Fleet Manager Overview

Purpose

Fleet Manager allows you to manage the maintenance requirements of your fleet.

Different types (categories) of vehicles in your fleet may have different servicing requirements  for example, a scooter, a standard car and a commercial vehicle would all have different servicing requirements. 

RCM's Fleet Manager module allows you assign a 'Schedule Category' ( that contains the services and intervals required) to your vehicles to manage the different requirements and give you alerts when services are due.

Fleet Manager allows you to setup for both Manual servicing (adhoc)  and Periodic Maintenance  ( scheduled services  ) for the vehicles in your fleet. 

Manual Servicing:

Manual Servicing involves simply recording the services in the system after they have occurred  so that each vehicle has a full history of costs stored against it. 

Periodic Maintenance:

Periodic Maintenance schedules can be setup and assigned to the various categories of vehicles in your fleet.   Once setup and running, the system will alert you when a vehicle is due/overdue for a service via the dashboard and through various reports.  You are also able to record any costs against the services as they are performed. 

A vehicle can have multiple services of different types scheduled based on mileage and time-frame.  For example a vehicle may require a standard service every 10000 klms and a Tyre rotation every 6 months.  

There are various methods that can be utilised to ensure a vehicle due for service does not go out on hire.   This can be performed via the system parameters  by setting a flag to "Stop Hire" if a service is due.
Alternatively, you can create a maintenance booking for the period that the service is scheduled.  This will ensure customer bookings can not be made over the maintenance booking period.
