A software review company has released its report/rankings/reviews of fleet management software programs. G2, a company that aggregates user reviews for business software, has released its Fall 2020 Grid Report. The report ranks fleet management software programs, based on actual user reviews.

Fleet Management Software Capabilities
Fleet management software is exactly as it sounds; it’s a computer application that allows the monitoring and management of several vehicles. The software typically stores and creates reports on the data it collects. For many, the software is helpful because it can locate vehicles, determine when vehicles need maintenance, identify safety concerns, keep track of registration and licensing deadlines, control certain vehicle functions through an app, reduce fuel waste, maintain logbooks, plan routes and other tasks. Essentially, fleet management software aims to improve driver safety, reduce costs and improve the efficiency of maintaining a fleet of vehicles.

Report Methodology
The report ranks products based on user reviews and social data, which is updated throughout the year. The reviews are created by users, who are authenticated and not allowed to review products created by their own current or former companies. All reviews are then checked manually. To be included in the report, a product must have at least 10 reviews from real users.
The product’s satisfaction rating is based on happiness with product attributes listed in user reviews, popularity, quality of reviews, age of reviews and so on.
Market presence is based on 15 metrics generated from user reviews, public information and third-party sources. Various metrics come into play, such as number of employees, reviews, web presence, social presence, growth, seller age and employee satisfaction and engagement. Scores are then put on a scale from 1-100.
