EcoFleet
EcoFleet runs a waste collection fleet. It schedules jobs to vehicles and drivers, records what was collected and where it was disposed of, tracks fuel and maintenance per vehicle, and turns completed work into invoices — so the operational side and the accounting side stay one system.
The daily cycle
| Step | Screen | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Schedule | Job | A collection is booked to a vehicle, driver and location. |
| 2. Run | Job Log | Start and end times, distance, fuel used and loads recorded. |
| 3. Collect | Waste Collection | What was collected, its type and where it was disposed of. |
| 4. Bill | Job | Completed work becomes a customer invoice. |
Keeping the fleet running
| Screen | What it tracks |
|---|---|
| Fuel Log | Litres, cost and odometer per fill, per vehicle. |
| Maintenance | Servicing and repairs, with the next due date and odometer. |
| Vehicles | The fleet, with capacity, consumption rate and insurance expiry. |
| Drivers | Who drives what, and when their licence expires. |
Licence and insurance expiry dates are the two fields that stop a fleet. Both sit on records you would otherwise only open when something changes — worth checking on a schedule rather than when a vehicle is pulled over.
