Automating Maintenance Reminders: Save Time and Money

Posted on the 10 March 2014 by Gpsinsight1 @gpsinsight

The days of pencil pushing traditionally associated with managing your fleet maintenance are over thanks to advanced GPS tracking software that includes a maintenance module. One of the most common features that current users of GPS tracking software wish that their current provider has is maintenance and there is no question why – it saves both time and money by automating the process. Since most of the other areas of fleet management are automated, it makes sense that maintenance should be automated as well. The time that would have been spent going from vehicle to vehicle writing down odometer information and vehicle run-time can be spent in more productive ways helping the overall success of your business. By staying on top of vehicle and asset maintenance, you will save on the costs associated with vehicle breakdowns and employee downtime.

Save Time with Maintenance Reminders

Not all fleet tracking software is equipped with a way to track maintenance, so make sure that you go with an advanced solution that makes keeping track of maintenance for any of your vehicles as easy as the click of a button. Management can now simply create a schedule and set reminders to alert them once a vehicle’s maintenance is coming up. This way, maintenance is automated and much less tedious.

With fleet tracking reports, view any vehicles or assets that are overdue for maintenance to make sure they are not being over utilized. For more information on how to schedule maintenance reminders and how to view fleet utilization, click here.
