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.

Husqvarna Fleet Services - How it works

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.

How it works

The app collects all equipment data via Bluetooth once machines are within a range of 0-100 meters (0-30 with obstructed visibility). The app will give you and your colleagues easy access to your data and last known location, and the data is uploaded to your account from wherever you are. Available for iOS and Android.
Attach the sensor to a piece of equipment to keep track of its use and last known position. The data is stored in the sensor's built-in memory and is transmitted via Bluetooth to either the Fleet ServicesTM app, out in the field, or to the gateway app once it's back in storage.
All your data is safely stored in the cloud in your organisations Husqvarna Fleet Services account, so you can access it from anywhere.
As soon as the data has been uploaded to your account, you can instantly access it through the web interface from your computer or tablet.
The gateway app is the ""at home"" solution that transfers the collected data from the sensors via Bluetooth and uploads it to your account. Install it in your storage to upload the data and make sure all equipment has been properly checked in once the workday is finished. Available for Android.
No external sensor is needed - all our professional robotic mowers have built-in connectivity and GPS. This allows you to track their position and status, get notifications and change settings - all in real-time on your phone, tablet or laptop.

Key benefits of Husqvarna Fleet Services™

The machine usage report shows how many of the machines you actually use – you might be able do the same job with fewer of them. And the engine hours for each machine help you identify the ones that will last another season.
With Husqvarna Fleet Services™, you can set up reminders for preventive maintenance based on recommended service intervals for all types of equipment, efficiently minimizing the risk of breakdowns.
Reducing CO₂ emissions is an important target in all types of businesses. The carbon footprint calculator provides you with the data you need to take action and to report your progress to your stakeholders.
Husqvarna Fleet Services™ keeps an eye on the equipment for you. Weekly reports and messages will alert you if there’s anything you need to deal with. This saves time. And as you know, time is money.

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.

What are the technical specs on the sensors?

What kind of equipment can I track/handle?

You can add virtually any type of asset to the Fleet Services inventory.

The Fleet Services™ Machine Sensor can extract data from the following machine types:

  • Machines with petrol engines
  • Machines with electric engines

Examples of asset types which can be added to Fleet services are:

  • Hand-held machines
  • Ride-on machines
  • Husqvarna Automower®
  • Vehicles
  • Utility vehicles

Which Husqvarna Automower® models are supported by Husqvarna Fleet Services™?

Husqvarna Fleet Services™ supports all Automower® models equipped with an Automower® Connect module:

  • 500-series
  • 300- and 400-series X-line
  • 300 and 400-series with Automower® Connect module installed as an accessory
Note: Automower® Connect@Home is not supported by Husqvarna Fleet Services™

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.
