Repair and Performance

One obstacle facing distributors and manufacturers today is the challenge of effectively managing the owned or leased fleet of vehicles. Companies who own their vehicles need to be able to gauge the wear and tear these vehicles endure to be able to proactively schedule maintenance and service vehicles. Effective repair management increases uptime and can significantly reduce the chance of an en-route failure, which can delay or damage shipments. With today’s need for just-in-time procurement, this effective management of equipment is more critical than ever.

Assetscoper can be utilized to track how many pound-miles each car has endured and can recommend scheduled maintenance based on your firm’s specific criteria. Ship trips and emergency repairs can be recorded in the system to offset scheduled repairs for specific parts. These records can also be used to identify under-utilized equipment and to be able to contrast vehicle class efficiencies and uptime.

This information is also important for score carding vehicle management companies or vehicle leasing firms. Identifying and addressing bottlenecks can be achieved proactively by identifying delay of shipment events.
