Fleet Management Software: 14 Solutions Compared in 2026

The term covers two distinct disciplines. On one side, telematics platforms, which feed back vehicle position, driving behaviour and mechanical condition through boxes fitted on board: Geotab plugs its GO9 device into the vehicle's OBD port^[1], while Webfleet, Bridgestone's telematics arm, has partnered with the Bosch L.OS logistics platform^[2]. On the other, administrative and financial management software, which runs the vehicle lifecycle from orders to returns, through contracts, maintenance, claims and taxation (TVS, benefits in kind), without fitting a single box: that is the territory of GAC Car Fleet, WinFlotte, Phoenix Fleet Expert, FleetNote and Cegid Notilus^[3].

Tracking the vehicles and controlling the costs takes both tools. Telematics tells you what the vehicles are doing. Management software tells you what they cost. Vendors know it and are building bridges: since 2015, Fleetio has pulled daily odometer readings and fault codes from Geotab devices^[4], and Michelin Connected Fleet leaves the choice between a dedicated device and the manufacturer's native connectivity^[5]. Before comparing prices, identify your biggest gap.

1. TCO calculation. Total Cost of Ownership sums it all up: purchase or lease, fuel, maintenance, insurance, taxes, residual value. Software that does not consolidate these items into a single dashboard leaves you rebuilding the TCO by hand in Excel. FleetNote, GAC Car Fleet and WinFlotte integrate this calculation and invoice capture^[3], and so do Cegid Notilus and Avrios^[6][7]. Check that it breaks down by vehicle and by period, not just at fleet level.

2. Integrated telematics. GPS tracking, driver scores, engine diagnostics, maintenance alerts: this is the core business of Geotab and Webfleet. Without telematics, you have no field data to manage safety or vehicle wear. The real question is where the data comes from. Either the solution installs its own boxes, or it reads the manufacturers' on-board electronics. Fleeti, for instance, connects directly to data from 35 brands and reserves its box for older vehicles^[8]. The choice weighs on both the cost and the duration of the rollout.

3. Condition-based maintenance. Beyond deadline reminders, several vendors trigger servicing on actual vehicle usage rather than a flat mileage assumption. Optimum schedules maintenance automatically from manufacturer service plans^[9]. Chevin offers an application dedicated to workshop technicians^[10]. Fleetio made its name on this item with its work orders, and pulls fault codes from Geotab devices^[4].

4. Fuel and charging. Managing consumption means capturing every fill-up. That is the job of a multi-network fuel card whose statements feed the software. For a fleet going electric, charging must follow the same path, or you create a silo. Optimum offers a module devoted to electrification^[9], Michelin Connected Fleet support for the transition to electric^[5]. In both cases, ask for a demo run on your own charging statements, not on a test data set.

5. Accounting integration. Software that does not talk to your ERP or your expense tool condemns you to re-keying. Cegid Notilus announces integration with ERP, accounting and HR tools, and articulates its fleet module with its expense reports^[6]. Phoenix Fleet Expert ingests supplier invoices, calculates provisions and exports to accounting^[11]. Ask for the list of native connectors before signing, and for a real example of an export file.

The table lists 14 solutions offered to French companies in 2026, cross-referenced from the Mister Fleet and Appvizer comparisons^[3][12], then verified on each vendor's website. The price column only shows a figure when the vendor publishes it itself.

Four of these platforms come from telematics. Geotab claims more than 5 million connected vehicles and 55,000 end customers^[1]. Webfleet reports more than 50,000 customers, offers a digital tachograph and integrates devices factory-fitted by manufacturers^[13]. Michelin Connected Fleet, headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, tracks more than 684,000 vehicles for more than 50,000 customers^[18] and stands out on tyre monitoring, with pressure, temperature and automated inspection^[5]. Fleeti, present in France and eight African countries, claims more than 1,000 companies and around 40,000 vehicles and machines on its platform^[8].

The market is consolidating. Shiftmove, a German-Swiss group born in 2023 from the merger of Avrios and Vimcar, acquired the French company Optimum Automotive in October 2024^[19]. The two brands are still sold separately: Optimum keeps its GPS geolocation and its direct connection to ANTAI and the SIV, and claims more than 8,000 companies and public bodies as customers^[9]. Avrios bets on administrative automation (more detail below). If you talk to both, know that you are talking to the same group.

Fleetio, for its part, is pure SaaS, no devices, and one of the few to publish its price grid: $4 per vehicle per month on the Essential plan billed annually ($5 monthly), $7 for Professional and $10 for Premium, those two annual only^[14].

On the French-speaking side, GAC Car Fleet is described by Mister Fleet as the broadest functional offering on the market (orders, infringements, maintenance, energy transition, cost calculations), at the cost of some complexity. SoonGo covers an equally broad functional scope and offers a simple, intelligent solution for managing and optimising fleets through data analysis and AI. WinFlotte remains a reference for large fleets and the public sector thanks to its budget analysis and its handling of mixed long-term leasing and owned fleets. Cegid Notilus bets on the articulation with expense reports^[3].

Behind GAC Car Fleet sits GAC Software, a Lyon-based vendor founded in 2007 that claims more than 950 customers, with a driver app (mycarfleet) and a module dedicated to fines (finefleet)^[15]. FleetNote, founded in 2014 in Aix-en-Provence, initially targeted fleets of 20 to 60 vehicles and does without devices^[20]. Cegid Notilus brings fleet, expense reports and travel together under a single vendor, and publishes its price^[17].

These three names keep coming up together in searches, yet they do not target the same fleet. All three belong to the management family: they start from the contract, the driver and the invoice, not from GPS position. Their difference lies in who does the work, and for what fleet size.

Avrios targets company-car fleets from around twenty vehicles upwards, run by a small administrative team. Its flagship module, a "digital post office", uses AI to recognise incoming fleet documents, attach them to the right vehicle and trigger the next action. On top of that come driving licence verification, technical inspection tracking, claims management, comparison of quotes at purchase, and centralisation of fines via ANTAI. Pricing is calculated per vehicle per month, with a free trial, but no tariff is published. The vendor claims more than 1,000 customers in France^[7].

Chevin FleetWave comes from a British vendor founded in 1990, which claims more than one million vehicles and items of equipment managed^[21]. The software targets complex fleets: its references range from ambulance services and local authorities to DPD or Currys. It combines a driver app (trips, incidents, maintenance requests), a technician app and integrations with fuel providers, GPS and financial systems. Two per-vehicle monthly subscriptions exist, FleetWave Core and FleetWave Advanced, with no public pricing. A French-language website is online^[10].

Phoenix Fleet Expert is a French vendor based in Méré, in the Yvelines, whose software has existed since 2011 and which reports 97,000 vehicles managed. Its singularity is that it also sells service: in shared management, its teams take over part of the tasks while you keep the software. In outsourced management, they run the entire fleet^[16]. The SaaS software covers car policy, pool vehicle booking, automatic tax calculation (TVS, AND, IFRS), transmission of benefits in kind to payroll, the ANTAI interface and per-vehicle greenhouse gas emission tracking^[11].

In practice, an SMB with 30 company cars looking to cut administrative time will look at Avrios. A public body with a workshop and a mixed fleet will look at Chevin. A French company with no full-time fleet manager, or one that wants to do without, will look at Phoenix for its delegated management. None of the three publishes its pricing.

The dominant model is a per-vehicle monthly subscription, with volume discounts. The two public price grids in this comparison give the order of magnitude: $4 to $10 per vehicle per month at Fleetio depending on the plan^[14], €4.90 per vehicle per month for the Cegid Notilus Fleet + ANTAI module, or €2.50 for ANTAI fines management alone^[17]. Telematics solutions add hardware (devices and installation), which weighs at the start. Michelin Connected Fleet says the cost depends on the number of vehicles, the features activated and the level of support^[5].

The trap is not in the published tariff but in the hidden costs: ERP integration, training, device maintenance, add-on modules. At Cegid Notilus, digitising supporting documents with legally admissible archiving is an option billed separately, from €1.50 per active profile per month^[17]. Ask for a total cost projected over three to five years, integration included: that figure, not the catalogue price, is what separates two offers.

1) What is the size and composition of your fleet? An SMB with 20 to 60 vehicles and no workshop will find what it needs in FleetNote, Avrios or the Fleetio Essential plan. A large mixed fleet (leased, owned, vans) leans towards WinFlotte or GAC Car Fleet for their budget rigour. An intensive field fleet will go to Geotab, Webfleet or Michelin Connected Fleet. A park mixing vehicles and construction equipment will look at Fleeti, which covers both^[8].

2) Do your employees drive their own vehicles? If so, mileage allowances enter the scope. Cegid Notilus calculates mileage allowances in its expense report module^[6], which a purely mechanical tool does not.

3) How much time do you want to spend on administration? Fleet management automation bears mostly on three repetitive tasks. Driver designation after an infringement goes through an ANTAI connection at Optimum, Avrios and Phoenix^[9][7][11]. Mail sorting is entrusted to AI at Avrios. Driver declarations go through a mobile fleet management app: mycarfleet at GAC^[15], Driver App at Chevin^[10]. If you do not want to administer at all, Phoenix's outsourced management answers that need.

4) Is your fleet going electric? If so, the software must handle charging on the same footing as fuel, with the same per-vehicle analysis. A fleet that adds one tool per cost item (telematics on one side, charging on another, fuel on a third) rebuilds the very fragmentation it was trying to remove.

Fleet management software calculates a TCO from what you feed it. Yet fuel, charging and tolls arrive through three different channels: fuel card statements, charging operator invoices, toll badge statements. If each arrives in its own format, the software inherits the fragmentation instead of resolving it. Before buying software, look at how your fleet expenses will enter it: by vehicle, by driver, with the associated mileage and the VAT detail of each line.

This is where the Greenway fleet expense platform, which we publish, sits. It does not replace fleet management software: no telematics and no vehicle geolocation. It manages multi-network fuel and charging cards, with caps, expense categories and schedules that can be changed in real time, and Ulys light-vehicle toll badges in the same interface (heavy goods vehicle badges are handled through support). The driver enters the mileage and their code at the pump, which makes it possible to track consumption by driver and by vehicle from fill-ups. CO₂ is estimated for each expense according to the merchant category, not calculated trip by trip.

On the integration side, a single connector exists today: the export of expenses to GAC Car Fleet, the fleet management software of GAC Technology. For accounting, the exports are files ready to import. If your fleet software is not GAC Car Fleet, plan for a file import. Not a synchronisation.
