Questions
Should a fleet use Fleetio or MetaFleet?
A fleet that wants to track every vehicle, fuel, telematics and outsourced repairs is Fleetio's core buyer. MetaFleet is built for the repair business itself: the shop that dispatches techs and bills customers.
Can a repair shop use Fleetio?
Fleetio lists work orders, parts and invoice emailing on its higher plans, and runs a maintenance shop network. Shops whose main job is billing many outside customers should compare dispatch, approvals and payments closely.
Can my fleet customers see their repairs in MetaFleet?
Yes. MetaFleet's customer portal lets a fleet manager request work, approve estimates line by line, see status and pay.
