Fleetio Announces New Fleet Maintenance Management Features

Fleetio has announced four new features for fleets of various sizes. The new features include Tire Management, Warranty Management, Sensor Data Snapshots and Enhanced Service Tasks. 

The feature expansion reflects Fleetio’s ongoing focus on addressing customer needs to meet the evolving demands of the industry.

“At Fleetio, we’re passionate about empowering fleets to reach their full potential,” said Jon Meachin, CEO of Fleetio. “These new features and offerings are a testament to our innovation and customer centricity. We’re confident they’ll serve as valuable tools to help fleets thrive in today’s competitive landscape.”

Tire Management allows fleet managers to gain real-time insights into tire health and performance, tracking tread depth, air pressure and usage data, proactively identifying potential issues and supporting compliance with Department of Transportation regulations. This feature is for fleet managers and vehicle operators in various sizes of trucking, freight, construction and contracting fleets. 

The Warranty Management feature tracks standard and extended warranties, automatically alerting mechanics about applicable policies and integrates warranty credits into work orders. This feature caters to mid-market and enterprise fleets, specifically for fleet managers responsible for warranty management.

Sensor Data Snapshots leverage sensor data to proactively detect and address potential problems before they escalate. Managers and drivers create and support issues with sensor information, providing technicians with context to diagnose and resolve problems. Upon initial launch, this feature supports Fleetio users who have integrations with Geotab or Samsara. This functionality is for fleet managers and technicians. 

Enhanced Service Tasks with Parts and Labor enables work order creation. It allows users to link service tasks to specific parts and expected labor hours, eliminating manual data entry and providing insights into labor. This feature is for mid-market and enterprise fleets in the transportation and logistics, utilities, construction and service industries, particularly users creating work orders with parts and managers analyzing labor trends. 

"There is nothing worse than getting calls about flat tires or tire failures that could have been prevented. The tire management and telematics integration features in Fleetio reduce headaches and tire failures by turning your tire program from reactive to proactive,” said Jesus Martinez Ramirez, fleet and warehousing supervisor, Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency. “I strongly recommend using Fleetio and its many features because they help keep our fleet safe, manage costs and reduce downtime."

Tier Offerings

To incorporate these new features and recognizing the diverse needs of its growing customer base, Fleetio has restructured its packaging to offer three tiers, each expanding on the capabilities of the one before: 

• Essential: Catered to fleets starting their journey, this package provides core functionalities for organizing vehicle inventory and managing inspections.
• Professional: Designed for fleets needing a collaborative approach to fleet management. This plan offers fleet managers reporting and analytics and tracking of all in-house and outsourced maintenance activities.
• Premium: Designed for fleets requiring a customizable platform that can integrate with their current systems, processes and telematics. This plan provides operational visibility, including parts management, with adaptable tracking for various data points.

Over the past few years, the company has steadily delivered a series of product enhancements. Its maintenance platform was updated with purchase orders, service reminders, Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards (VMRS) categories and the addition of Last-In First-Out, First-In First-Out (LIFO, FIFO) parts and inventory. Other previous features include updates to Fleetio’s Maintenance Shop Integration, the addition of issue prioritization to maximize resources and the release of security, work order functionality and management of custom service tasks.
