ProtechFleet · vehicles, ambulances, cold chain

Know where it is.
Know it stayed cold.

Fleet management for vehicles that carry something that matters.

Most fleet software stops at a dot on a map. That is fine until the cargo is a patient, a vaccine consignment or a blood sample, and the question is not only where the vehicle went but whether the compartment held temperature, whether the van was decontaminated afterwards, and whether the driver's PSV badge is still valid.

What makes it different

The parts a medical fleet actually needs

Tracking is the easy half. These are the things that decide whether a consignment is accepted and whether a vehicle is roadworthy on the day it is stopped.

🌡️ Cold-chain monitoring

Per-compartment temperature and humidity against thresholds you configure, with door-open detection and an alert the moment a reading leaves range — not a discovery at the far end.

🚑 Dispatch with a real timeline

Request, dispatch, arrived at pickup, departed, arrived at destination, complete. Every leg timestamped, with trip type, priority and a patient reference where the run is a transfer.

📍 Live position and geofences

Position, speed, heading and ignition state per vehicle, with named zones that raise an event the moment a vehicle enters or leaves one.

🧼 Sanitization evidence

Post-trip decontamination recorded against the trip as a checklist that passed or failed. The trail infection control asks for, kept as a matter of course.

📋 Expiries before they lapse

Insurance, inspection and road licence per vehicle; driving licence, PSV badge, defensive driving and medical certificates per driver. The point is the warning, not the record.

⛽ Fuel and maintenance that reconcile

Fuel-card reconciliation with price per litre and vendor, and service schedules that fall due on mileage or elapsed days, whichever lands first.

What is in it

What the system keeps

Each of these is a register you can report on, not a field on a form.

Vehicles

Make, model, plate, fleet number, acquisition cost, current mileage, home base, and the three compliance expiries.

Drivers

Licence and class, PSV badge, defensive driving and medical certificates, each with its own expiry.

Trips

Type, priority, requesting department, purpose, pickup and destination, odometer in and out, fuel used, and the full dispatch timeline.

Positions

Latitude, longitude, speed, heading, accuracy and ignition state, from the GPS source you already use.

Geofences

Named zones with a radius and an optional vehicle-type filter, and an event log of every entry and exit.

Cold chain

Readings per compartment with temperature, humidity and door state, against configurable minimum and maximum thresholds.

Safety

Speed against the posted limit, severity, and a score penalty that rolls up into a driver scorecard.

Incidents

Type, severity, location, description, resolution and the cost of each event.

Maintenance

Scheduled and performed work, vendor, cost, and the next due date or mileage.

Who it is for

Fleets this was built for

Hospital and ambulance fleets

Where a trip is a patient transfer and the dispatch timeline is part of the clinical record.

Vaccine and sample logistics

Where the consignment is rejected if the cold chain broke, and you need to prove it did not.

Institutional fleets

Counties, missions and organisations running vehicles across departments with real accountability for cost per kilometre.

Distribution and courier

Where fuel, maintenance and driver behaviour are the margin, and a geofence tells you a delivery actually arrived.

How to start

Start with a pilot, not a rollout

Nobody should move a whole fleet onto a new system on a promise. A pilot puts a handful of your own vehicles through it for a month, on your routes, with your drivers.

1. Pick five vehicles

Ideally your awkward ones — the ambulance whose timeline nobody can reconstruct, the van that keeps failing inspection, the cold-chain route that broke last month.

2. We set them up with you

Vehicles, drivers and their expiry dates loaded, your GPS feed connected, geofences drawn around the places that matter. We do this with you rather than emailing instructions.

3. Run a real month

Your own trips, your own drivers, your own cold-chain readings. At the end you have a month of real data and a straight answer about whether it earns its place.

Before you ask

Questions we get

Is there a free trial?

Not a self-serve one. ProtechFleet is set up against your actual vehicles, drivers and GPS feed, so there is nothing useful to hand you behind a signup button. What we do instead is a pilot: five of your vehicles, running for a month on your own routes, set up with you. At the end you have real data rather than a demo impression.

Do we have to buy your GPS hardware?

No. The system records position, speed, heading and ignition state from a GPS source, and is built to take that feed rather than to sell you boxes. Tell us what you already have fitted and we will tell you honestly whether it can feed the system.

How does the cold-chain monitoring work?

Readings are logged per compartment with temperature, humidity and door state, and checked against minimum and maximum thresholds you configure per compartment type. When a reading leaves range the system raises an alert rather than recording it quietly for someone to find later.

Can it handle ambulance dispatch specifically?

Yes — that is one of the cases it was built around. A trip carries a type, a priority and a patient reference, and is stamped at dispatch, arrival at pickup, departure, arrival at destination and completion, so the timeline is a record rather than a recollection.

What happens when a licence or insurance is about to expire?

Every expiry is held against the vehicle or the driver and surfaces before the date, which is the entire point. A register that only tells you something lapsed after it lapsed has not helped anyone.

Can it run as part of a hospital system?

Yes. The fleet module also exists inside MedSuite for facilities that run their own ambulances, so the transport record and the patient record are not in two unrelated systems. It also runs standalone for fleets with no hospital attached.

How is it priced?

Per fleet, by size and by which parts you need — cold chain and dispatch are not relevant to every operator. Ask for a demo and we will quote against your actual fleet.

Next step

Bring us your hardest run

The vaccine route that keeps breaking, the ambulance whose timeline nobody can reconstruct, the van that failed inspection. Those make the useful demo.
