Tracking forklifts and mobile assets relies on devices suited to each type of equipment. For powered machines such as forklifts, a device or manufacturer telematics reports location, operating hours and alerts. For non-powered assets (containers, racks, trailers), standalone IoT sensors provide location indoors and outdoors. Fleeti brings these sources together on one map, turning a static spreadsheet inventory into a live inventory that field teams can check in real time.

Engine hours count the time a machine is switched on, including idling periods when it runs without producing anything. Actual working time measures real use, the moments when the machine is actually doing its job. This distinction matters in industry: it lets you plan maintenance on real wear, identify under-used machines and cut fuel or energy costs linked to idling. Fleeti reports both indicators for every asset.

Under-use is tackled by measuring each asset's real utilisation: the data shows which equipment sits idle, so you can reassign it or avoid unnecessary purchases. Theft and unauthorised movements are tackled with on-site geofencing, out-of-hours movement alerts and, on compatible assets, remote immobilisation. On a large or open industrial site, these measures reveal losses that went unnoticed for years and put you back in control of your fleet.

Yes, that is exactly Fleeti's approach. Most tools manage either production assets or the vehicle fleet, which forces industrial companies to switch between several systems. Fleeti brings both onto the same data: forklifts and production equipment on one side, shuttles, vans and company cars on the other, with the related maintenance, costs and compliance. This removes double entry and gives a single, comparable view of fleet costs, site by site.

Fleeti consolidates data from several sites and countries on a single platform, while leaving each site free to run its day-to-day operations. At African sites, the platform addresses specific needs that few providers cover: fuel monitoring for generators and machinery, equipment protection on large or remote sites, and management of fleets spread across several countries. Head office gets a consolidated view that can be compared across subsidiaries, with the same tool everywhere.

No. Fleeti does not replace your production management software (MES, ERP) or warehouse management system (WMS). The platform focuses on the physical tracking of assets and the fleet: where they are, how they are used, when to service them and what they cost. Fleeti complements your business tools and can send them data via API to enrich your logistics analysis without duplicate entry.

Asset tracking means locating and monitoring the physical equipment on an industrial site in real time: forklifts, containers, racks, tools and mobile machines. In an Industry 4.0 approach, it turns a static spreadsheet inventory into a live inventory you can check at any time. It relies on technologies suited to each asset (manufacturer telematics, devices, IoT sensors, BLE) and feeds utilisation, maintenance and safety indicators. Fleeti centralises this data on one platform and links it to your vehicle fleet management.

Automating your inventory means replacing manual counts and Excel files with continuous, automatic tracking of every asset. Each piece of equipment with a tracking device reports its position and use in real time, which ends searches, makes data reliable and reveals under-used assets. With Fleeti, you have a live inventory of your mobile and stationary assets, with movement alerts and utilisation reports that can be exported to your ERP or production management tool via API.
