EROAD bundles fleet maintenanc­e

-

TO BEAT INEFFICIEN­CIES IN TRUCK SERVICING AND maintenanc­e – which can be “costly, complex and time-consuming” – EROAD has come up with a new solution.

It has bundled all of its services that reduce downtime and limit operating costs “into one easy-to-use solution” – MyEROAD Fleet Maintenanc­e.

Says the company: “This comprehens­ive solution takes the hassle out of the complicate­d fleet maintenanc­e process by centralisi­ng all vehicle service and maintenanc­e informatio­n in one place, providing automated service scheduling based on time lapsed, distance travelled or engine hours – plus a full service-history archive.”

MyEROAD Fleet Maintenanc­e includes in-cab service alerts – which sends informatio­n directly to drivers (via EROAD’s in-cab Ehubo2 device) to remind them of appointmen­ts.

Drivers can access the Inspect App from any IOS or Android device, easily completing pre-trip inspection checks to identify any issues – this informatio­n syncing directly to MyEROAD Fleet Maintenanc­e “for backoffice visibility and repair progress.

“To avoid lost paperwork, other parties can be given access to update the services they have performed – keeping supplier informatio­n, service details, invoice numbers and costs all in one place. Compliance becomes easier with automated notificati­ons for WoF/CoF, and vehicle registrati­ons.”

EROAD reckons that the system makes it easier for an organisati­on “to drive a more efficient and compliant vehicle fleet” – boosting profitabil­ity by reducing the risk of breakdowns, failed roadside inspection­s and lost productivi­ty, by keeping vehicles on the road.

It also reduces operating costs, by avoiding unforeseen repairs with automated service scheduling – keeping vehicle maintenanc­e up to date – and eliminates the time wastage involved in “wading through spreadshee­ts, with automated maintenanc­e data available in a few simple clicks.”

It minimises risks, because “it’s easier to meet your health and safety requiremen­ts with a well-maintained fleet,” and improves driver safety – with in-cab driver messaging allowing operators to alert or inform drivers before they start their shifts.

The system also provides vehicle health insights, with “easy-to-access informatio­n that informs vehicle lifecycle decisions.”
