How to Create a Work Order, Log Third-Party Repairs & Close Issues – Step-by-Step Tutorial

Managing a fleet means dealing with repair issues from time to time. This video shows you how to fix vehicle problems using Option A – External Repair with Simply Fleet.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How to create a work order when a vehicle has an issue

Using Simply Fleet, you can fill in everything from issue details to repair costs in one place. The software even auto-fills data to save time and reduce errors.

Once done, the vehicle is marked In Service again. This ensures a clean repair history and organized fleet management for every vehicle — no matter how big or small the job.
