Overview

Fleetbase brings operational modules together on a shared data layer. A Storefront order, for instance, can flow into a Fleet-Ops dispatch and a Ledger journal entry, helping teams connect commerce with delivery and finance rather than handling each step in isolation. The platform is made by a company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Singapore, and supports cloud and self-hosted deployment.

Fleetbase is released under AGPL-3.0. The license requires network-deployed modifications to be made available under the same terms unless a commercial license is used, an important consideration for organizations adapting the software for proprietary services.

Key features

Dispatch and fulfillment

Fleet-Ops combines dispatch, real-time fleet tracking, configurable workflows and route optimization. Warehouse and inventory management, shipment tracking and order management broaden its reach across fulfillment. That range is useful to operators coordinating several stages of logistics, though teams needing only one of those functions may prefer a more focused system.

Modules, integrations and developer access

Fleetbase’s modules include Storefront, Pallet, Ledger, Navigator, identity and access management, developer tools and extensions, alongside Fleet-Ops. Integrations include Twilio, SendGrid, Slack, SAP, QuickBooks, Oracle, Tableau, Power BI, Stripe, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. API keys, webhooks, socket events, request logs, and separate sandbox and live environments give developers multiple ways to connect and manage programmatic access.

Driver tools and security

Navigator is an open-source driver app with turn-by-turn navigation, proof of delivery, fault reporting and live order communication. Fleetbase states that it encrypts data at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2+, uses role-based access controls, and conducts regular security assessments. These controls address important operational concerns, while the AGPL terms remain a separate consideration for teams modifying the platform.

Pricing

Fleetbase has a free support tier and a cloud plan priced at $29.00 per month, billed monthly. Cloud includes unlimited orders, unlimited users and every module, but the base price does not cover all usage: each driver, vehicle and storefront beyond the first adds $5.00 per month. Gateway-paid invoices cost $0.10 each; API calls and webhook sends cost $0.25 per 100,000, with the first 100,000 combined calls and sends free per period. The entry price is accessible for a small operation, but costs rise with fleet size, extra storefronts and metered activity.

Self-hosted implementation costs $2,500.00 per month as a one-time implementation fee. It includes deployment on customer servers or cloud, CI/CD setup, environment configuration and branding, a go-live handover, and data sovereignty. This is aimed at organizations requiring control over deployment and data; the fee is substantial compared with cloud entry pricing.

Community Support is free and includes documentation, Discord/GitHub and email support, without an SLA. Business Support is $1,000.00 per month with a 72-hour SLA, automatic security patches, email support and priority bug fixes. Developer Support is $3,500.00 per month with a 24-hour SLA, private Discord, weekly phone support, configuration assistance and troubleshooting. Fractional CTO support is $5,000.00 per month and adds a dedicated engineer, two-hour weekly CTO calls and proactive monitoring; its support offer also includes release management and strategic and roadmap reviews. Professional Services has custom pricing for development, integrations, workflow automation, data migration and white-label branding.

Platforms

Fleetbase supports web, Android, iOS, API and self-hosted deployment. That range accommodates both mobile driver workflows and organizations integrating or operating the system on their own infrastructure.

Who it's for

Fleetbase is built for logistics operators and developers, including courier companies, on-demand delivery platforms, e-commerce brands, field service providers and enterprise supply chains. It is best suited to teams that benefit from linking dispatch with commerce, warehouse activity and finance, and that can account for metered cloud usage or manage a self-hosted setup. A small team with few drivers may find the base cloud fee attractive, but should budget for the per-driver and per-vehicle charges.

Pros and cons

Connected operations: Shared module data can link storefront orders, dispatches and ledger entries, reducing separation between those workflows.
Broad logistics scope: Dispatch, tracking, routing, warehouse, inventory and order capabilities can serve operators managing more than last-mile delivery alone.
Flexible access: Cloud, self-hosted, mobile, web and API options support different deployment and integration needs.
Costs can stack: The cloud plan adds charges for drivers, vehicles, extra storefronts and usage beyond the included API/webhook allowance.
License requires attention: Network-deployed modifications must be shared under AGPL-3.0 unless covered by a commercial license.
Support with an SLA is costly: Business Support starts at $1,000.00 per month, while faster Developer Support costs $3,500.00 per month.

Verdict

Choose Fleetbase if your operation needs dispatch, driver, commerce, warehouse and finance workflows connected in one modular system, and you can plan around usage charges and AGPL-3.0. Look elsewhere if you need a narrowly scoped tool, want to avoid metered costs, or cannot accept the license terms for network-deployed modifications.
