Fleetsoft vs OpenGTS

Fleetsoft is a SaaS platform for managing maintenance and operating tasks across vehicles and other assets. It covers maintenance schedules, repairs, work orders, compliance, operating costs, and parts inventory. Preventive maintenance reminders can be based on odometer readings, engine hours, or dates. Work orders record repairs, labor, and parts costs, while inventory tools handle parts movement, purchase orders, physical inventory, and transfers between sites. GPS and telematics integrations can supply meter readings, fault codes, vehicle locations, and DVIR defects. Invoices can be exported to QuickBooks, and accounting data can also be exported as TXT, XML, or CSV. Administrators can configure permissions by user or group, site access, and web roles with API permissions. The software makes nightly full database backups in a user-defined location; manual backups are also available. Professional costs $5 a month per asset, billed annually, and Professional Plus costs $7 a month per asset, billed annually. Fleetsoft was founded in 2006. Its Desktop Version 12 is no longer being developed, repaired, maintained, or tested after December 31, 2024; existing installations can be used without support after December 31, 2025.

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. The project is licensed under Apache License version 2 and provides installation and configuration documentation, a tutorial, JavaDocs, and a FAQ.
