No longer manage pool vehicles with Excel or Outlook
Why managing pool vehicles with Excel and Outlook is a thing of the past.
Stop managing poolcars with Excel & Outlook!
Companies often believe that Outlook or Excel is enough to manage pool vehicles in the fastest way, but in reality, maintaining the Excel document or Outlook calendar wastes a lot of time that can be better invested.
Overall, Excel and Outlook are limited as fleet management tools and can lead to inefficiencies, errors, and security risks. Companies that want to ensure effective and efficient fleet operations should invest in specialized fleet management solutions that offer more comprehensive features and automation. fleetster offers comprehensive software solutions in addition to pool vehicle management software.
Advantages of a software for pool vehicle management:
App & Web Bookings
Users can book pool cars directly from their smartphone or browser, and administrators can prevent bookings by setting specific permissions or authorizing bookings later.
Process & Automation
Booking a pool car also means checking driver's licenses or maintaining a logbook, all of which can be done entirely digitally in the software.
No double bookings
Nothing is worse than double booking a vehicle, especially during important customer appointments. This case does not occur using the fleetster software, because it is impossible for two people to book the same vehicle at the same time.
Automatic reposting
If a driver is late, fleetster will look for alternatives to rebook. If another pool vehicle is available, fleetster will rebook the trip.
Key Management
fleetster takes care of the key handover so that keys do not get lost. You can also automate the key handover with the help of an Electronic Key Cabinet.
Data security
Since professional software assigns specific rights to specific roles, fleetster users can only see what they have access to. All data is stored in a high-security facility in Frankfurt.

Limited functionality
Excel & Outlook offer limited functionality for managing a fleet of vehicles, which can lead to limitations in collecting, analyzing and processing vehicle data.
Manual effort
Managing a fleet with Excel or Outlook requires a lot of manual effort, which increases the risk of errors and makes the process inefficient.
Lack of automation
Tasks such as creating reports, monitoring maintenance intervals, or tracking vehicle utilization must be done manually, wasting time and resources.
Lack of integration
Integrating data from multiple sources and merging them into a single system is difficult with Excel and Outlook.
Difficult scalability
With Excel or Outlook, managing a growing fleet becomes increasingly complex and confusing.
Security risks
Excel or Outlook files can be vulnerable to security breaches, especially if sensitive information such as vehicle data or driver data is included.
