Most dispatchers still drag tomorrow's jobs onto the board every morning. Schedule Automation removes the ritual — set a rule on a workflow once, and planned tasks promote themselves onto the active board when their start time is near. It reacts when plans change, and you can still promote any job by hand in one click.

You’ve got all this data coming from your fleet vehicles on maintenance, fuel, and mileage, but it feels like navigating through a maze with no map to guide you. You know tracking the right fleet metrics is crucial, but where do you even begin and what really matters? Read this article to learn about the key KPIs that tell you whether your fleet is on track or heading for trouble.

Unexpected downtime presents a tangible setback for your fleet. Not only is your asset now off the road, but you have to tweak your operations and allocate finances to accommodate for it.

Some jobs are too big for one driver. Multi-assignee tasks let you put the whole crew on a single task — each person with their own vehicle, status, and progress — while loads and deliveries are counted automatically into one shared total.

If you manage a large enterprise fleet with hundreds of vehicles, you face the daunting challenge of optimizing operations every day. Your fleet is a critical resource; however, costs can grow exponentially if the right approach isn’t applied. Hence, achieving efficiency is a top priority. The good news is that fleet management software can be your ally in streamlining operations and maximizing productivity.

Managing a fleet isn’t just about tracking dots on a map. It’s about knowing exactly what’s happening — and reacting before small issues become big problems. That’s why we rebuilt and expanded the Fleet Chaser Events System. Now, with a cleaner interface and more flexible rules, Events is open to every Fleet Chaser customer.

In most operations, the plan and the work live in different places. The plan's on a board, or in a dispatcher's head. The work's out on a site, in a truck, spread across locations. And whatever actually happened comes back later in pieces — a phone call, a half-remembered note, a photo that never got sent. Tasks v2 closes that gap. You set up the work the way your business runs it, your crew does it from their phone, and when it's done you open the task and see exactly how it went — who did what, when, how much — without calling anyone to ask. It doesn't much matter whether you dispatch field crews, haul materials between sites, run service calls, or coordinate office work across locations. The point of Tasks v2 is that it bends to your process instead of forcing you into someone else's.

But your drivers may need to be on board with that decision. How do you do what’s best for your drivers and fleet without harming driver trust while juggling legal concerns? Not to worry. Here are crucial points to keep in mind in your efforts to equip your fleet with dash cams while preserving driver privacy:

Fleet Chaser chat keeps every conversation right next to the routes, tasks, and time clock your team already works in. Over the past few months we've made it clearer to use and steadier out in the field — reply to specific messages, share files with cleaner previews, and stay connected even when the signal drops.
