Priorities, challenges, concerns: whatever we wish to call the list of to-dos that fleet managers work through day in, day out are never quite completed, but rather only ever seem to lengthen.
Proper vehicle maintenance still firmly belongs on the list, with quite a lot of other tasks associated with a fleet operation (managing vehicles, keeping up with compliance processes connected to it, making sure it is performed for safety purposes etc.), but has more recently taken on an additional role beyond its traditional scope—the mobile maintenance system.
Managing a standard/traditional fleet vehicle maintenance system already requires a good deal of practice (getting the best servicing vendors and resources, establishing regular schedules and complying with them, integrating preventative practices to comply with regulations). But making it mobile, for whatever reason (considerable time savings in having an accessible system from anywhere, compliance reached in an easier way with automation, the need to share with multiple stakeholders such as external maintenance providers the fleet maintenance information, managing fleet maintenance from different areas and so on), might appear quite a challenge at first glance.
Many companies do indeed struggle to externalise their internal process to ensure that maintenance is carried out according to the same best practices rooted in their internal system or to work with a maintenance and servicing provider to guarantee their requirements are met—so what then are the challenges companies particularly struggle with in order to utilise mobile maintenance?
Mobile maintenance software can help you in sharing maintenance knowledge, outsource fleet maintenance or even just communicate any necessary information on your fleet to anyone that potentially needs to know.
