A breakdown isn't just an expense; it's a reputation killer. Learn how to automate your fleet's health checks, reduce downtime by 40%, and ensure every customer drives away with confidence.
Why Proactive Maintenance Matters
In the rental business, your assets are your revenue. A vehicle sitting in the shop is losing money every hour. By shifting from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance, you not only extend the life of your fleet but also protect your brand.
Vehicles with documented service history sell for up to 15% more when it's time to de-fleet.
Catching a worn brake pad today costs $50. Replacing a damaged rotor tomorrow costs $300.
Setting Up Service Schedules
Fleetify’s Smart Scheduler removes the guesswork. You can configure triggers based on three key metrics:
5,000 km
6 months
Issues
The Workflow: Logging a Repair
When a driver reports an issue (e.g., "Check Engine Light"), follow this exact workflow in the dashboard to ensure the vehicle isn't accidentally booked.
- 1
Create a Ticket
Go to Fleet > Maintenance and click "New Ticket". Select the vehicle and the urgency level (Low/Medium/Critical).
- 2
System Auto-Block
Once created, Fleetify immediately removes availability for this car. If there are future bookings that conflict, you will be alerted to reassign them.
- 3
Upload Invoices
After the repair, snap a photo of the mechanic's invoice and upload it. This tracks your Cost Per Mile (CPM) analytics automatically.
Safety Lock Protocol
Fleetify enforces a strict "Safety First" policy. A vehicle flagged with Critical Defects (Brakes, Tyres, Airbags) cannot be dispatched in the system, even by an admin, until the ticket is marked "Resolved" and verified.
Calculating Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Maintenance is the second largest expense after depreciation. Use the Reports tab to monitor which vehicles are costing you the most. If a car's maintenance cost exceeds 30% of its monthly revenue, it might be time to sell.
