Cloud-Based Fleet Maintenance Tool Simplifies Fleet Management

Maintenance takes time but is a necessary part of running a business that has a fleet. Indel Power Group offers comprehensive fleet maintenance services for companies, which will increase vehicle uptime through preventative maintenance and improve operational costs.

Managing your fleet using Indel Power Group’s program is a great value to customers since it provides key information to help plan for maintenance, identify when vehicles will need to be replaced, show repetitive repairs, and helps control your budget. Customers receive two reports, a weekly preventative maintenance report and a monthly vehicle costing report, to keep current on the status of their fleet.

The weekly preventative maintenance report explains when vehicles are due for maintenance, for example, an oil change, and offers cycle updates. This is important for a well-maintained fleet which should result in improved overall maintenance costs.

A member of our team contacts fleet owners for upcoming services needed for specific vehicles, like managing DOT inspections. Services can be performed at one of our locations or customers can elect our technicians to come directly to their site. Each customer has their own file in the cloud-based SharePoint system containing inspection reports, repair invoices, and operates as an online DOT file.

In addition, customers receive a monthly vehicle costing report, which provides spending data on each asset, warranty information, and additional costs associated with a specific vehicle.

We look at the cause of the needed repair or repetitive repairs and take a forward look at what vehicles might need to be replaced in the future, use our budgeting tools, and help customers make educated buying decisions.

Unity Disposal Garbage Truck

Christian Garrett, General Manager, Unity Disposal, has 60 vehicles in his fleet, which is managed by Johnson & Towers. He has been using the fleet maintenance program for four years and has seen his maintenance costs flatline.

“Johnson & Towers has really helped us control our maintenance costs and we are using the tools for record keeping, scheduling, and tracking,” says Garrett. “They help me schedule service, responding in less than 24 hours, and it’s been beneficial in catching potential problems early on, which helps from a safety standpoint. It’s run very smoothly, with no issues.”

Customers have full control and approval over any suggested repairs. Garrett has enjoyed the ease of having the annual vehicle inspections on file, which helps with company record keeping.

This program simplifies operations for the customer, offers full visibility into performed maintenance, and helps to monitor costs and spending. The fleet maintenance program will help accomplish this for the customer.
