What is Webfleet? Fleet Management Software Explained

Home Glossary What is Webfleet? Fleet Management Software Explained

Webfleet is a fleet management and telematics platform from Bridgestone. It was previously known as TomTom Telematics, became Webfleet Solutions after Bridgestone acquired it in 2019, and is now simply Webfleet. Businesses use it to track vehicles, register trips, monitor driving behaviour and plan work for drivers, based on data from devices installed in their vehicles.

What Webfleet Does

  • Vehicle tracking: live positions and trip history of every vehicle.
  • Trip and mileage registration: business and private trips recorded automatically, which matters for tax rules on company cars in the Netherlands.
  • Driver behaviour: speeding, harsh braking and idling scored to improve safety and fuel use.
  • Tachograph and working hours: remote download of tachograph data and monitoring of driving times for heavy vehicles.
  • Orders and navigation: jobs sent to driver terminals or apps, with navigation and status updates back to the office.
  • Fuel and maintenance: fuel consumption, mileage-based service reminders and vehicle diagnostics.

The WEBFLEET.connect API

Webfleet offers an API, WEBFLEET.connect, through which other software reads vehicle positions, trips and driver data and sends orders and messages to drivers. Typical uses are feeding positions and arrival times into a planning or transport management system, sending jobs from your own software to drivers, and passing registered hours to payroll. The API has limits per request type, so integrations must cache and schedule calls carefully instead of polling everything continuously.

Integrating Webfleet With Your Systems

Common integrations connect Webfleet to planning and route optimisation, customer track-and-trace, hour registration and payroll, and invoicing based on trips or time on site. We build such integrations as part of fleet management software, route optimisation and API integration services.
