Project outline- identifying a flexible, browser-based Fleet Maintenance Management System (FMMS) software. Maintenance work orders should be automatically created for equipment identified by the customer as requiring attention. Additionally, the system should be able to create integrated work orders for equipment requiring pre-trip maintenance.
The FMMS also needs to be able to integrate with systems such as Ebis, APOSS, FleetFocus, DataStream, Telogis (Telematics), as well as with web-based payroll and accounting systems. This integrated solution should track equipment movements, labor and part costs, and spare part inventories. Moreover, the proposed system would help to reduce duplication of data entry into multiple systems. As a result, the proposed FMMS would increase efficiency; lower operating costs, and improve profitability
By having an automated Fleet Management Information System (FMIS) incorporated into the FMMS, service providers would be able to identify data such as a vehicle’s identification number (VIN), year, make, model, color, engine, fuel type, and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). The FMIS portion of the system would enable the tracking of the cost per hour of the equipment, better management of spare parts inventories, and enhance a shop’s ability to plan employees’ work schedules to make the best use of personnel time and efforts.
