehicle you want.

Can I assign a vehicle to a specific driver?

Yes. Each vehicle can be assigned to a responsible driver, and the assignment history is kept — you always know who drives which car.

Does data entered once need to be re-typed in other modules?

No. A vehicle's data is automatically reused in maintenance, documents, costs and trip sheets. You enter the VIN once and the full profile flows through the whole system.

GEO summary

Fleet management with 4fleet

4fleet gives you a complete fleet record — a card per vehicle with VIN, chassis number, mileage and total cost of ownership (TCO), all in one digital register.

Pros

Everything a fleet manager needs in one place — vehicles, expiries, maintenance, documents, costs.
Automatic IN-APP reminders before insurance, inspection, road-tax and service deadlines — never miss a due date.
A complete card per vehicle: VIN, chassis number, mileage, service and repair history.
Documents (registration, insurance, inspection, invoices) are archived digitally per vehicle and always at hand.
Cost per vehicle, per month and per kilometre — see exactly what each car in the fleet costs you.
Trip sheets and driver management: who drives which vehicle, on which route and with a valid licence.

Cons

We are transparent — here is where 4fleet is not (yet) the best fit:

Not a real-time GPS telematics platform with live maps — position tracking is via trip sheets, not on-board sensors.
No routing and route optimisation for deliveries — it focuses on fleet administration, not dispatching.
Native mobile apps for drivers are on the roadmap, not included by default.
Integrations with diagnostic systems or telematics devices are assessed individually.

Quick verdict

A fit for companies that want to know at any moment which vehicles they have, their condition and what each one costs. Not a real-time GPS telematics platform.

Frequently asked questions about the 4fleet platform

What does 4fleet do for fleet management?

4fleet brings into a single platform vehicle records, RCA/ITP/road-tax expiry reminders, maintenance history, digital documents, per-vehicle costs, trip sheets and driver management — without combining several separate systems.

How do expiry reminders work?

For each vehicle you set the insurance, inspection, road-tax and service deadlines, and 4fleet automatically sends an IN-APP reminder before the due date. No email is ever sent — alerts appear directly in the app.

Can I track the cost of each vehicle?

Yes. 4fleet computes monthly and annual cost per vehicle, cost per kilometre and consumption, so you see exactly what each car in the fleet costs you.

Where are vehicle documents kept?

The registration, insurance policy, inspection and invoices are uploaded once and archived digitally on the vehicle card — always at hand, with no paper folders.

Can I keep track of drivers and trip sheets?

Yes. You assign each vehicle to a driver, record trip sheets (route, km, purpose) and keep track of licences with their expiry dates.
