How to use software program

Fleet Vehicle Management is a very easy to use program. GET FAMILIAR WITH THE ICONS

The structure of fleet management program is as follows:

The start form allows us to select Owners, Drivers or Vehicles, it also helps us to create Invoices and Receipts and alarms by date. From here we can also go to Contacts and Websites. There is also a form with very useful tools to manage our software.

The heart of the system starts in the database for vehicles.

From that form is controlled all the information pertaining to each vehicle, including alarms for expiration date on insurances, a form to keep history of accidents, reports and much more.

When we create a new record, the vehicle is filtered as Active, this status may be changed in the future to Inactive in order to retain the history of the vehicle.

From the form Vehicles we go to the Daily Movement.

From the Daily Movement we can move to Fuel Efficiency Control and generate reports.

From Daily Movement we can do our accounting and go to all the reports of maintenance, accounting and costs.

Depending on the needs of the company, the program may be used with the Normal Daily Movement, or used in the Simple Mode or the control and accounting may be done in the module Dispatching, Routing and Jobs.

Records security function

To avoid accidental loss of information, once you add a new record, the system will lock its ID so that it does not get changed or deleted accidentally or deliberately.

Once the locking activation takes place, the id of the record, let's say the number plates is not editable. You may delete it and add it again if you made any mistake. The rest of the information in the form is not locked.

When a record is added, the system will lock it, if you are in Vehicles, the vehicle becomes "Active" by default.

The software also has a safety feature for deleting records, It requires a second key.
