Our company is small (~ 30 employees) yet our reputation is known throughout the fleet industry across North America, including government (federal, state, local), education (colleges, universities), commercial industries, and non-profits.

What exactly is it that we do? Organizations of all shapes and sizes rely on vehicles to do their work. We provide software and other technology to help organizations manage those vehicles. Our niche in the fleet industry is that we have the software and hardware tools that facilitate the efficient sharing of vehicles (e.g., reservations, self-service vehicle check-out & check-in, utilization reporting, automated billing). Through efficient sharing and vehicle management, organizations save time, reduce costs, and improve service to their stakeholders. Our product, FleetCommander, also has fleet management capabilities / features such as GPS, self-service kiosks with automated key control, preventive maintenance scheduling, risk management, fuel management, driver management, reporting, and more. Locally, organizations such as Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Fairfax County, the EPA, Frostburg University, and more use our system. I would encourage all interested candidates to view our web site (www.AgileFleet.com) before responding to learn about our workplace culture, products, services, and our outstanding customer service.
