The AssetWorks Technology Ecosystem
AssetWorks has been developing fleet management software and hardware for over 40 years. Its product suite covers the full operational picture: vehicle maintenance and lifecycle management, fuel and energy tracking, mobile technician and driver workflows, GPS and telematics, and motor pool management. The products are built to run on a single integrated database, which means accurate data across every function—but only when the underlying hardware is installed and configured correctly.
Orbital’s technicians are trained across the complete AssetWorks ecosystem. Whether you’re deploying new systems, migrating from a legacy platform, or expanding an existing installation, Orbital handles the hardware side so your AssetWorks investment delivers what it’s supposed to.
What Professional AssetWorks Installation Delivers
FleetFocus: Maintenance and Lifecycle Management
FleetFocus is AssetWorks’ core fleet management platform, covering preventive maintenance scheduling, work order management, parts inventory, asset lifecycle tracking, and cost analysis. To get real-time data into FleetFocus, the hardware connecting vehicles to the platform needs to be properly wired and configured.
Orbital’s installation process ensures FleetFocus integrates correctly with telematics systems, mobile devices, and vehicle diagnostic connections. That means accurate maintenance alerts, live engine data, and reliable asset tracking—without gaps or configuration errors that cause missed service events or incorrect readings.
FuelFocus: Fuel Management
FuelFocus provides real-time fuel tracking, consumption reporting, and cost management for fleet operations. For electric fleets, AssetWorks extends FuelFocus to incorporate EV charging data alongside traditional fuel monitoring, giving mixed fleets a single view of energy usage.
Orbital installs and calibrates FuelFocus hardware to ensure accurate readings from the start, including secure integration with fuel systems. FuelFocus installations for government and municipal fleets often extend well beyond the vehicle bay. Orbital’s crews manage the full installation scope, including underground conduit runs, concrete sawing, and structural anchoring, ensuring fuel infrastructure and hardware are integrated as a single commissioned system. For electric fleets, Orbital validates connections to EV charging infrastructure and confirms energy tracking is functioning across both fuel and charging sources before handback.
MobileFocus Enterprise: Mobile Workflows
MobileFocus Enterprise is AssetWorks’ suite of mobile solutions for technicians and field staff. It includes FleetFocus EDGE (a fully responsive web interface for shop and field use), Fleet Connect (disconnected mobile apps for work orders, labor, and parts when connectivity is limited), and SmartApps (connected mobile applications for real-time fleet workflows).
These tools depend on properly configured in-cab hardware and mobile devices to function reliably. Orbital ensures all driver- and technician-facing hardware is securely mounted and compliant with FMCSA display placement requirements, with clean power integration and validated connectivity before the vehicle returns to service.
GPS and Telematics: Real-Time Visibility
AssetWorks integrates with leading telematics providers to bring vehicle location, performance data, and driver behavior monitoring into FleetFocus. The value of that data depends on GPS hardware being installed correctly—securely mounted, properly calibrated, and reliably connected to the vehicle’s ECM.
Orbital handles GPS hardware installation end-to-end: mounting, cable routing, ECM integration, and connectivity validation against the AssetWorks back-office portal before the vehicle leaves the bay.
KeyValet: Motor Pool Management
KeyValet is AssetWorks’ motor pool solution that handles vehicle reservations, check-out, billing, and maintenance tracking. Deployments that include KeyValet kiosks or keyless access hardware require the same precision installation as other AssetWorks components. KeyValet deployments go well beyond plug-and-play electronics. Kiosk installations require structural anchoring directly into concrete, and Orbital’s crews manage the full scope, from site prep and anchor installation to hardware mounting and system commissioning. For government motor pools and municipal fleet operations where KeyValet is often a public-facing asset, that civil installation capability means a single accountable partner from concrete to connected.
Preventive Maintenance and Cost Control
AssetWorks’ maintenance tools are only as good as the diagnostic data flowing into them. Orbital validates every ECM connection during installation, confirming that maintenance alerts, warranty checks, and service interval data are reaching FleetFocus accurately. That foundation is what makes automated PM scheduling and cost tracking reliable over time.
AssetWorks Hardware Installation by Orbital
Orbital installs the full range of AssetWorks hardware across commercial vehicles, specialty equipment, and fleet assets. Every installation is tailored to the specific requirements of the AssetWorks platform and the configuration of each vehicle.
FleetFocus Integrations
Orbital installs and validates in-cab displays, tablets, and diagnostic connections for FleetFocus. This includes FMCSA-compliant display placement, secure cable routing, and confirmed data flow from the vehicle’s ECM to the FleetFocus platform.
FuelFocus Systems
FuelFocus hardware installation includes secure mounting of fuel management modules, validated connections to vehicle fuel systems, and calibration for accurate consumption tracking. For electric fleets, Orbital integrates EV charging data sources and confirms energy tracking is functioning before handback.
GPS and Telematics Hardware
GPS units are mounted securely, calibrated for accuracy, and connected to the ECM for continuous data flow. Orbital routes cables to prevent damage and wear, and validates GPS connectivity against the AssetWorks portal as part of the post-install checklist.
Accessory and Sensor Integration
AssetWorks deployments often include trailer tracking, temperature sensors, and other specialized hardware. Orbital installs and configures these accessories with the same documented process as primary vehicle hardware, ensuring accurate data collection and clean integration with the AssetWorks platform.
Hardwired Installation Considerations
AssetWorks hardware is designed for enterprise fleets where compliance, data accuracy, and operational continuity are non-negotiable. Orbital integrates every component directly into the vehicle’s electrical system rather than relying on OBD-II dongles or temporary connections. This approach ensures:
- Persistent data flow — hardwired connections prevent connectivity gaps that interrupt GPS, telematics, and diagnostic reporting.
- Regulatory compliance — secure mounting and validated connections protect ELD log integrity and meet FMCSA requirements.
- Warranty protection — Orbital follows OEM-approved installation standards, avoiding diagnostic errors and preserving vehicle warranties.
TaskRaptor: Structured Deployment and Quality Assurance
Large fleet deployments require consistent execution across every vehicle. Orbital manages this through TaskRaptor, its proprietary deployment platform that governs every technician and every installation from start to finish.
TaskRaptor tracks every step of the installation process, with GPS-stamped, photo-verified proof of work for each completed asset. An AI-assisted QC review process—with a human in the middle to review—flags issues before vehicles go back into service. All job data flows into customer back-office systems through RESTful APIs.
A Consistent Process for Every Vehicle
Every Orbital installation follows the same structured workflow:
- Pre-installation fleet assessment and hardware verification
- Vehicle-specific installation planning, including cab configuration and ECM interface selection
- Secure mounting of gateways, displays, and tablets, with electrical integration that protects vehicle systems and warranties
- Gateway pairing, ECM activation, and accessory configuration
- Video hardware installation, field-of-view validation, and AI detection alignment, where applicable
- Post-install diagnostic validation against the AssetWorks back-office portal, confirming live GPS, engine data, and full system connectivity
Vehicles are only returned to service after successful validation confirms the system is communicating correctly within the AssetWorks platform.
