Introduction
Fleet management is the coordination of a company’s vehicles and equipment, maintenance, driver oversight, fuel, routing, and compliance, all aimed at keeping assets running efficiently without the cost of managing each piece in isolation.
The scope is broader than trucks. It covers commercial vehicles, specialist equipment like construction machinery, and non-powered assets like generators and gearboxes that don’t move on their own power but still need tracking and upkeep.
The functions involved are deeply interrelated rather than separate boxes to check. Maintenance data affects routing, driver behavior affects fuel costs, vehicle location affects both security and delivery reliability. Managing each in its own silo means nobody sees how they actually connect, which is why fleets consolidate onto a single platform instead of stitching separate tools together.
Intangles brings this together across predictive health monitoring, fuel and DEF diagnostics, driver behavior scoring, video telematics, and location tracking on one platform, InRoute, so a fleet manager isn’t cross-referencing five separate tools to answer one operational question.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's actually included in fleet management?
Vehicle maintenance, driver management, fuel and route logistics, and regulatory compliance are the core pieces. Most platforms also fold in location tracking and safety monitoring as standard, not add-ons.
Is fleet management only for trucking companies?
No. Anything involving multiple vehicles or mobile equipment, construction, delivery, utilities, mining, benefits from the same coordination, even if the specific assets look nothing like a semi-truck.
What's the difference between fleet management and fleet management software?
Fleet management is the overall discipline and set of practices. Fleet management software is the tool that executes it, tracking, scheduling, and reporting on those practices in one system instead of manually.
Why does combining data sources matter more than tracking each one separately?
Because the useful insights live in the overlap. A fuel spike alone is just a number, but paired with harsh-acceleration data from the same vehicle, it points to a driving behavior problem rather than a mechanical one, something neither data set shows on its own.
