Private fleet management: oversight for owners who cannot be everywhere

· 5 min read

Owners of small and mid-sized private fleets run on trust. The trouble is that trust does not scale: you cannot ride in every vehicle, and disputes about hours, distance and blame are hard to settle without a record. TransitGuide gives owners oversight sized to their fleet and budget.

The problem: not knowing, and finding out late

Is that van working or parked? Did the driver really do those kilometres? Why was the vehicle somewhere unexpected last Sunday? Owners often learn about problems days later, from a customer or a repair bill, and drivers dispute data they cannot see.

Pricing that follows fleet size

Plans are tier-gated, with driver and vehicle slots, so a small fleet starts with live tracking and trip history and adds more as it grows. Features are controlled by the backend, so upgrading unlocks them everywhere (web and mobile) without installing anything.

Alerts that reach you where you are

Alerts can reach the owner by push, email, SMS and WhatsApp depending on plan and setup, and every message names the vehicle and the business. A notification rules interface on higher plans controls what triggers an alert and how often, with cooldowns and de-duplication so alerts stay meaningful.

The right access for the right person

Invite managers, dispatchers and accountants with owner, admin, dispatcher or viewer roles. Every state change is recorded in an audit log, so it is clear who did what. The admin mobile companion puts the fleet cockpit in your pocket.

A record that settles disputes

Trip history and replay show exactly what a vehicle did, and driver-behaviour reports summarise harsh events. Periodic business reports can be generated on demand and saved as a PDF from the browser; scheduled and emailed reports are not available yet.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for a very small fleet?

Yes. Entry plans cover live tracking, trip history and a limited number of drivers and vehicles.

Can my manager see the fleet without being able to change it?

Yes. The viewer role gives read-only access.

Will I get a weekly report by email?

Not yet. Business reports are generated on demand and can be printed or saved as PDF.
