How Much Does It Really Cost To Service Your Vehicles?

Ensuring a vehicle or piece of equipment is serviced at the right intervals achieves both long asset life and that the unit is always safe to use. Not servicing vehicles and equipment on time can lead to expensive repairs and voided warranties. The safety element of timely maintenance can never be underestimated. Missing a service might be the difference between a large-scale accident, costly damage, or failure to meet a project deadline.

Client Story:
We asked a prospective client how they keep control over the maintenance of their 300+ vehicles and equipment. They said that they had an admin person call the drivers and ask them to update their kms/hours. That process took an incredible amount of time and effort (and annoyance to the drivers!). When we showed them how it was possible to create a couple of alerts that would tell the plant admin that a service was coming up soon, you could see them counting all the hours (and hassle) they were going to save!

Consider this:
Do you have a robust system for ensuring that your vehicle and equipment are serviced properly in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements? How much easier would it be if you got an email 500kms or 50 hours before a vehicle or piece of equipment needed servicing?
Installing a GPS tracker on your equipment will allow you to service units quickly and keep them efficient and on the road making you the money they were intended for.
