fleetbase

## What is Fleetbase? Fleetbase is an open-source, modular operating system for logistics and supply chain operations. It covers dispatch, fleet management, live tracking, commerce, warehousing, and finance in one platform, with a REST API, webhooks, and an extension system for everything else. Run it on your own infrastructure or use [Fleetbase Cloud](https://console.fleetbase.io/onboard).

Because every workflow, field, and status is configurable, the same platform adapts to very different operations. | Industry | How Fleetbase is used | |----------|-----------------------| | [Trucking & Haulage](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/trucking) | Replace a legacy TMS with real-time tracking, route optimization, and digital proof of delivery. | | [Courier & Parcel](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/courier-services) | Automate dispatch, raise first-attempt delivery rates, and give customers live parcel tracking. | | [Food & Grocery Delivery](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/food-delivery) | Run on-demand delivery with instant dispatch, live customer tracking, and automated notifications. | | [E‑commerce & Retail](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/ecommerce) | Power same-day and next-day delivery and returns through a headless API. | | [Healthcare & Pharmacy](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/healthcare) | Track chain of custody and prioritize urgent deliveries with full audit trails. | | [Waste & Recycling](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/waste-management) | Optimize collection routes, track containers, and produce compliance reports. | | [Container Operations](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/container-operations) | Follow containers across multi-modal journeys from port to door. | | [Government & Defense](https://fleetbase.io/solutions/government) | Self-host with role-based access, full audit trails, and complete data sovereignty. | Developers use Fleetbase as a foundation too, building custom logistics products on its API and extension framework. ## Platform Fleetbase is made up of modules that install into the console as extensions. Each one works on its own and integrates with the rest. | Module | What it does | |--------|--------------| | [Fleet‑Ops](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/fleet-ops) | Fleet management and dispatch: orders, drivers, vehicles, live tracking, route optimization, configurable workflows, and maintenance. | | [Storefront](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/storefront) | Headless commerce for on-demand businesses, with multi-vendor marketplaces and native Fleet-Ops delivery. | | [Pallet](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/pallet) | Warehouse management for inventory, pick lists, cycle counts, and fulfilment. | | [Ledger](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/ledger) | Invoicing, payments, wallets, and accounting for logistics operators. | | [Customer Portal](https://github.com/fleetbase/customer-portal) | A self-service workspace for your customers to place and track orders, get quotes and pay, view invoices, manage documents, and open support tickets. | | [AI](https://fleetbase.io/platform/ai) | Natural-language order creation, operational queries, and order insights powered by OpenAI or Claude. | | [IAM](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/identity-and-access/users) | Identity and access management: users, groups, roles, policies, and two-factor authentication across your organization. | | [Developers](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/developer-console) | The developer console: API keys, webhooks, socket and system events, and request logs, with separate test and live environments. | | [Navigator App](https://github.com/fleetbase/navigator-app) | Open-source driver app for iOS and Android with real-time dispatch, navigation, and proof of delivery. | | [Storefront App](https://github.com/fleetbase/storefront-app) | Open-source iOS and Android app for launching your own shop or marketplace. | ## Features | Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | **Extensible** | Install extensions from the marketplace or build your own to add features directly into the OS. | | **Developer friendly** | REST API, WebSockets, and webhooks for integrating external systems or building custom apps. | | **Configurable workflows** | Define order types with their own activity flows, custom fields, and automation. | | **Real-time operations** | Track drivers, vehicles, and orders live, with geofences and service zones. | | **Telematics** | Connect GPS devices and sensors for live feedback from the field. | | **Identity & access** | Organizations, users, roles, policies, and two-factor authentication. | | **Dashboards** | Build custom dashboards and widgets for visibility into operations. | | **Collaboration** | Built-in chat, comments, and notifications across your organization. | | **Internationalized** | Translate the console into any language. | | **Self-hosted or cloud** | Run it on your own infrastructure with full control of your data, or let us host it. | ## Screenshots

## Getting Started There are three ways to run Fleetbase: - **[Fleetbase Cloud](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/quickstart/cloud-quickstart)**: fully managed, with nothing to install. [Start a free trial](https://console.fleetbase.io/onboard). - **[Run locally](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/quickstart/running-locally)**: self-host with Docker on your own machine or server. - **[Deploy in your cloud](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/quickstart/deploy-in-cloud)**: run production workloads on AWS, GCP, Azure, or any other provider. ### Quickstart You need Docker with Docker Compose v2, Git, Node.js 18 or newer, and at least 4 GB of RAM allocated to Docker. Then install the Fleetbase CLI and run the interactive installer: ```bash npm install -g @fleetbase/cli flb install-fleetbase ``` When setup finishes, open the console at http://localhost:4200 and create your first admin account and organization. The API is served at http://localhost:8000. The [running locally guide](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/quickstart/running-locally) also covers installing with Docker Compose or the setup script, configuring services like mail, maps, and SMS, and troubleshooting. To work on Fleetbase itself, follow the [development setup guide](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/quickstart/development-setup). ## Extensions Extensions add features, integrate external systems, or change how Fleetbase behaves. Browse and install them from the console or with the [Fleetbase CLI](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/cli), and publish your own to the marketplace as free or paid extensions. - [Browse and install extensions](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/platform/extensions/browsing-and-installing) - [Build your first extension](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/extension-development/getting-started/quickstart) - [Extension architecture](https://www.fleetbase.io/docs/extension-development/architecture/overview) ## Roadmap | Feature | Status | Expected Release | Description | |---------|--------|------------------|-------------| | **Pallet (WMS)** | In development | Q4 2026 | Inventory and warehouse management extension | | **Dynamic Rules** | Planned | 2027 | Rule builder to trigger events, tasks, and jobs | Want to influence the roadmap?
