It manages the entire workflow around every vehicle: reservations, access, compliance, maintenance, and returns — all logged automatically and available in real time. ### What you gain:  - Fewer vehicles needed to support the same workload - Clear accountability for every driver - Automatic handling of breakdowns and peak demand - A reservation system that doesn’t need overhead - Lower operating and fuel costs - Less administrative overhead  ## Use Your Fleet to Its Full Capacity ### Corporate Carsharing & Pool Vehicle Management ecos fleet automatically assigns the best-fit vehicle for each trip. Set groups like **electric vehicles for short routes** or **combustion for long distances**, and the system follows your rules. If the preferred group is full, the system moves to the next one. If no vehicle is available, a rental is requested automatically. This ensures: - Higher utilization - Lower idle time - Lower fuel use - Perfect fit between route and vehicle - A smaller, right-sized fleet Book a Demo ## Reservations That Don’t Require Oversight ### Book from your phone, computer, or Outlook Your drivers don’t need training to use ecos. They can reserve a specific vehicle or a vehicle type. The system rotates sign-outs so you distribute wear evenly across your fleet. ecos automatically: - Confirms bookings - Assigns replacements if a vehicle becomes unavailable - Prevents double-bookings - Updates reservations if Outlook appointments change - Frees vehicles when meetings are cancelled No more managing calendars by hand. ### Key handoffs without returning to the cabinet Drivers can [pass a vehicle to another user directly using the mobile app](/products/physical-security-software?hsLang=en), and the system updates instantly, so you always know who has the keys. ## Automatic Handling of Breakdowns & Demand Spikes When a vehicle comes back with an issue, ecos fleet can immediately: - Block the vehicle - Alert your maintenance team - Remove it from circulation - Rebook the next driver into an appropriate replacement Your drivers never arrive to find their vehicle is unavailable. ## Maintenance Made Simple When returning a vehicle, drivers log key details right at the cabinet: - Cleanliness - Mileage - Fuel level - Any issues or defects If an issue is reported, the system sends an automatic alert to your maintenance team and blocks the vehicle until it’s safe to use again. This eliminates: - Missed repairs - Unsafe vehicles accidentally going back into use - Back-and-forth emails - Unclear accountability ## Keep Drivers Accountable with Built-In Verification ### Driver’s License Check Only drivers with a valid license can access keys. You tag each license once, and drivers scan at the system before every sign-out. If a license is expired, access is blocked and a supervisor can be notified. ### Mandatory Alcohol Testing For industries requiring strict safety controls, attach a breathalyzer to the system. Keys unlock only after a negative test — and you can require another test on return to document driver condition during the trip. ## Always Know Where Vehicles Are ecos shows the exact vehicle location as soon as the key is taken out, along with: - Status (available, reserved, in use, blocked) - Previous notes or damage - Terms of use - Real-time updates from the road You can also enable geofencing — for example, gates can open automatically when a vehicle approaches. ## Hardware Built for Real-World Fleets Choose between: - [**Key cabinet sizes**](/products/electronic-key-management-systems?hsLang=en) (20–360 keys) - **Drawers for keys + documents** - **Locking or non-locking slots** - **Indoor or outdoor configurations** All systems use one-piece steel construction and are made to last, even in harsh conditions. Add new key capacity anytime without replacing hardware. ## Fits Any Fleet, Any Industry ### Corporate Carsharing Use fewer vehicles without limiting availability. ### [Logistics & Field Service Fleets](/industries/warehouses?hsLang=en) 24/7 access, strict safety controls, clear traceability. ### [Municipalities & Utilities](/industries/cities-and-municipalities?hsLang=en) Full audit trails + automated maintenance workflows. ### Car Rental Providers Fast self-service pickup with identity verification. ## Case Studies [### PostNord – National Logistics Fleet  **900+ stations** needed a standard system.
