Fleet Management Software Built Around Your Industry
A civil crew, a haulage operator, a mine site contractor and a hire yard all run fleets, but almost nothing about how they run them is the same. The asset mix is different, the compliance obligation is different, and the number that decides whether the job made money is different. TFO Software is one platform with nine connected programs, so each operation can build a system around the way it actually works, rather than changing its processes to fit software designed for something else.
Why fleet software needs to adapt to each industry
Most fleet platforms were built for one thing and stretched to cover the rest. A product designed around light vehicles handles a delivery van well and an excavator badly, because a machine that never sees a public road is measured in engine hours, not kilometres, and it needs a tracker that survives dirt rather than a plug in the dash. The opposite is just as true: a plant system that ignores heavy vehicle obligations leaves a transport operator exposed. The right question is not which platform has the most features, it is which one already understands the assets you run and the records you have to be able to produce.
Civil construction
Civil and construction fleets are mixed by nature. Utes, tippers, excavators, rollers, attachments and non-powered gear all sit on the same job, all cost money, and all need to be accounted for against a project. TFO Software puts every one of them in the same asset register, schedules servicing off real engine hours and kilometres rather than a calendar guess, and captures pre-starts, defects, dockets and timesheets from the field so labour and plant land on the right job code. Operators including SEE Civil, Shamrock and Conplant run their fleets on the platform.
Haulage and transport
For transport operators, the fleet record is a legal record. Chain of Responsibility under the Heavy Vehicle National Law places duties on the business, not just the driver, and the evidence that you took reasonable steps is exactly the material a fleet system already holds: pre-start checks, defect reports, repair history, service intervals and driver behaviour. TFO Software captures that as the work happens, so an audit request is a search rather than a scramble. Heavy vehicle hardware including IVMS, Dart 3 and G70 devices are supplied and supported in-house.
Mining and resources
Mine and quarry sites are the hardest environment a tracker will ever live in, and the most demanding compliance setting a contractor will ever work in. TFO Software’s Plant and Equipment tracker is designed and assembled in Australia and has proven itself from typical construction equipment through to mining and even dredging, with a battery tracker for non-powered, exposed assets. In-vehicle cameras compliant with BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance requirements can be configured to capture both the road and the driver, and contractor inductions are completed digitally before anyone arrives at the gate.
Plant and equipment hire
Hire is a different problem again: the asset earns only when it is out, and the money leaks in the gaps. FleetHire manages dry hire and wet hire on one dashboard, with live availability across the yard, on hire and off hire status on every item, and cross hired gear sitting alongside your own so nothing gets double booked. Hire invoicing integrates with Xero, and because hire sits in the same system as maintenance and tracking, a machine that comes back damaged or overdue is visible rather than discovered.
What stays the same in every industry
The industry decides which programs you switch on. What does not change is the foundation underneath them. Every program connects to the same asset register, so the numbers agree wherever you look, and you start with the modules you need and add the rest as you grow. Tracking, maintenance, compliance, hire, timesheets, dockets, fuel and reporting are all integrated on the same record, and the platform connects to Xero
so hire invoicing and approved timesheet data flow straight into accounting. Keeping the programs connected is what stops the familiar problem of four systems giving you four different answers about the same machine.
Hardware matched to the asset, not the other way around
A ute, a prime mover, an excavator and a site container do not need the same tracker, yet most suppliers carry one or two devices, forcing your fleet to fit the technology rather than matching the technology to your fleet. TFO Software carries a device for each job: light vehicle units that fit in minutes, hardwired trackers for heavy vehicles, ruggedised plant trackers, battery trackers for non-powered assets and dashcams. Every device runs on the 4G-LTE network, and a WiFi Tracker is available that connects over WiFi with the 4G-LTE network as its backup. Every device comes with a fitting guide and QR code activation, and is backed by a 24-month warranty.
Why Australian operators choose TFO Software
TFO Software is Australian built and developed in-house by its own team in Mooloolaba, Queensland, with no outsourced development and no black boxes. It started because the trackers available to the construction industry were unreliable and dropped data, and it grew into a nine program suite because the industry kept asking for more. Support is included for the life of your subscription, there are no lock-in contracts, and you can put the platform on your own gear with a 14-day free trial before committing to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still Got questions?
Which industries does TFO Software support?
TFO Software is built for Australian working fleets in civil construction, haulage and transport, mining and resources, and plant and equipment hire. The platform is used across mixed fleets that combine light vehicles, heavy vehicles, plant and non-powered assets.
Do I need a different system for vehicles and plant?
No. Every vehicle, truck, machine and non-powered asset sits in the same asset register, with service intervals set per asset so a truck can run on kilometres while an excavator runs on engine hours.
Can I use only the parts I need?
Yes. TFO Software is modular. You start with the programs your operation needs today and switch the rest on as you grow, without new logins or disconnected systems.
Do you supply the tracking hardware as well?
Yes. Hardware is supplied and supported in-house, with a different device for each type of asset, a 24-month warranty on every device and QR code activation.
