A lot goes into providing communities with safe, reliable transportation. Bus and transport fleet managers are increasingly turning to fleet management software to help improve fleet operations, reduce downtime and operating costs, and increase asset ROI. FLEET MANAGERS ARE OFTEN TASKED with meeting numerous and challenging goals, from staying within budget and on top of compliance adherence to ensuring fleetwide safety and asset reliability, making it crucial to have the proper management system in place. While paper-based management systems have historically been a staple for fleets, this method of management is antiquated and doesn't allow for data consolidation, causing increased downtime and information bottlenecks. With a plethora of offerings on the market providing an assortment of features and function-alities, many bus fleets are leveraging fleet management software to better manage their fleets. One such fleet is Pendleton, Ore.'s Kayak Public Transit. "Before fleet management software, everything was done manually," says Robert Johnson, fleet maintenance safety manager at Kayak Public Transit. "It was spreadsheets and handwritten work orders. We now have the flexibility to efficiently record, track, and report on vehicle maintenance and operating activities." Fleet management software consolidates all your fleet's data onto a single platform, allowing it to aggregate and report on key fleet metrics. Reports are configurable, ensuring you get the information you need to make data-driven decisions. Fleet management software also automates tasks and tracks asset data in real-time. For Kayak, these benefits have translated to an increase in on-time maintenance compliance to nearly 90.
