New Feature Alert: Fleet Maintenance Tracking

The Advantage of Digitally Tracking

Tracking fleet maintenance digitally is paramount for various reasons, playing a crucial role in ensuring the longevity, efficiency, and safety of a fleet. Firstly, it acts as a preventative measure, allowing businesses to see equipment needing inspections, identify potential issues, and address them before they escalate into costly repairs or, worse, lead to operational failures.

Tracking maintenance activities is essential for regulatory compliance, ensuring that vehicles meet safety standards and adhere to industry regulations. Overall, the systematic monitoring of fleet maintenance not only safeguards assets but also enhances the reliability and performance of the entire fleet, promoting a seamless and secure operation.

From a safety standpoint, a robust maintenance tracking system acts as a safeguard, preventing employees from using faulty or damaged equipment that could potentially lead to injuries or accidents. It also provides a sense of peace of mind for fleet managers, knowing that their assets are consistently monitored and maintained.

The implementation of a system results in a significant reduction in paperwork, eliminating the need for cumbersome manual record-keeping and minimizing the chances of errors. The consolidation of maintenance data into a centralized platform further alleviates the need for comparing different spreadsheets, ensuring data consistency and accuracy.

How Does The YMS Fleet Maintenance Features Work?

Fleet Maintenance Tracking

Owned Trailers Table: The YMS Fleet Maintenance features initiate fleet maintenance tracking through the Owned Trailers Table.

Fleet Maintenance Visibility

EagleView: The digital twin visual representation of a yard provides users with immediate visibility into the status of their fleet. Flashing trailers indicate the need for inspection, while damaged trailers are clearly identified, enhancing overall fleet maintenance visibility. This tool prevents the deployment of trailers in need of inspection, mitigating safety hazards and avoiding potential operational disruptions.

Multi-View: The Fleet Maintenance Visibility features extend beyond individual yards, offering enterprise fleet maintenance. With this capability, businesses can gain insights into the maintenance status of their entire fleet across multiple locations. Fleet managers at the corporate level can access centralized data, enabling them to make informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and implement standardized maintenance practices throughout the organization.

Automated Alerts and Notifications

Deadline Equipment

Only authorized personnel can modify the deadline status, ensuring operational safety and preventing unauthorized use of unsafe equipment. It prevents unauthorized modifications to deadline statuses, ensuring that only qualified personnel can clear equipment for use.

Fleet Maintenance Reporting

Maintenance Event Log: The Maintenance Event Log meticulously records every tractor and trailer maintenance and repair event.
