# How Do I Migrate a Fleet or Vehicle Tracking Spreadsheet?

You migrate a fleet or vehicle tracking spreadsheet by uploading it to generate an initial vehicle table, then connecting each vehicle's maintenance schedule, cost, and status to its own record. On **Jestor**, this uses the same relational structure applied to any asset tracking.

Fleet spreadsheets tend to be a flat list, one row per vehicle, disconnected from the maintenance requests and costs that actually relate to each one.

## What fleet spreadsheets get wrong

- Maintenance history tracked separately from the vehicle's own row
- No consolidated view of total cost per vehicle over time
- No automatic alert when a vehicle's scheduled maintenance approaches
- Status updates depending on someone remembering to edit the row manually

## How structured fleet migration works

- Upload the existing fleet spreadsheet to generate an initial vehicle table
- Maintenance requests and costs connect directly to the specific vehicle
- Automations can flag approaching maintenance dates automatically
- Dashboards can consolidate cost and maintenance frequency across the whole fleet

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Vehicle data stays connected to its maintenance history, not in a separate log
- Automated alerts reduce reliance on someone remembering to check a schedule
- The same approval logic applies to fleet-related spend as any other expense
- Migration typically starts by uploading the existing fleet spreadsheet directly
