Fleet Maintenance Pro vs FleetForger

Fleet Maintenance Pro helps organizations manage maintenance, repairs, fuel records, and fleet equipment. All editions can track an unlimited number of vehicles and equipment. Preventive maintenance can be scheduled by date, mileage, kilometers, hours, or fuel consumption, with automated notices when service is due. Repair requests can generate work orders with parts and labor details. The software records fuel transactions and can import exported information from an existing fuel card system. Shop Edition adds parts inventory management, stock tracking, purchasing, and reorder notifications. Reports can be printed, emailed, or exported, and an optional editor can adjust included reports. The cloud version is accessible from desktops, tablets, and smartphones, with dedicated iPhone and Android apps. The cloud plan page lists integration options such as GPS and API; the Enterprise web version can import meter readings and asset locations daily from a GPS provider. Cloud data is described as encrypted and automatically backed up. Plans include cloud subscriptions and Windows desktop purchases; the cloud plan listing starts at $24/user/mo, while another page shows “Starting at $30/mo.” A 30-day free trial is offered, but there is no free plan.

FleetForger provides maintenance tools for heavy-duty shops, covering work orders, driver inspections, parts inventory, preventive maintenance and unit tracking. Work orders can record separate labor entries for multiple technicians, track parts and labor, and be printed or emailed. Inspections support defect photos, customer approval links, audit timestamps and DOT §396.11 pre- and post-trip templates. Shops can schedule per-unit maintenance by miles, engine hours or days, then use alerts and one-click work-order creation. The system tracks serial-numbered components and their service histories across units. Inventory features include phone barcode scanning, automatic deductions for work-order parts, low-stock alerts and vendor and cost history. QuickBooks Online supports invoice pushes and a sync log. Its installable progressive web app supports offline inspection, time and photo capture, syncing when online. Plans start at $99 a month; the 14-day trial requires no credit card. After the trial, unsubscribed accounts become view-only, with data retained for 90 days. FleetForger offers Android, iOS, web and API access.
