Guide for Managing Maintenance
Managing fleet maintenance can be a herculean task, especially for fleet managers overseeing a large number of assets. Since readers found value in our Fleet Manager’s Manual, we decided to do it again — this time with the focus on how fleets can improve maintenance and repair processes to increase uptime and productivity. We talked with a number of Fleetio customers and industry experts to see what major challenges they face when it comes to servicing assets and what actions they took to improve their operation. And while software for fleet managers — you know I couldn’t resist a shameless plug — can play a role in uptime improvement, it’s only a part of the puzzle that leads to operational success.
In the Guide for Managing Maintenance, we cover a wide array of challenges many fleets face when it comes to nailing down and addressing process problems, determining core fleet needs and detailing proven tips from fleets have overcome and improved.
