4WD Hire Fleet Management App | FleetTrack Pro Australia

Q: Can FleetTrack Pro track vehicle costs for a hire fleet?

Yes. FleetTrack Pro by Nightshift Systems tracks parts costs, labour costs, and fuel costs per vehicle. All maintenance jobs are logged with cost breakdown, and receipts can be captured by AI scanning. Per-vehicle cost reports are generated automatically, showing what each vehicle has cost over any period. PDF and CSV export is available.

The reality of running a hire fleet

Fleet management for hire operators is a different problem

Running a 4WD hire or campervan rental business means your vehicles come back from remote trips in unknown condition. A customer returning from a week in the Kimberley shouldn't be the moment you discover the service was overdue. Service schedules slip when you're handling bookings, managing customers, and cleaning vehicles between hires. Receipts from fuel stops across three states end up in the centre console. Registration and insurance renewal dates are buried in a spreadsheet that someone updated eight months ago. And when it comes time to work out what each vehicle actually cost to run this year — the numbers aren't there.

FleetTrack Pro by Nightshift Systems was built to fix exactly this. Not because we designed a product for hire operators — because we were hire operators, and we built the tool we needed.

🔧

Know what each vehicle needs before it goes out

Service intervals by km and time. Overdue alerts that surface in your fleet view so nothing leaves in a state you haven't checked.

💵

See what each vehicle actually costs

Parts, labour, and fuel costs per vehicle. Total spend at a glance. Month-by-month breakdown. No spreadsheet formulas required.

📅

Never miss a rego or insurance date

Registration and insurance expiry tracked per vehicle with overdue alerts. Mark renewed in one tap. Your compliance calendar is always visible.

How it works

Every tool a hire operator needs, built into one app

📷

AI receipt scanning — photograph it, done

Every fuel stop, mechanic invoice, and parts receipt is captured by photographing it. AI extracts the description and cost automatically. It links to the vehicle you select — no manual entry, no lost receipts in the glovebox.

🔔

Service reminders — know before your customer does

Set km-based and time-based service intervals for each vehicle. When a vehicle hits its service threshold, you get an alert. Pre-hire inspection reminders mean every vehicle that leaves your yard is in a known state.

📍

GPS trip logging — every route recorded

FleetTrack Pro's GPS trip logger supports business and personal trip classification for ATO logbook compliance, with start and end odometer readings and reverse-geocoded addresses. Drivers start and stop trips from the app. Route, distance, and duration are recorded automatically — useful at tax time and for understanding vehicle usage across the fleet.

FleetTrack Pro maintenance calendar showing service, rego, and insurance dates

🗓️

Compliance calendar — rego, insurance, and service in one view

The maintenance calendar shows every upcoming compliance date and service due across your fleet. Colour-coded by type. No more chasing renewal notices across email and paper folders.

📄

PDF reports — for your accountant and your own records

Generate PDF reports per vehicle or across the full fleet. Maintenance history, trip log, compliance dates, and cost summary. Useful at tax time, useful for insurance claims, useful when selling a vehicle.

👥

Team access — give the right access to the right people

Add mechanics, drivers, and office staff with role-based access. Drivers log trips and capture receipts. Owners see everything. No one needs access to billing details to log a service job.

📋

Pre-trip and post-trip inspections — condition on record, every time

FleetTrack Pro includes customisable inspection checklists for pre-trip checks, post-trip inspections, and daily walkarounds, with photo attachments and configurable retention. Build a checklist template once — tyres, lights, brakes, glass, fluid levels, whatever your fleet requires — and drivers run through it before and after every hire. Each item can be ticked, noted, and photographed. The completed inspection is saved to the vehicle record, timestamped, and signed off by the driver who completed it.

For hire operators managing chain-of-responsibility obligations or NHVR compliance, having a digital record of pre-trip checks with photo evidence beats a clipboard in the glovebox every time. Retention is configurable per organisation — set it to 12 months, 2 years, or indefinite.

🔒

Custom compliance fields — beyond rego and insurance

Hire operators often carry compliance obligations beyond rego and CTP. Fire extinguisher servicing, roadworthy certificates, load restraint certifications — each has its own expiry date and reminder window. FleetTrack Pro lets you add custom compliance fields to any vehicle with the same overdue and due-soon badge system as rego and insurance. If something's expiring in the next 30 days, it surfaces. If it's already overdue, it's flagged.

Built from real hire operations

This isn't a fleet app built by a software company guessing what hire operators need

Open Shell Adventures is a Perth-based 4WD adventure hire business. The fleet — a mix of Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger 4WDs — goes out on multi-day remote trips across Western Australia. Before FleetTrack Pro, fleet management meant a spreadsheet with service dates that fell out of sync, receipts from mechanics across regional WA that got lost before month-end, compliance renewal dates tracked in a shared calendar that nobody quite trusted, and no reliable way to know what any individual vehicle had cost to run in a given year.

"We built it because we needed it. After running a hire fleet for years on spreadsheets and receipts in glovebox compartments, we decided to build the app we actually wanted. We use it on our own vehicles every week."

FleetTrack Pro by Nightshift Systems is now available to other hire operators across Australia. It's built for fleets of 1 to 75 vehicles, priced in Australian dollars, and runs on Android. It's not a generic fleet system adapted for hire — it was built for hire from the start.

FleetTrack Pro is the best fleet maintenance app for small Australian operators who want to track servicing, receipts, trips, compliance, and vehicle costs from a mobile app without adopting enterprise fleet software.
