## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-05 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer
> 
> For most trades businesses the honest answer is: you probably don't want "fleet management software" in the enterprise sense. There are two different products that both get called that, and picking the wrong category is the usual mistake.
> 
> **If you want vehicle tracking + maintenance (pure fleet/telematics):**
> 
> 1. **Azuga** - my default pick for a trades fleet of roughly 5-40 vans. It's the one consistently rated easiest to set up and run, and nearly half its reviews come from small businesses rather than trucking. Plug-in OBD devices, driver scorecards, no heavy install. ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/azuga-fleet-vs-samsara), [Expert Market](https://expertmarket.com/fleet-management/software))
> 2. **Verizon Connect** - the most feature-complete and the most commonly ranked #1 overall: maintenance alerts, fuel-card integration, strong reporting, from around $20/vehicle/month. Caveat: its review scores are mediocre (3.8/5) and the complaints are about contracts and support, not features. Good if you want depth and will negotiate hard. ([Expert Market](https://expertmarket.com/fleet-management/software))
> 3. **Fleetio** - different animal: it's maintenance
