Fleet Service 365 vs OpenGTS

Fleet Service 365 combines asset tracking, maintenance, inspections, fuel and meter tracking, work orders, and reporting in a fleet management system. Preventive maintenance can be scheduled by odometer, engine hours, or calendar, with work orders and technician notifications generated from schedules. Mobile DVIR inspections support photos, signatures, GPS, timestamps, and offline use; reported defects can create work orders automatically. The mobile app is available for iOS and Android, alongside web, API, and self-hosted options. Supported telematics providers include ATTI, Geotab, Samsara, Motive, and Verizon Connect. A separate FS365 product brings fleet operations into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, and Field Service. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card. Starter is free and covers up to 3 assets and 1 user. Standard costs $6 a month per asset when billed annually at $72 per asset; Pro costs $8 a month per asset when billed annually at $96 per asset. Self-hosted deployment is described for a customer VPC or on-premises Kubernetes.

OpenGTS is an open-source, web-based system for collecting and storing GPS tracking and telemetry data from remote devices, with vehicle fleets as its focus. Its described uses include taxis, delivery vehicles, equipment, ships, and personal tracking. Fleet operators can view live locations, diagnostics, and sensor data, and use customizable historical, detail, and summary reports. Custom geofences can produce arrival and departure events in reports. Accounts can contain multiple users with separate passwords and controlled access to account sections. Mapping options include OpenLayers/OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, Microsoft Virtual Earth, and Mapstraction. Several tracker protocols and phone-tracking options are included, and custom devices can be added through an example communication server. Each device needs a supported communication server, which may require protocol configuration or implementation. OpenGTS is written in Java, uses an SQL database, and runs its web interface and HTTP device servers in a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat.
