Managing fleet and driver information shouldn't be a time-consuming process. Whether onboarding a new customer, expanding your operation or updating existing records, efficient data management is essential.



The Pleiades release introduces Import & Export Enhancements, making it quicker and easier to manage drivers, vehicles and supporting reference data directly within Echo.

Import and export drivers, vehicles and fleet data more efficiently with enhanced data management tools in Echo, simplifying administration and system setup.

The enhanced functionality allows operators to:


  • Import drivers, vehicles, vehicle types, makes and models directly through Echo
  • Download CSV templates to simplify data preparation
  • Export existing records for editing and re-importing
  • Control Import and Export permissions independently
  • Access extended export information for drivers and vehicles



These improvements reduce manual administration while helping maintain accurate, consistent data across the platform.



The enhanced Import & Export tools are particularly valuable for organisations managing large fleets, NEMT operations, employee transport, PTS (Patient Transport Services) and multi-site transport businesses where regular data updates are part of day-to-day operations.



By simplifying the management of operational data, Import & Export Enhancements help operators spend less time maintaining records and more time running an efficient transport operation.
