Fleetio, a fleet maintenance management software company, announced the expansion of its embedded integration with Ford modem-equipped vehicles and Ford Pro plug-in device technology.
The integration, which is Fleetio's first embedded original equipment manufacturer (OEM) integration, now supports a more comprehensive exchange of data with the Fleetio platform, open to all Ford Pro Telematics subscribers.
Enhanced Data Exchange for Comprehensive Fleet Management
Building off the original integration, which allowed fleets to automatically sync odometer readings and fault codes, this expanded version also provides access to diagnostic trouble code (DTC) alerts for proactive repairs, vehicle location details for optimized routing, and fuel vendor location alerts for enhanced fuel monitoring.
These new features enable fleets to act quickly on crucial data to:
Improve daily maintenance operations
Keep vehicles on the road
Maintain driver safety
Control costs.
Fleetio now offers seamless integration for Ford Pro Telematics subscribers, allowing direct connection of their Telematics account to the Fleetio platform. Ford Pro Telematics subscribers can continue to leverage their Ford Pro Intelligence dashboard for in-depth tracking, with the added benefit of critical data automatically flowing into Fleetio for enhanced maintenance insights.
"The Fleetio and Ford Pro Telematics integration is a significant win for fleet managers,” said Jake Martino, vice president of Partnerships at Fleetio. “By centralizing critical telematics and fleet health data within Fleetio, our mutual customers are better positioned to improve uptime and extend the life of fleet assets.”

Proactive Monitoring and Maintenance Compliance
By pairing Ford Pro Telematics data directly with Fleetio's platform, users can proactively monitor vehicle utilization trends, create accurate vehicle replacement programs, and ensure preventive maintenance compliance is achieved across the entire fleet.
“We are excited to be the first OEM with embedded integration capabilities with Fleetio, allowing fleet customers to utilize their telematics data within the Fleetio platform without having to invest in an electronic plug-in device,” said John McEachern, director, Fleet Management Software & Services at Ford Pro.
This new integration follows a previous announcement of Ford Pro’s Fleet Management Software, which offers a comprehensive fleet management solution built on software from Fleetio.
