Managing a fleet of vehicles effectively is no small feat. From ensuring timely maintenance to tracking driver behavior and vehicle locations, a business’s success can hinge on efficient fleet operations. This is where Alarm.com Connected Fleet, a cloud-based fleet management solution powered by Alarm.com, comes into play. Designed to enhance security, efficiency, and insight, Connected Fleet transforms the way businesses handle their vehicles.
What Is Connected Fleet?
Connected Fleet combines hardware and software to provide real-time visibility and actionable insights into fleet operations. Supporting up to 100 vehicles per location, it integrates OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostic) devices to collect and display data on an intuitive dashboard. This setup ensures businesses can monitor vehicle performance, evaluate driving behaviors, and track locations seamlessly from one platform.
The Connected Fleet platform requires minimal setup:
- Hardware: One Alarm.com Car Connector device is needed. Check here how to install your Connected Car from Alarm.com.
- Software: A Connected Fleet service package, selected via Alarm.com’s dashboard.
Connected Fleet offers three types of dashboards to suit different management needs:
If you want to access different types of options on your fleet, you can easily navigate it on the customer’s website.
- Summary Dashboard: View the real-time status of vehicles in a single system.
- Trip History Dashboard: Analyze past trips for performance insights and route optimization.
- Enterprise Dashboard: Monitor all vehicles in the fleet across multiple locations for a high-level overview.
The system’s alerts and notifications keep fleet managers informed of critical events. Notifications for unexpected vehicle movement, engine start events, low fuel, and upcoming maintenance deadlines ensure no detail goes unnoticed. Driving behavior alerts for risky actions like hard braking or excessive speed further enhance fleet safety and compliance. These alerts can be customized for specific vehicles or the entire fleet and sent to designated recipients for immediate action.
Fleet Trip Reports are another powerful tool offered by Connected Fleet. These reports provide detailed insights into vehicle activity on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Generated through the customer app or website, these reports help managers identify inefficiencies, optimize routes, and improve overall fleet performance.

By adopting Connected Fleet, businesses benefit from enhanced security, cost savings, and streamlined operations. Real-time tracking deters theft, proactive maintenance minimizes repair costs, and driving behavior alerts improve fuel efficiency. Centralized dashboards and trip reports simplify fleet management, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations.
