Get Errorless Vehicle Information with Our New VIN Lookup Feature

Manually entering vehicle data—make, model, year, specs—into your fleet management software feels like a boring, sluggish task. Data entry errors and typos further add frustration. Wouldn't it be amazing if there was a faster, more efficient way?

Well, no more worries! Simply Fleet is happy to launch its new feature, the VIN Lookup, which will transform your fleet management experience. 

This in-built software solution helps you to effortlessly gather comprehensive vehicle data with just a few clicks.

What is VIN Lookup?

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to each vehicle including a car, truck, etc. It acts like a vehicle's fingerprint, encoding crucial details like make, model, year, fuel type, etc.

Simply Fleet's VIN Lookup utilizes this code to populate your fleet management software with essential vehicle information automatically.

Extracting Key Details with a Single Click

Enter your vehicle’s VIN in the vehicle section of Simply Fleet software and our system securely retrieves data from a government database, populating fields like:

  • Vehicle Type: Identify if it's a car, truck, van, or something else.
  • Make and Model: Eliminate guesswork – VIN Lookup automatically recognizes the manufacturer and specific model.
  • Year: Ensure accurate record-keeping with automatic year population.
  • Fuel Type: Gain insights into fuel efficiency and optimize your fleet's running costs.
