About this Product
Fleet Management for Business Central is a build-to-order extension — ECOSIRE engineers it in AL against your Business Central environment, installs it as a per-tenant extension (not a public AppSource download), and supports it after go-live. It gives fleet and operations managers a single source of truth for vehicles, maintenance, fuel and lifetime cost without bolting on a disconnected third-party system.
The extension adds a dedicated Vehicle Card and Vehicle List (new AL tables and pages), plus table extensions that link vehicles to your existing Item, Fixed Asset, Resource and Vendor records — so a truck can already exist as a Fixed Asset and still carry a full fleet profile. Preventive maintenance is driven by date and odometer thresholds, surfacing due and overdue work through the Job Queue and Business Central's native notification and reminder framework.
Fuel and expense entries post against each vehicle so total cost of ownership (purchase, fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation) rolls up into BC reports and Power BI via the standard OData/REST API. Driver assignments, insurance and registration renewals, and document attachments are tracked on the card itself.
Because it is real AL, the extension uses event subscribers rather than base-app modification, ships with its own permission sets, and survives Microsoft's monthly Business Central updates. Where you need cross-system automation we can surface fleet data into Dataverse / Power Platform for Power Apps and Power Automate flows.
You buy a one-time build at $999. ECOSIRE scopes it to your fleet rules, builds and tests it in a sandbox, deploys to production, and hands over documentation. The price is honest and the lead time is stated — no instant download, no fictional marketplace listing.
What you get
- Signed per-tenant AL extension (.app) deployed to your Business Central production environment after sandbox testing
- Scoping session to map your maintenance rules, cost categories, driver model and renewal types
- Source code repository (AL project) handed over to you, including the application object model and permission sets
- Power BI-ready OData/REST endpoints (and optional Dataverse table mapping) for fleet reporting
- Pre-configured Job Queue entries for maintenance-due and renewal-reminder processing
- Installation in your tenant plus a sandbox copy for safe future changes
- Administrator and end-user documentation covering the Vehicle Card, maintenance and fuel workflows
- Post-deployment support window with bug fixes and a defined update path for BC version upgrades
Who this is for
Fleet / Operations Manager
Owns vehicle uptime, maintenance schedules and renewal compliance. Needs preventive maintenance and insurance/registration reminders inside Business Central instead of in scattered spreadsheets, and wants overdue work surfaced automatically.
Finance Controller
Wants every vehicle's true total cost of ownership — fuel, maintenance, insurance and depreciation — posting cleanly against Fixed Assets and flowing into BC and Power BI reports for cost-per-mile and budget decisions.
BC Administrator / IT Lead
Responsible for a clean, upgrade-safe tenant. Prefers a per-tenant AL extension using event subscribers and dedicated permission sets over base-app customization, with source code handed over and a clear path through Microsoft's monthly updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fleet Management for Business Central
Is this a one-click install from Microsoft AppSource?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE engineers it in AL, tests it in a Business Central sandbox, and installs it on your tenant as a per-tenant extension. It is real, production-grade AL — it just isn't a public AppSource listing you download yourself.
What is the delivery lead time?
After a short scoping session to confirm your maintenance rules, cost categories and renewal types, a typical build runs about one working week depending on how many integrations (Fixed Assets, Power BI, Dataverse) you need. We confirm the exact timeline in writing before starting, build in a sandbox first, and only deploy to production once you've approved it.
How does ongoing support and Business Central updates work?
The extension uses event subscribers and table/page extensions rather than modifying the base app, so it is designed to survive Microsoft's monthly Business Central updates. Your purchase includes a post-deployment support window for bug fixes, and we offer a defined update path to recompile and re-validate the extension against future major BC versions.
Will it conflict with our existing Fixed Assets or other apps?
No. Vehicles can link to your existing Fixed Asset, Item, Resource and Vendor records rather than duplicating them, and the extension ships with its own object range and permission sets. We verify compatibility with your installed apps in the sandbox before any production deployment.
Do we own the code, and can we extend it later?
Yes. You receive the full AL project source repository on handover. You or any AL developer can extend it later, and because it's a clean per-tenant extension there's no hidden base-app modification to unwind. ECOSIRE can also handle future enhancements on request.
