ofbiz for fleet management?
Hello.
A potential customer wants to replace everything he has (re. software for
managing his business). Among other things, he needs a fleet management
system. His cars all have a third-party fleet management system over GPRS
in working condition. However, this is just to see where the cars travel,
when they stop, when and how much fuel they tank etc. The inventory,
maintenance and accounting part is not in this system. Is there anybody
using ofbiz for this part of a fleet management something already
available or something built on top of ofbiz? Any advice on something like
this?

Hello,
I have a customer seeking an application that tracks his expenses on his
automobile pool (rent, maint., fuel, spare, ...). I have no idea about fleet
management, but it sounds like my requirments. I hope so, it would save me
time.

Hello.
Let's see if the customer bites the bait. If he does, I'll get back at
you. Main thing is, if this will get done, we don't have to start from
scratch.

Florin,
We have developed component on top of Ofbiz for managing fleet. At this time
we are not traking GPRS data but will sometime in future.
At this time we are using
1) PO
2) Parts Inventory management
3) Asset Tracking
4) Maintenance (Other wise called WorkOrders)
5) Labor Time tracking
6) Preventive Maintenance
7) Fuel consumption monitering.
8) Some Reports
Tools specific to Fleet management are still not in Ofbiz component,
eventually we'll put everything in there. The AssetMaint component in ofbiz
is good starting point. I can work with you to in enhancing this component.
Regards
Anil Patel

Anil Patel is the man to talk to for this. Chances are he'll see
these messages and may comment.
I know he is doing a fleet management application, and some of it has
even been contributed back to OFBiz. In order to make a more generic
solution he has even written a generic piece for general asset
management that has just gone back into OFBiz (in the new assetmaint
component).
This focuses on the part that I think you said you are looking for,
namely "inventory, maintenance and accounting". I may have
misunderstood that though. Whatever the case, that is the kind of
stuff OFBiz is best suited for.
I believe Anil was talking at one point about doing location tracking
and I know there are some structures for that.
So yeah, maybe this would work out well as a basis for what you need.
