Tailor your alerts to fit your fleets' unique needs
One of the key features of FleetCheck’s fleet management software is its ability to create tailored alerts. This functionality allows you to receive timely notifications based on the specific needs of your fleet, allowing for improved operational efficiency, compliance and costs management.
Why Tailoring your Alerts is Important
Every fleet is unique regarding vehicle types, usage patterns, and maintenance needs. Standard manufacturer recommendations may noy always align with real-world conditions, so a one-size-fits-all approach can lead to missed maintenance, unexpected breakdowns, or unnecessary costs. Tailored alerts ensure that potential issues are flagged before they become problems, helping to optimise the overall performance of your fleet.
Use Case Examples
MOT Reminders for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs)
HGVs are subject to strict regulatory inspections, and finding garage availability for MOTs can be challenging especially during peak periods. If you customise how you receive certain alerts you can be notified well before MOT due dates, providing time to book services and avoid any last-minute compliance issues and limit downtime. Having advanced alerts can also help ensure maintenance is accounted for in the budget, reducing unexpected financial impact.
High-Mileage Vehicle Servicing
High-mileage vehicles often experience greater wear and tear, which may require more frequent servicing than manufacturer recommendations suggest. Tailored alerts can flag vehicles that exceeding mileage thresholds, ensuring that they are inspected and serviced at appropriate intervals for your business needs. This proactive approach can help prevent costly breakdowns and extend vehicle lifespan.
Tyre Pressure or Brake Wear Alerts
If your drivers use the FleetCheck Driver App to record vehicle issues, you can set alerts for tyre pressure or brake wear indicators based on vehicle usage and driving conditions. This improves vehicle safety, reduces fuel consumption, and avoids premature tyre replacement costs.
