FAQ
Fleet management costs
Fleet budget
What does custom fleet management software cost?
Fleet administration with vehicle files, dates and costs starts at around EUR 18,000–30,000 excl. VAT. With telematics integration and live locations, projects run EUR 35,000–70,000; complete solutions with dispatching above that. The calculator narrows the range by fleet size, scope and modules.
Custom solution or off-the-shelf fleet software?
Standard tools cover plain vehicle administration well. A custom solution pays off when your own processes (dispatching, construction site logistics, special vehicles) need to be mapped, several telematics providers combined, or ERP and workshop integrated – without recurring licence fees per vehicle.
What does telematics integration cost?
Connecting existing telematics boxes (from about EUR 7,500) pulls positions, mileage and vehicle data into the system automatically. Mileage-based maintenance, leasing control and location overviews then run without manual upkeep – data quality improves significantly.

Modules & practice
When does a fleet need an electronic logbook?
For company cars in private use, tax authorities require complete, tamper-proof records. The electronic logbook (+25%) fulfils these requirements automatically from telematics data – drivers only classify trips via app instead of keeping paper books.
What does a driver app deliver?
The driver app (from about EUR 6,500) bundles damage reporting with photos, driving licence checks, departure checks and trip classification. Reports land in the system instantly instead of on paper – and legally required checks are documented audit-proof.
How does the workshop module help with fleet costs?
The workshop module (from about EUR 5,500) manages maintenance appointments, inspection deadlines and repair history per vehicle. Combined with fuel card import, total costs per vehicle become transparent – the basis for retiring expensive vehicles in time.
Typical pricing models (overview)
| Model | When it fits | Budget & flexibility | Typical risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed price (fixed scope) | Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery. | Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order. | Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs. |
| Time & Material | Discovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration. | Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates. | Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter. |
| Retainer / maintenance package | Ongoing operations, updates, small features, and support. | Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost. | Large changes may still need a separate estimate. |
| Hybrid (milestone + T&M) | MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate. | Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis. | Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work. |
Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
