Preventive Maintenance Software That Keeps Every Service on Schedule

Set recurring maintenance by mileage, engine hours, time, or a combination. Simply Fleet tracks what is coming due, alerts your team before service becomes overdue, and automatically updates the next maintenance interval after completed service.

Built for vehicle and equipment fleets that need a reliable way to stay ahead of recurring maintenance without depending on spreadsheets, calendar reminders, or one person’s memory.

The preventive maintenance cycle

Preventive Maintenance Should Run in a Loop

Set the rule once. Simply Fleet tracks the asset against that schedule, warns the team as service approaches, and updates the next interval after completed maintenance.

1. Set

Create recurring schedules by mileage, engine hours, time, or a combination.

2. Track + Warn

See upcoming, due and overdue service and alert the team before maintenance becomes late.

3. Complete

Move due service into scheduled work and record what was completed.

4. Reset

Update the next interval after completed maintenance is logged.

Maintenance triggers

Schedule Maintenance by Mileage, Engine Hours or Time

Vehicles and equipment do not all reach service intervals the same way. Build each PM schedule around the trigger that makes sense for the asset.

Mileage-Based Maintenance

Use odometer readings for recurring service based on distance traveled.

Oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, transmission service.
Example: Every 5,000 miles. Notify 500 miles before due.

Engine-Hour Maintenance

Use engine hours where operating time matters more than distance.

Heavy equipment, generators, idle-heavy trucks, machinery.
Example: Every 500 engine hours. Notify 25 hours before due.

Time-Based Maintenance

Use calendar intervals for recurring work that should happen regardless of usage.

Annual inspections, seasonal service, fluid replacement, low-use assets.
Example: Every 12 months. Notify 30 days before due.

Apply the same recurring maintenance schedule across similar vehicles or equipment when needed.

Due visibility and advance alerts

Know What Is Upcoming, Due and Overdue

Give the team one current view of what is upcoming, due, and overdue.

Upcoming: plan service before the threshold is reached.
Due: see maintenance that has reached its scheduled interval.
Overdue: find service that has passed the due point.
Filter: focus by vehicle, group, location, or status.

Use different lead times for different services so the team has time to plan vehicle availability, technicians, parts, or vendor appointments.

From due service to completed work

Turn Due Maintenance Into Scheduled Work

On supported plans, due maintenance can move into a work order so the job can be assigned and tracked without another manual handoff.

Create the work

Create a work order for the due service and assign it to the right technician.

Complete the work

Add the finished maintenance to the asset’s service record with the date, meter reading, technician or vendor, parts, labor, cost, notes, and supporting documents.

Start the next interval

When completed maintenance is logged, Simply Fleet updates the next recurring interval automatically.

Small Product Details That Make Preventive Maintenance Easier

Smaller controls help teams configure reminders, communicate service details, and give scheduled work better context.

Preview the schedule before you save it

See the next upcoming due points, adjust the starting mileage or date when needed, and let Simply Fleet recalculate the future schedule.

Notify the right people

Send maintenance reminders to the people responsible for the asset and add other recipients when needed.

Add instructions to the reminder

Include workshop, vendor, approval, or preparation notes directly with the maintenance notification.

Reuse standard service tasks

Use reusable service tasks or templates so recurring jobs can carry the expected maintenance work into the work order.

Plan parts and labor before the job starts

Service tasks can include suggested parts and estimated labor so technicians have a clearer starting point for scheduled work.

Still Managing Preventive Maintenance on a Spreadsheet or Whiteboard?

A spreadsheet can store a maintenance date. The harder part is keeping the process current as vehicles accumulate mileage, work is completed, and schedules change.
