A Fleetio alternative that does more than maintenance
Dispatch, bookings, and customer leads — not just a maintenance log
Fleetio is a well-regarded maintenance management platform — if tracking service schedules, inspections, and repair costs is the whole job, it does it well. But maintenance is one line item in running a fleet. PRIME combines maintenance logging with a dispatch board, bookings, driver management, and a public directory that sends your fleet customer leads — at a comparable per-vehicle price.

Who each platform is built for
PRIME is a fit if you…
- Run 5–50 vehicles — NEMT, paratransit, shuttle, or courier work
- Need dispatch and bookings in the same tool as your maintenance records
- Want one login for drivers, vehicles, jobs, and billing instead of a maintenance tool plus add-ons
- Want a free tier you can run a real (small) fleet on — not just a trial
- Like the idea of a marketplace listing that sends paying customer leads to your fleet
Fleetio is a fit if you…
- Already have dispatch covered elsewhere and need a dedicated maintenance system
- Want deep parts inventory, work order, and shop-management workflows
- Run maintenance across a larger mixed fleet and need fuel-card / telematics integrations
- Prefer a tool laser-focused on service history and inspection compliance
Moving from a maintenance-only tool
Keep your service history
Export your vehicle and service records, then log new maintenance in PRIME from day one. Vehicle profiles, reminders, and checklists carry over conceptually — same workflow, wider scope.
Add dispatch without adding a tool
The reason fleets outgrow maintenance-only software is the spreadsheet next to it. PRIME's dispatch board and bookings live beside your maintenance log — no second subscription.
Free tier to evaluate
Register up to 5 drivers free and run real trips through the dispatch board before moving your whole fleet. No sales call required.
Maintenance plus dispatch plus leads — one subscription
Start free with up to 5 drivers. See whether a single operations platform beats a maintenance tool and a stack of spreadsheets.
