The Wireless Matrix Vehicle Maintenance Module is an innovative, easy-to-use and powerful tool within FleetOutlook^® for administering and tracking the maintenance of mobile assets. This module automatically tracks not only calendar days but also the elapsed mileage and engine hours using an in-vehicle GPS device. The results are then displayed on the Vehicle Maintenance Dashboard. Users are able to see at-a-glance which vehicles are due for maintenance and which are past due.

The initial release enables users to:

• Ensure preventative maintenance is performed at specified intervals. Automatically track maintenance by elapsed mileage (GPS odometer), calendar days and engine hours to ensure that maintenance is performed at specified intervals. Maintenance that is due is displayed on the dashboard. Any maintenance that is past due is prominently displayed at the top of the dashboard with a red indicator light.
• Reduce unscheduled maintenance and downtime. By performing preventative maintenance at the specified intervals, fleets can significantly reduce unscheduled maintenance and potential vehicle breakdowns. By reducing unscheduled maintenance, customer service and the overall operating metrics of the fleet improve.
• Decrease vehicle maintenance costs. Preventative maintenance costs less to perform than unscheduled maintenance. Preventative maintenance also takes less time to perform than unscheduled maintenance so the vehicle can be in-and-out of the maintenance facility quickly.
• Enable the fleet manager to focus on maintenance, not paperwork. The Vehicle Maintenance Module eliminates the need for the fleet manager to track maintenance intervals on paper. The module also auto-notifies the fleet manager via the dashboard when maintenance is due or past due.
• Provide management with clear visibility of maintenance metrics. Like all modules in FleetOutlook, the Vehicle Maintenance Module provides visibility to all levels of the organization. It provides upper management with a dashboard view that clearly highlights which locations are behind in their maintenance tasks.

“The Vehicle Maintenance Module greatly enhances fleet managers’ ability to proactively monitor, measure and manage the maintenance of the vehicles in their fleets,” said Adam Wegel, Wireless Matrix’s senior director of product management. “The innovative module empowers fleet managers to maximize the operational availability of their mobile assets and eliminates the need for manual maintenance tracking and paperwork.”

The next release of the solution, scheduled for winter 2010, will add additional functionality to the Vehicle Dashboard as well as advanced analytics and reporting.
