Preventive maintenance

Keep Every Bus Ahead of Service

Set preventive maintenance by mileage, engine hours, or time. Simply Fleet tracks what’s coming due, helps move scheduled service into the shop, and keeps completed work in each bus’s maintenance history.

Get advance reminders. Notify the right people before service becomes overdue.
Move scheduled service into the shop. Configured PM reminders can automatically create a work order when service becomes due.
Reset the next interval automatically. Completed service recalculates the next due point.

Inspection to repair

From Failed Inspection to Completed Repair

A failed inspection can stay connected to the maintenance work that follows, so the defect does not disappear between the driver and the shop.

Keep the defect tied to the bus. A failed inspection item creates an issue for review.
Make the repair decision in context. Review priority and move the issue into a work order when repair is needed.

Explore vehicle inspections, issue management and work orders.
