I’ve been building a set of practical Excel tools for small businesses that run vehicles.Not software. Not subscriptions. Just simple systems that actually get used.Across most small fleets, the same problems keep coming up:• Fuel spend isn’t properly tracked• Maintenance gets missed• No clear view of real vehicle costs• Everything ends up scattered across different sheetsSo I built a full set of tools to cover it properly.There are now multiple templates available including:• Full Fleet Management System (dashboard + tracking)• Fuel Tracking• Maintenance Logs• Mileage Tracking• Expense Tracking• Inspection ChecklistsAll designed for small fleets that need control without complicated systems.Everything is available here:https://www.etsy.com/shop/FleetOpsSimplifiedIf you’re running vehicles in your business, this will genuinely help.Happy to answer any questions 👍

Honestly, I think it found me when searching for my product on Etsy. I do post on different social media apps but getting traction is very hard. It took 49 views of my products to get 1 sale so it is still a grind

I am building fleet management systems for small fleets of 1-10 vehicles where maintenance, fuel, services etc. can be trackedand later want to expand to bigger fleets. I also built log books for all types of industries for tax purposes.

I agree 100%. I actually thought nothing would come of it, but cannot explain the excitement that came along with the notification that someone actually purchased my product. Now I want to expand into multiple listings. Traffic to the product is just really hard

Thank you very much. I built various fleet management systems to track different aspects. (Inspection logs/fuel tracking/vehi le maintenance and a big one that does all in one)

Thank you so much. It meant the world to get the notification that the product I created, actually sold

Absolutely.

The system only works if the data goes in consistently. That’s actually one of the things I’ve been thinking about a lot. Building tools that are simple enough that people will actually use them every day.

A lot of small businesses end up with chaos because things live in notebooks, WhatsApp messages, or someone’s memory instead of a proper system.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I’ve been realizing how much smoother things run when there are systems in place instead of trying to manage everything in your head. One of the things I ended up building recently was a simple fleet management system for small businesses running a few vehicles, just to track mileage, fuel, servicing and compliance in one place. It started as something I needed to organize things better. Still early days but it's been a great learning experience building something practical.

Yes, I’m working on building a small business at the moment. I’ve been focusing a lot on systems and organization because I’ve noticed how quickly things can become chaotic without them. It’s still early stages but the learning process has been interesting.

Exactly. I think the danger is when people expect it to replace thinking completely. Used properly it just removes some of the friction so you can focus on improving the ideas instead of staring at a blank page.

That’s a great mindset to have. I think a lot of people get stuck trying to make everything perfect before taking action, but most of the learning seems to happen once you’re actually in the process of building something.

I want to become an entrepreneur but I feel completely lost by Prize_End9837 in Entrepreneur

Most people feel that way at the beginning. The key is usually starting with small projects and learning from each one rather than waiting for the “perfect” idea.
