Fleet Management Database Template

Overview

This Fleet Management template allows you to track your entire vehicle inventory, monitor driver assignments, and control operational costs in a single workspace. It replaces fragmented tracking methods with a structured system that connects every vehicle to its specific history, ensuring no maintenance request or fuel receipt gets lost.

The database is built around a central Vehicles inventory that links directly to Users (drivers), Maintenance records, and Fuel Logs. This relational structure means you can instantly see total costs per vehicle via rollups, view current odometer readings, and access a complete history of repairs and expenses without navigating between tabs.

Built-in AI features automate manual data entry tasks. The database can automatically look up vehicle specs like tank capacity from the web based on the VIN or model, and intelligently classify incoming maintenance reports by urgency level to help you prioritize repairs.

Why choose a Fleet Management database over Google Sheets

Spreadsheets often become unmanageable as fleet data grows, leading to broken formulas and scattered files.

The power of Softr Databases

Unlike Google Sheets, Softr Databases use a relational structure where 'one table equals one object.' This allows you to link a single vehicle to hundreds of fuel logs and maintenance records without creating duplicate rows or relying on fragile VLOOKUPs. Column types are strictly enforced—ensuring dates are actual dates and costs are formatted as currency—which prevents the data errors common in shared spreadsheets.

Core features and functionality

This template offers capabilities that static spreadsheets cannot match. It includes native rollup fields to automatically calculate total maintenance spend per vehicle and utilizes Database AI agents to enrich your data—such as fetching engine specifications from the live web or suggesting repair actions based on reported issues.

• Logistics Coordinators: Assign drivers to vehicles and monitor availability in real time.
• Small Business Owners: Centralize asset management to reduce insurance and repair overhead.

The true power of this database is unlocked when you use the interface builder to create a client-facing app. You can build a secure portal where drivers can log fuel receipts and report maintenance issues from their phones. With granular users and permissions, drivers see only their assigned vehicles, while admins retain significantly better control and visibility over the entire fleet.
