The big fork is whether you want a standalone fleet platform or something bolted onto the field service software you already use - start there.\n\n## If you already run field service software\n\n**1. ServiceTitan Fleet Pro** - if you're on ServiceTitan, this is the obvious first call. Built specifically for the trades: GPS tracking, geofencing, GPS-verified timesheets that flow into payroll, and unauthorized-use detection. The timesheet integration alone usually justifies it, because you stop arguing about arrival times.\n\n**2. Force by Mojio** - the native GPS add-on for both **Housecall Pro** (~$20/vehicle/month, no contract, plug-in 4G/LTE device) and **Jobber** (Premium/Pro plans, US). Cheapest credible path to live van locations on your dispatch map. Thin on deep fleet analytics, but for 5-15 vans that's usually fine. Jobber also integrates **FleetSharp** if you want driver-behavior scoring and route replay.\n\nDon't buy a separate fleet platform before checking this - duplicate systems are how trades businesses end up paying twice for the same dot on a map.\n\n## Standalone fleet platforms\n\n**3.
