A Fleet Management System, usually abbreviated to an “FMS”, is a system in which an individual or business can view all their vehicles live through a software system.

Beakon has an online ‘cloud based’ system, which makes it easy for you to access our system from your own computer via the internet, as well as other places you may regularly login from, for example your colleagues computers, your mobile phone, your home computer, and even your iPad or tablet. Many other companies do not offer an online web system, meaning you can only access the system from your one single computer. The most basic function of a Fleet Management System is the tracking feature. That is, being able to see your vehicles live on a map at one time.

Fleet Management Systems are typically used by businesses to achieve cost reductions and protect their assets, as well as improve business efficiency. In many cases, a GPS tracker will typically pay for itself.

According to research shown by the Berg Institute, there are 4 million fleet management units in Europe today, with hundreds more being used every year in New Zealand and Australia.
