Direct answer
Choose Fleeti if your fleet is not limited to HGVs and you want to manage the position, true cost and compliance of every tractor unit, trailer, van, service car or machine in a single tool. Fleeti Telematics and Fleeti Fleet Management attach each expense to the right asset, and tachograph files are downloaded remotely.
Platform Science, which took over Trimble, may suit you if your business is entirely road haulage and you want to keep your current driver tablets and operating tools. According to Trimble, its transport telematics business, Europe included, has belonged to Platform Science since 10 February 2025.
The right choice therefore does not depend only on the feature list. It depends on the question you are trying to answer: extend an operating tool designed for trucks, or bring the whole fleet and its costs together on one platform.
Key takeaway
A change of vendor is the right moment to take stock: who is your point of contact, what is the roadmap for your products, and what each vehicle really costs. Compare on your own fleet before your next renewal date.

Why Fleeti
Three concrete reasons, illustrated in the platform.
Compare on your own data
Ask Fleeti and Platform Science, which now manages your account, to work on the same sample, then put the same questions to both. You will compare results, not feature lists.
The fair pilot
15 tractor units or rigid trucks, 5 trailers and a few light vehicles
Your fuel and toll cards over one month
A rental or lease-purchase contract
An ANTAI fine to designate
Tachograph files for the period, downloaded remotely
Then measure: consolidation time, the share of costs automatically attached to the right vehicle, the traceability of an invoice back to the cost centre, and the exports for accounting and payroll.
