Fleet Hub Pool Booking

GPS-linked vehicle pool management to cut downtime.

Argus Fleet Hub solves one of the most common fleet frustrations: vehicles sitting idle because allocation is managed on paper or via spreadsheet, with no connection to what is actually available on the ground. Argus Fleet Hub integrates directly with live GPS tracking so every booking reflects real-world vehicle availability — not what a spreadsheet says should be available. Fleet managers gain a clear utilisation picture that surfaces underused assets and informs smarter decisions about fleet size and composition.

Key capabilities

  • GPS-linked — bookings reflect live vehicle availability
  • Reduces fleet downtime and idle assets
  • Surfaces underused vehicles for better utilisation decisions
  • Integrated with the Argus Management console and mobile app
  • Simplifies vehicle allocation for shared fleets
