The question asked, verbatim: best fleet management software for delivery firms

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Samsara recommended
   Samsara - my default recommendation if you have 20+ vehicles and want one vendor for GPS, AI dashcams, ELD compliance, and maintenance.
2. Motive mentioned
   Motive (formerly KeepTruckin) - the one I'd pit against Samsara head-to-head, and often the better value.
3. Verizon Connect mentioned
   Verizon Connect - I'd only put it on the list if you're already deep in Verizon or need its enterprise integrations.
4. Geotab mentioned
   Geotab - worth a bid if data ownership and customization matter more than polish.
5. Onfleet mentioned
   Onfleet - where I'd start for a courier or local delivery business.
6. Circuit mentioned
   Circuit for Teams - the cheapest credible option for small fleets (think 2-20 drivers).
7. Bringg mentioned
   Bringg or FarEye - enterprise only.
8. FarEye mentioned
   Bringg or FarEye - enterprise only.
9. Route4Me mentioned
   Route4Me - narrower, but the best pure route-optimization engine if you already have dispatch handled and just want better routes, including as an API.

The answer, as recorded

Quick note on how I'd frame it: "fleet management" splits into two different products, and most delivery firms end up buying one of each. One is **telematics/fleet ops** (GPS, dashcams, ELD/hours-of-service, maintenance, fuel, safety). The other is **last-mile dispatch and route optimization** (orders in, routes out, driver app, customer ETA texts, proof of delivery). Here's what I'd actually name in each. ## Telematics & fleet operations 1. **Samsara** - my default recommendation if you have 20+ vehicles and want one vendor for GPS, AI dashcams, ELD compliance, and maintenance. Best-in-class hardware and the cleanest admin UI; strong API if you need to pipe data elsewhere. Roughly $27/vehicle/month for tracking, ~$33 for the full fleet management tier, usually on a 3-year term. Highest satisfaction scores of the big three ([G2](https://www.g2.com/compare/samsara-vs-verizon-connect), [pricing comparison](https://www.costbench.com/compare/samsara-vs-verizon-connect/)). 2. **Motive** (formerly KeepTruckin) - the one I'd pit against Samsara head-to-head, and often the better value. Very strong on driver safety scoring and ELD, typically prices below Samsara, and the driver-facing app gets less pushback from drivers. Rated 4.4/5 across ~2,700 reviews ([G2](https://www.g2.com/compare/motive-technologies-vs-verizon-connect)). 3. **Verizon Connect** - I'd only put it on the list if you're already deep in Verizon or need its enterprise integrations. Feature coverage is broad, but it's the weakest of the three on user satisfaction (3.8/5) and locks you into minimum three-year contracts at higher cost ([G2](https://www.g2.com/compare/samsara-vs-verizon-connect)). 4. **Geotab** - worth a bid if data ownership and customization matter more than polish. Deep reporting, huge marketplace, sold through resellers so pricing is negotiable. The flip side is the interface is dated and you'll want someone technical to own it. ## Last-mile dispatch & routing 1. **Onfleet** - where I'd start for a courier or local delivery business. The driver app and customer tracking/notification experience are the best in the category, which is what actually drives your support ticket volume down ([comparison](https://www.clickpost.ai/blog/delivery-management-software)). 2. **Circuit for Teams** - the cheapest credible option for small fleets (think 2-20 drivers). Fast to set up, no sales process, good proof-of-delivery. Outgrows its usefulness past a few dozen drivers ([Circuit](https://getcircuit.com/teams/blog/samsara-competitors)). 3. **eLogii** - pick this when your routing constraints are genuinely hard: time windows, vehicle capacities, multi-depot, skill matching. More configurable than Onfleet, correspondingly more work to implement ([comparison](https://www.clickpost.ai/blog/delivery-management-software)). 4. **Bringg** or **FarEye** - enterprise only. If you're orchestrating 100+ drivers across owned fleet plus gig/3PL carriers, these are the two that handle carrier allocation properly. Expect six-figure contracts and a real implementation project ([comparison](https://www.clickpost.ai/blog/top-10-best-ecommerce-delivery-management-and-tracking-software)). 5. **Route4Me** - narrower, but the best pure route-optimization engine if you already have dispatch handled and just want better routes, including as an API. ## What I'd do Under ~15 vehicles: **Circuit for Teams** plus basic GPS trackers, and skip the enterprise telematics entirely. 15-100 vehicles: **Motive or Samsara** for compliance and safety, **Onfleet** for dispatch - run both through a 30-day pilot on a single depot before signing, because the three-year terms are the real cost here. Above that, add **eLogii** or **Bringg** depending on whether the complexity is in routing constraints or in multi-carrier allocation. One caveat on sourcing: searches on this topic surface a lot of low-quality SEO content and vendor-sponsored "top 10" lists, including several in my results I discarded. The rankings above lean on G2 review volume and my own knowledge of these products rather than those listicles, and I'd treat any specific price you see online as a starting point - all of these negotiate.
