TMFleet

TMFleet is a fleet-management service paired with the TranzMate iPhone app, focused on inspections, fault reporting and maintenance requests. It is best suited to operators running mixed vehicles or equipment who need configurable pre-start checks and a shared follow-up process. The main trade-off is a 10-asset ceiling on the free tier, with a straightforward paid step for larger fleets.

Overview

Australian-owned TMFleet targets transport, construction, agriculture, civil and mining operations. TranzMate covers passenger and light commercial vehicles as well as heavy trucks and earthmoving equipment, so it can accommodate a varied asset list rather than a single vehicle class. Drivers and operators submit pre-start inspections, while operations and compliance teams receive reported faults and maintenance requirements. The product's centre of gravity is inspection-to-maintenance workflow; readers seeking a wider fleet-management suite should compare the alternatives below.

Key features

Configurable inspections

Pre-start checklists can be built with custom sections, questions and answer types. That matters when a truck, excavator and light vehicle require different checks: teams can shape the forms around each asset instead of applying one generic checklist.

Fault and maintenance workflow

Inspection submissions send faults and maintenance requirements to operations and compliance teams, creating a direct hand-off from a driver's check to internal action. TranzMate also provides ticketing for maintenance requests and parts orders, plus service requests. Release notes describe support for assets tracked by odometer readings and engine hours, useful when service intervals depend on either measure.

Mobile reporting

The mobile component is an iPhone app requiring iOS 15.4 or later. Apple’s listing says the developer indicated that contact information, user content and identifiers may be collected and linked to the user; Apple has not verified that disclosure. Organisations should review that privacy position before deployment.

Pricing

TMFleet uses a simple freemium structure. The 1–10 assets plan costs free and allows unlimited users. It is a strong starting point for a small operation or a pilot involving many drivers, because user seats do not consume the asset allowance; the practical limit is ten vehicles or other assets.

The 11+ assets plan costs A$100 a month, covers fleets above ten assets and has no contracts. Moving up removes the free-tier asset cap without imposing a long commitment, but the published price is a single monthly charge rather than a per-user breakdown. Prospective customers can book a demo through TMFleet’s website, which is the sensible route for assessing fit before expanding.

Platforms

TMFleet is available on the web and iOS through TranzMate. The iPhone app requires iOS 15.4 or later; no Android platform is identified.

Who it's for

Choose TMFleet if your transport, construction, agriculture, civil or mining operation needs tailored pre-start forms, fault escalation and maintenance tickets across mixed vehicles or equipment. The free plan is particularly appropriate for up to ten assets with a broad user base. Fleets beyond that size can use the 100.00 AUD monthly plan, while organisations requiring Android access or capabilities outside the stated inspection and maintenance scope should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited users on the free plan makes it practical to involve drivers, operators and compliance staff without adding seat costs.
• Pro: Custom sections, questions and answer types support different inspection regimes for mixed fleets.
• Pro: Fault reports, service requests, parts orders and maintenance tickets connect inspections with follow-up work.
• Con: The free plan stops at 10 assets, so growing fleets must move to the 100.00 AUD monthly tier.
• Con: The mobile app is iPhone-only on the stated platforms and requires iOS 15.4 or later.
• Con: The product’s documented emphasis is inspections and maintenance reporting, which may not satisfy buyers wanting a broader fleet suite.

Verdict

TMFleet is a sensible choice for mixed-fleet operators that prioritise custom pre-start inspections and a clear route from reported faults to maintenance work. Its unlimited-user free tier is unusually accommodating for small teams, and the 100.00 AUD monthly larger-fleet plan has no contracts. Look elsewhere if you need Android support or a broader operational suite than the documented inspection, service-request and ticketing functions.
