Fleet management in the logistics sector requires a comprehensive approach that not only keeps vehicles operational but also extends their lifespan and reduces costs. At Intelligis, as an authorized distributor of Geotab in Central America, we understand the importance of implementing preventive maintenance programs to avoid unexpected failures, reduce wear and tear, and improve driver safety. With the advanced tools provided by the MyGeotab platform, businesses can achieve more efficient fleet management and a complete optimization of their resources

 

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance in Fleet Management

  • Early Detection of Problems: Allows potential issues to be identified before they turn into serious breakdowns.
  • Reduction of Unexpected Downtime: Decreases the risk of unplanned operational interruptions.
  • Optimized Performance: Increases fleet efficiency and productivity by ensuring vehicles operate in optimal conditions.
  • Less Wear and Depreciation: Prolongs the lifespan of vehicles and reduces the frequency of replacements.

In addition to these benefits, a preventive maintenance program generates valuable data that helps fleet managers plan the replacement of units or the acquisition of new assets accurately, optimizing long-term costs.

 

Why Implement a Preventive Maintenance Program?

 

Preventive maintenance, based on a schedule that includes parts replacement and inspection of key components, helps to:

  • Protect Company Assets
  • Reduce Operational Costs
  • Improve Customer Satisfaction
  • Promote Operations

The return on investment (ROI) of each vehicle is maximized by operating efficiently and projecting a professional and reliable image, adding additional value to the company.

 

How Does Intelligis Facilitate Preventive Fleet Maintenance Management?

 

Intelligis, as an authorized distributor of Geotab in Central America, offers a comprehensive telematics solution with the MyGeotab platform that facilitates fleet maintenance management through precise, real-time data. Here are some examples of how MyGeotab helps prolong vehicle life:

  • Preventive Maintenance Scheduling: MyGeotab allows scheduling and tracking of necessary maintenance such as oil changes, tire inspections, and filter replacements, based on mileage, operating hours, or time.
  • Real-Time Diagnostics Monitoring: The platform provides access to engine diagnostic codes (DTCs) in real time, allowing issues to be detected and resolved before they become major failures.
  • Driver Behavior Reports: Monitors accelerations, hard braking, and speeding, helping to reduce vehicle wear and fuel consumption.
  • Vehicle Usage and Redistribution Reports: Geotab analyzes how each unit is used, enabling balanced fleet management.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Sends alerts for critical issues such as low tire pressure or low oil levels to prevent major damage.
  • Trend Analysis and Benchmarking: Geotab offers analysis tools to compare fleet performance and adjust maintenance practices based on the best global trends.
  • Geotab and ArcGIS Integration: More Layers of Information for Comprehensive Preventive Maintenance Management

As an authorized partner of Geotab and Esri, Intelligis also offers the possibility of integrating Geotab telematics data with the ArcGIS ecosystem. This integration allows companies to visualize and analyze the locations and movements of their assets on advanced ArcGIS maps, adding multiple layers of information to enrich decision-making and optimize field operations maintenance.

 

With this combination, businesses can:

  • Enhance Asset Visibility and Monitoring: By integrating Geotab data into ArcGIS, it’s possible to have a detailed geospatial view of assets in real time, facilitating monitoring of their location and status.

  • Optimize Predictive Maintenance: The integration of vehicle diagnostic data into ArcGIS maps helps identify areas and routes that may require more maintenance, optimizing response time and avoiding failures.
  • Gain Advanced Analysis for Route Planning: Combined Geotab and ArcGIS data allow route planning that considers not only operational efficiency but also geographic factors and infrastructure usage patterns.
  • Manage Field Operations Smartly: Visualizing operations on GIS maps enables more effective resource management and more precise intervention planning.

This Geotab and ArcGIS integration, carried out by Intelligis, provides a strategic and holistic view that enhances companies' ability to manage their fleet and field operations with greater accuracy and depth. With this technology, safer, more efficient, and sustainable operations are achieved.
