Why teams choose
Fleetio over Dossier/AMCS

Fleet-first focus

Dossier started as waste management software and still shows its roots. Fleetio was purpose-built for vehicles and mobile equipment from day one — with workflows designed for the challenges fleet managers actually face, not retrofitted from another industry.

Streamlined maintenance workflows

Dossier buries simple tasks under layers of clicks and missing data. Fleetio reduces friction with rule-based automations, intuitive inspections and work orders that close the loop — eliminating manual data entry and keeping your fleet records accurate without the administrative burden.

Cross-industry flexibility

Dossier is built for niche segments and struggles outside its comfort zone. Fleetio works for any fleet type — from mixed-use municipalities to logistics operations — giving you the flexibility to scale without switching platforms.
