Fleet TrackerFleet Tracker vs a spreadsheet
You could use a spreadsheet. Here's why people don't stick with it.
A spreadsheet is free and familiar. It's also usually the thing people are trying to escape when they find Fleet Tracker.
The honest comparison
Where a spreadsheet falls short.
Spreadsheets are genuinely useful for simple lists. The problems usually show up as your collection grows, or as more than one person needs to use it.
Common spreadsheet problems
- No reminders when tax, MOT or insurance is due
- Formulas break when someone edits the wrong cell
- Hard to share safely with a partner or co-owner
- Documents and receipts live somewhere else entirely
- No easy way to see cost or value trends over time
Side by side
What changes with Fleet Tracker.
Spreadsheet
You remember to check it. Reminders depend on you. Documents live in email. Sharing means sending a copy that immediately goes out of date.
Fleet Tracker
It reminds you. Documents stay with the vehicle. Shared access stays in sync, because everyone's looking at the same record, not a copy.
