Comparison · neither of these is our product
Vimcar vs Avrios
If you are comparing Vimcar against Avrios as rival vendors, the answer has changed: they are the same company. Both are Shiftmove products, and each still does a different job. Here is what each is for, what they now share, and — clearly marked and last — where our own tool fits.
| Vimcar | Avrios | Fleet by Elevera (ours) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company | A Shiftmove product since the 2023 merger | A Shiftmove product since the 2023 merger | Elevera — independent |
| Primary job | Digital logbook (Fahrtenbuch) and GPS tracking | Fleet administration and management software | Inspection → incident → insurance claim |
| Tax-compliant Fahrtenbuch | Core product | Not its focus | Not offered |
| Photo-evidence shift inspections | Not described as a shift-inspection tool | Not described as a shift-inspection tool | A six-photo standard on the driver’s phone, every shift |
| Damage compared against yesterday | Not described in their documentation | Not described in their documentation | Every shift, against that vehicle’s own previous-day photos |
| Shared data across the two | Vehicle and driver data held centrally by Shiftmove | Vehicle and driver data held centrally by Shiftmove | Single product; nothing to integrate |
Choose Vimcar if
You need a tax-compliant Fahrtenbuch and vehicle tracking, and that is the job you are actually buying for.
Choose Avrios if
You are administering a mixed fleet — contracts, costs, documents, drivers — and want that in one system.
Choose Fleet by Elevera if
Your losses come from damage nobody can pin to a shift, and you need the photo evidence and the claim that follows it.
What we could not verify
A comparison that hides its gaps is worth less than one that names them. These are this page’s limits, not anyone’s shortcomings.
- Pricing for either product. Neither publishes per-vehicle pricing in a form that can be compared honestly here — ask Shiftmove directly.
- How much of the central data layer is live for existing customers, and on what timetable older accounts are migrated.
- Avrios’ and Vimcar’s full feature depth. This page covers the job each is built for, not a feature matrix.
- Whether either roadmap now includes photo-evidence inspections. Absence from today’s documentation is not a promise about tomorrow.

If the problem you are actually solving is damage nobody can pin to a shift, that is the one we built for.
