Dossier fleet maintenance pricing
Dossier fleet maintenance pricing is quote-based through direct sales, with no published rate. We could not verify anything at source on 30 September 2026 because arsenault.com did not respond at all: a connection failure with no HTTP status, on both the apex and www hostnames.
So this page is deliberately short. With the vendor's own site unreachable there is no figure to cite, and recording the absence is more useful than reproducing an aggregator's estimate as though it were a rate.
What is established is the shape of the purchase. Cost depends on fleet size, on whether you deploy on-premise or hosted, on which modules you license, and on implementation and support scope.
Dossier is an implemented enterprise product rather than self-serve software, and the commercial model follows from that.
Rajat Gupta runs FleetOpsClub and writes its software reviews, comparisons and pricing pages. Every tool on the site is assessed against the vendor's own published documentation and pricing, and each pricing figure carries the date it was last verified so readers can judge how current it is. Where a vendor does not publish a price, the page says so rather than estimating one.
Last reviewed Aug 21, 2026Pricing is only one part of the evaluation. How we review software sets out what else we check beyond cost, and the fleet management categories show how pricing compares across the market.
Dossier pricing
The deployment choice is the first fork and it changes the kind of cost you are signing up for. A hosted subscription is a monthly or annual per-asset figure you can compare directly against published alternatives.
An on-premise licence moves cost into a licence fee, server and storage, backup, patching, and an annual support or maintenance percentage that is usually invisible in a per-vehicle comparison. Decide which model you want before asking for a number, because the two quotes are not comparable to each other, let alone to a per-asset rate card.
The module scope is the second. Core coverage is preventive maintenance, work orders, parts and inventory, fuel and reporting, which is the full job for most private fleets.
Enterprise and multi-location scope adds motor pool management, deeper parts and inventory, and implementation support. That last line is where quote-based maintenance platforms diverge most from subscription software: implementation is a project with its own price, and in this category independent reports for a comparable enterprise product put that work in the five-figure range.
Because Dossier publishes nothing, the benchmark has to come from fleet maintenance software vendors that do. RTA publishes $6, $8 and $11 per asset per month, billed annually with unlimited users and a 100-asset minimum, which puts its cheapest tier at a $600 monthly floor.
Simply Fleet publishes $3 and $5 per vehicle per month with a free band to five vehicles. Fullbay, which is shop-side rather than fleet-side, publishes $188, $258 and $318 per shop per month plus $89 to $119 per additional user.
All verified 30 September 2026. Those three give you per-asset, per-vehicle and per-shop reference points to test any Dossier quote against.
The unreachable site is itself worth factoring into the evaluation rather than treating as an inconvenience. No contract terms, no renewal mechanism, no notice period and no support commitment could be read, which means every one of those has to be extracted in writing from a salesperson.
Across this market the terms are where the real cost sits: Fleet Complete publishes a 36-month default with a five percent annual escalator, IntelliShift makes work orders non-cancellable for convenience, Trimble requires 90 days' notice. With Dossier none of that is knowable in advance, so build the evaluation around getting it on paper early.
Dossier Fleet Maintenance
Custom / contact vendor
Core fleet maintenance and asset management: preventive maintenance, work orders, parts and inventory, fuel, and reporting. Available on-premise or hosted.
Enterprise / multi-location
Custom / contact vendor
Scoped for larger fleets and multi-location operations that need motor pool, deeper parts and inventory, and implementation support.
Pricing source: official pricing page, verified 2026-09-30. Could not verify: arsenault.com did not respond at all on 2026-09-30 (connection failure, no HTTP status, on both www.arsenault.com and arsenault.com). With the vendor's own site unreachable there is no vendor-published price to cite, so this is recorded as not published rather than guessed.
What drives Dossier pricing
Decide hosted or on-premise before you ask for a price, and ask for both quotes if you are genuinely undecided. For on-premise, get the licence fee, the annual support percentage, the server specification and who is responsible for patching and backups.
For hosted, get the per-asset or per-vehicle rate, the billing unit and the minimum.
Scope the implementation as a project with an acceptance test, not as a percentage. Ask what the fee covers, who migrates your existing maintenance and parts records, how many integrations are included, what a change request costs, and what happens if go-live slips.
That is the line most likely to exceed the first year of licence on an implemented product.
Run it as written procurement, because there is nothing public to compare against. Issue identical requirements to Dossier and at least one published-rate vendor with a request for quote template, record each answer with its date in a vendor evaluation scorecard, and baseline your current process first with a PM service schedule and a parts inventory tracker so you can prove what the software changed.
If you are weighing fleet-side maintenance platforms more generally, Fleetio against RTA is the comparison with published numbers on both sides.

What to confirm in a Dossier quote
Choose the deployment model first
Dossier is available on-premise or hosted, and the two produce incomparable quotes. Pick one before asking for a price, or ask for both and compare them on a full-term total rather than a monthly figure.
Get the on-premise cost in full
If you deploy on-premise, ask for the licence fee, the annual support percentage, the server specification, and who owns patching, backups and upgrades. None of that appears in a per-vehicle comparison.
Scope implementation separately
Ask what the implementation fee covers, who migrates existing maintenance and parts records, how many integrations are included, and what a change request costs. Get an acceptance test written into the statement of work.
Extract the contract terms in writing
No terms could be read because the vendor's site was unreachable. Ask for the initial term, renewal mechanism, notice period, early-exit liability and support commitment as five stated figures.
Benchmark against published per-asset rates
RTA publishes $6 to $11 per asset per month on a 100-asset minimum and Simply Fleet $3 to $5 per vehicle. Those are dated and sourced, which is the standard a Dossier quote should be measured against.
Filter the name collision out of your research
Searches for Dossier pricing return a fragrance brand, and almost all public questions about the name are about perfume. Add Arsenault or fleet maintenance to any search, and discard any figure that does not name the software.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
How much does Dossier fleet maintenance software cost?
No price is published. Dossier by Arsenault Associates is quote-based through direct sales, and the vendor's own site did not respond at all on 30 September 2026, a connection failure with no HTTP status on both arsenault.com and www.arsenault.com. With the site unreachable there is no vendor figure to cite.
What drives the price of a Dossier quote?
Four things: fleet size, the deployment model, which modules you need, and implementation and support scope. The deployment choice matters most because Dossier is available on-premise as well as hosted, which changes the cost from a subscription into a licence plus infrastructure.
What does on-premise deployment change about the cost?
It moves cost from a monthly subscription into licence, server, backup and administration lines you own. Ask who patches it, where it is backed up, what an upgrade costs, and whether support is priced as a percentage of licence, because none of that appears in a per-vehicle comparison.
What does Dossier cover?
Core fleet maintenance and asset management: preventive maintenance, work orders, parts and inventory, fuel, and reporting. An enterprise or multi-location scope adds motor pool, deeper parts and inventory, and implementation support, which is where the larger quotes come from.
Why are there no Dossier reviews or scores here?
Because this site publishes no product score and runs no review programme. What we can tell you is what is checkable: the pricing model, the deployment options, and the fact that the vendor's own site was unreachable when we last tried to verify anything.
Why do searches for Dossier return perfume results?
Because the name collides with a direct-to-consumer fragrance brand, and the collision dominates search. Almost every public question about "Dossier" pricing is about perfume. Add "Arsenault" or "fleet maintenance" to any search, and discard figures that do not name the software.
Is there a published alternative in fleet maintenance?
Yes, several. RTA publishes $6, $8 and $11 per asset per month on a 100-asset minimum, and Simply Fleet publishes $3 and $5 per vehicle per month with a free tier to five vehicles. Both verified 30 September 2026.
Does Dossier offer a trial?
Evaluation is demo-led, and no trial or sandbox terms are published. For an implemented product with an on-premise option, ask instead for a scoped pilot with a defined data set and a written acceptance test, since a demo on sample data tells you little about a migration.
How should you evaluate Dossier without a price?
As a procurement exercise. Issue the same written requirements to Dossier and at least one published-rate vendor, ask for the contract terms as a document, and compare on a full-term total including implementation rather than on a per-vehicle rate that may not exist.
