COMING SOON: GPS Tracking and Asset Management Systems for landscaping and lawn care equipment
Put a Husqvarna Fleet Services™ sensor on any piece of equipment and you’ll always know where it is, how much it's being used, when it's time for service, and more (and if you use our professional robotic mowers, you won’t even need to install the sensor!) You'll receive updated information on your phone, tablet or laptop, saving you both time and money.
All your equipment in one place
Say goodbye to paperwork! Husqvarna Fleet Services™ allows you to check your inventory list and know exactly how many machines you have in service. Give them unique names and you'll be able to tell easily which is which. The inventory list can be made available to all users in your company. You can add sensors to all types of landscaping equipment, as well as utility vehicles, trucks, and products from other manufacturers.
Find them all on the map
Always know where you last had your equipment with Husqvarna Fleet Services™. Every time a machine with a sensor is close to a smartphone or tablet running the app, its location is registered. So whenever you’re looking for a piece of equipment, simply check the map to find out if it’s in storage, away for service or out working. Plus, our robotic mowers have built-in GPS and connectivity, allowing their location to be tracked constantly.
See when and how much you've used it
Want to know how often you've used a particular piece of equipment? Need to calculate how much time your team spends mowing, trimming, blowing or handling any other task? Simply check the machine usage report in Husqvarna Fleet Services™ and you'll have the data you need to manage your tools effectively and maximize your team's efficiency.
Service history and notifications
The sensors track the exact total engine hours of every piece of equipment. By looking into the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ system, you can always tell the actual age and service history of each machine, as well as the overall investment and repair costs. This makes it easier to know when it’s time to replace a unit. Plus, you'll receive notifications when a machine comes due for service, helping you keep up-to-date with maintenance and reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.
Your robotic mowers are already connected
All our professional 500-series robotic mowers have built-in connectivity. A subscription to Husqvarna Fleet Services™ comes standard on these mowers, so you can easily track and control them from anywhere.
How it works
The system keeps track of your equipment either through the use of machine sensors or – in the case of our professional robotic mowers – built-in connectivity. The equipment data is transmitted via Bluetooth (for Automower® it’s via 2G/3G) and can either be collected in the field via the intuitive Husqvarna Fleet Services™ app, or back in storage via the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ Gateway app. The combination of these apps gives you updated data that’s automatically uploaded to the cloud-based account where you can access it from any device.

FAQ
What's the difference between the Fleet app and the Gateway app?
The Husqvarna Fleet ServicesTM mobile app helps Fleet managers and Technicians to manage the inventory while out in the field. The app detects machine sensors in the field and uploads their data to the cloud. This includes 'last known location', to help find any missing equipment or to make sure nothing is left behind.
The Fleet Gateway is designed for one task only - to detect a large number of machines when they are returned to storage, account for their return and then upload the machine data. The Fleet Gateway benefits best from being stationary in your storage space, connected to a Wi-Fi service and powered 24/7. Both apps can be downloaded from Applestore and Google Play.
Does every operator need the app?
No, Husqvarna Fleet ServicesTM machines detect and store the machine data even without the Fleet Services mobile app or Gateway app nearby. However, in order to capture last known position for a machine, a Fleet mobile app needs to be running on a phone within Bluetooth range of the machine. To achieve a constant control of the last known location of all machines, you are best served by having operators install the app, as the distance between different operators may be too big.
Can I track my equipment in real time?
If you use the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ app (in a mobile or tablet) in the field and the Husqvarna Fleets Services™ Gateway app (in a tablet) in the storage area, you’re able to monitor your equipment 24/7. Otherwise, the data shows the last known position of your equipment.
Will the app track the position of the operator?
No, Husqvarna Fleet Services™ does not track the operator. The app detects the Bluetooth connection from the machine sensor and stores that as a time stamped event. With that time stamp, the phone reports its own GPS position which provides the last known position for the machine.
How do I install sensors on my equipment?
In order to add new sensors to a machine you need to use the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ app.
First off, the machine in question has to be added to the Fleet (which can be done with either the app or from a browser). Then start the app and select the machine in your inventory, then tap the ‘install sensor’ button.
Next, tap ‘scan QR code’ and if the app requests permission to take photos and record videos, accept. Scan the QR code using the camera in the phone – make sure that there is enough light so the camera can capture the code.
When the code has been captured, the app will automatically add the sensor to the selected machine.
Can the sensor withstand tough professional work?
Yes, the sensor holder and sensor electronics are constructed for many years of usage in different customer work applications such as landscaping, tree-care, construction work etc.
Do the sensors provide live GPS tracking?
No. The location captured by the system is always 'last known', as seen by any of the fleet apps. The GPS position of the machine comes from the smartphone and not from the sensor itself.
Can I install sensors on equipment from other brands?
Yes, you can install sensors on machines from any 3rd party brand to connect them to Husqvarna Fleet ServicesTM.

Can I assign different user roles for various staff members?
Yes, currently Husqvarna Fleet Services™ has two roles – Fleet manager and Fleet technician.
A user can have multiple roles.
The Fleet manager role provides full access to the fleet company account, including rights for user management and payment settings.
The Fleet technician role is limited to management of asset inventory.
How many users can I add?
There are no technical limitations on how many users Husqvarna Fleet Services™ can have.
Does Husqvarna Fleet Services™ work on my smartphone/tablet/computer?
The Husqvarna Fleet Services™ web portal works on tablets and computers. The Husqvarna Fleet Services™ smartphone app is available for both Android and iOS. Simply go to Google Play and/or Appstore and search for ‘Husqvarna Fleet Services’.
Will running the apps drain my battery?
The app needs to be running in order for the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ location services to help report last known location for the machines. This employs the Bluetooth radio and you can expect a similar energy usage as for similar tracking apps like Tile, TrackR, etc.
Uploading the machine data uses slightly more energy.
Is my information safely stored in the cloud?
Information is stored on resources that are secure behind firewalls and can only be accessed by the system itself.
