Every vehicle, forklift and trailer in one register
One register for everything your organisation drives, rides and lifts, with its documents, its contract and the next date that expires. Cars and vans sit next to forklifts, trailers and e-bikes, and every deadline raises a job before it turns into a cost.
- Predict asset issues, prevent downtime before it happens
- Meets ISO 27001, GDPR and the AI Act. Data in the EU
- Live in weeks, not months

Illustrative data. Assets, inspection dates, documents and dashboards are configurable in the product.
Built for a mixed fleet, not just cars
Most facility teams do not run a fleet of one kind. They run a handful of lease cars, a few service vans, some equipment in the warehouse and a couple of bikes, spread over four systems and one spreadsheet.
Service vans and pool vehicles
Operational equipment
Trailers, e-bikes and the rest
A register with a memory and an alarm clock
Every asset gets a record: registration or asset tag, make and model, ownership, cost centre, the person or location it sits with, and the documents that prove it is road or floor legal. The record keeps its history, so the damage from two years ago, the garage that fixed it and the invoice that followed are still there when the lease ends or the machine is sold. Nothing depends on the one colleague who knew where the folder was.
From a spreadsheet to a system of record
One register for every asset type
Vehicles measured in kilometres and equipment measured in running hours live side by side, each with the fields that class actually needs. You stop maintaining one tab per category.
Documents on the asset
Registration certificate, insurance policy, lease contract, inspection report and damage photos are attached to the record. The person answering a question at four in the afternoon does not have to be granted access to a drive first.
Deadlines that chase themselves
Inspection, insurance, certificate and contract dates are watched by the same rules engine that runs your tickets. The reminder lands with a named owner while there is still time to act on it.
A breakdown becomes a work order
Damage, a warning light or a failed inspection turns into a work order with an owner, a vendor and a cost, in the same queue as a leaking roof. The vehicle is booked out for the morning, so nobody schedules a job on it.
Costs that add up per asset
Maintenance, tyres, damage excess, fines and subscriptions post against the asset, so total cost per vehicle over a period is a report rather than an evening of reconciliation.
Drivers, licences and fines
Who drove what and when, which licence categories they hold and when those expire. When a penalty notice arrives at the registration holder, the assignment history tells you who was behind the wheel that day.
The dates that cost money when they slip
- Periodic roadworthiness tests, APK in the Netherlands, MOT in the UK, HU in Germany, each on its own national interval
- Statutory inspection of work equipment, including the yearly forklift inspection under Arbobesluit article 7.4a
- Tachograph downloads, driver cards every 28 days and vehicle units every 90 days, for the vans that are in scope
- Insurance renewals, green cards, and lease end dates with the contracted mileage behind them
- Driving licence expiry and the periodic checks your insurer or your duty of care asks for
- Seasonal tyre changes, and which set is in storage at which fitter
The workflows behind the register
Requesting a vehicle is a form, not an email
Somebody orders from the catalogue, a service van, a pool car, an e-bike, and the request already asks the questions that decide it: site, cost centre, expected mileage, start date. It routes to fleet and to the budget holder instead of sitting in an inbox.
Approval is a step, not a side channel
The approver, the timestamp and the time it took are recorded on the request. Once approved, the asset record, the driver assignment and the order to the leasing company all follow from that same request, so nothing is retyped and nothing is invented.
Handover with a checklist both sides sign
Odometer, damage, keys, charge card, winter set and accessories are ticked off with photos whenever a vehicle changes hands. The next argument about a scratch has a dated record behind it instead of two memories.
Inspections that recur on their own
Every asset class carries its own inspection schedule and checklist, so the yearly forklift inspection and the van's service are generated, assigned and closed like any other planned job. Nobody has to remember to raise them.
Damage, claim and repair in one thread
A damage report captures the photos, the excess, the insurer reference and who was driving at the time, then becomes the repair work order with the garage. The claim and the repair stop living in two different systems.
End of lease without a surprise invoice
The return workflow runs the return inspection, holds contracted mileage against the real reading, lists the recharges you can still do something about, and blocks the fuel card on the day the vehicle goes back.
Who has which vehicle, until when
- One lane per vehicle or machine, with the driver, team or project holding it and the date it comes back
- Lease end and hand-back windows on the same axis as the assignments, so the gap between them is visible long before it is a problem
- Planned maintenance, inspections and tyre changes blocked out, so nobody promises a van that is already booked into the garage that week
- Pool vehicles and shared equipment reserved straight from the timeline, with a conflict check
- Day, week and month, filtered by site, cost centre or asset class
What the fleet dashboard answers
Four numbers a facility manager gets asked for, each one a tile you can point at rather than a figure you assemble the night before.
Inspections in date
The share of the fleet whose statutory inspections and certificates are current, instead of a best guess.
In Gfacility · The inspections in date tile on the fleet dashboard, with the expiring list behind it.
Cost per asset
What each vehicle or machine actually costs per month once maintenance, tyres, damage and fines are included.
In Gfacility · The cost per asset per month tile, broken out by lease, energy, maintenance, tyres and damage.
Expiries in the next 30 days
How much lands on your desk this month, so the workload is planned rather than discovered.
In Gfacility · The expiries over the next 12 months chart, with the current month broken out.
Downtime days per month
Days a vehicle or machine was off the road or off the floor, and whether it was planned maintenance or a surprise.
In Gfacility · The downtime days per month tile, split by planned and unplanned work orders.
Fuel, charging and who holds which card
- A card register: which fuel or charge card belongs to which vehicle and driver, and when it was issued, swapped or blocked
- Cards blocked as part of offboarding and of the end-of-lease return, instead of three months later
- Transactions imported and matched to the vehicle, the driver and the reading at the pump or the charger
- Consumption per vehicle, litres or kWh per 100 km, and cost per kilometre, comparable across the whole fleet
- Outliers worth a question: a card used while the vehicle sat in the workshop, or a fill larger than the tank
- Home charging reimbursed per driver from the same records, and fuel volumes exported for scope 1 reporting
Why fleet belongs in your facility platform
The work orders are already here
A damaged van is a job with an owner, a vendor, a cost and an SLA. That module exists, with your technicians and suppliers already in it. Fleet reuses it rather than adding a second place where jobs live.
So is the contract register
A lease is a contract with an end date, a notice period and a supplier, exactly like your cleaning contract. It sits in the same register, with the same renewal alerts, so no lease auto-renews because it was filed somewhere else.
Automation does the chasing
A rule can flag every inspection expiring inside 60 days, raise the work order, assign the garage and notify the driver. Set it once, and the calendar in someone's head stops being a single point of failure.
One estate, one asset model
Buildings, installations, equipment and vehicles use the same asset engine, with your own fields and typed relationships. A forklift inspection sits next to an installation inspection, in one plan and one report.
Costs, contracts and the CO2 question
- Total cost per asset over any period, with maintenance, tyres, damage excess and fines on the same record
- Contracted mileage against the actual reading, months before the end-of-contract recharge lands
- Fuel and charge card transactions imported and matched to the vehicle and the driver who used it
- Fuel volumes and mileage exported for scope 1 reporting, if your organisation reports under CSRD or supplies customers who do
- Garage and vendor performance measured from the work orders they actually handled, not from an impression

Fleet management questions
Fleet management
Is Gfacility a telematics system?
No, and we would rather say so on the page than in the first demo. We do not sell a box for the dashboard, we do not track where a vehicle is, and we do not score how it is driven. Gfacility is the administrative record: the register, the documents, the dates, the jobs and the costs. If you need live positions, route optimisation or driver-behaviour analysis, pair us with a telematics platform and keep Gfacility as the record. Because there is no hardware and no per-vehicle device subscription, the register also covers the trailers, forklifts and e-bikes nobody fits a device to.
What does that mean for privacy and our works council?
It makes the conversation a lot shorter. In the Netherlands and Germany a system capable of monitoring employees needs works-council consent and a privacy assessment before it goes live, and a register that holds no location or driving-behaviour data simply does not carry that weight. Driver names, licence data and penalty notices are still personal data, so they get the same access control, retention rules and EU hosting as everything else in the platform.
Can people request a vehicle themselves?
Yes. A vehicle or a pool booking is an orderable item in the service catalogue, with its own intake questions and its own approval step. The request that gets approved is the same record that creates the asset, the driver assignment and the order to the leasing company, so the request and the vehicle never drift apart.
Can we see who has which vehicle over time?
That is the timeline view: one lane per vehicle or machine, showing who holds it and until when, with lease end, hand-back windows and planned maintenance drawn on the same axis. It is how you spot that a van is promised to a project during the week it is booked into the garage.
Can it handle fuel and charge cards?
Yes. Cards are registered against the vehicle and the driver, blocked as part of offboarding and of the end-of-lease return, and their transactions can be imported and matched to the vehicle and the reading. That gives consumption per vehicle in litres or kWh per 100 km, cost per kilometre, and the outliers worth asking about.
Can we manage equipment as well as vehicles?
Yes, and it is the reason the module exists in a facility platform. Equipment is measured in running hours rather than kilometres and carries its own statutory inspection certificates, so those are first-class fields rather than a workaround in a vehicle record.
How is this different from our lease company's portal?
The portal shows one lessor's leased vehicles and ends when the contract does. It has nothing on your owned vans, your equipment, a second leasing company, your fines or your damage history. This register is lessor-neutral, covers the whole estate and keeps the history after the lease ends.
Can we keep using our telematics platform?
Yes. Keep it for location and driving behaviour, and use Gfacility for the register, the expiry dates, the work orders and the costs. Odometer readings can be imported so service intervals stay accurate without anyone mailing round for readings.
We run our fleet in a spreadsheet today. What does the switch look like?
The spreadsheet is usually the import. Columns become fields, one row becomes one asset, and the dates you were tracking by eye become watched dates with an owner. Most customers are live in a week, and the first thing they see is how many deadlines were already inside 30 days.
How are mileage and running hours kept up to date?
Three ways, and you can mix them: entered by the driver or technician on the record, imported from a fuel or telematics export, or captured when a work order is closed. Service intervals and contracted mileage are then measured against the real reading.
Does it work for vehicles in more than one country?
Yes. Inspection intervals differ per country, APK in the Netherlands, MOT in the UK and HU in Germany among them, so the inspection date is held per asset with its own rule and reminder rather than assuming one national schedule for the whole fleet.
