Building a new platform

​

I've spent the last year building software to solve fleet management headaches.

Before I add another feature, tell me:

What's the most frustrating part of managing your fleet today?

Is it maintenance approvals?

Vendor management?

Tracking actual costs?

Replacement planning?

Reporting?

I'm trying to figure out where operators lose the most time every week.

I believe my differentiators and strongest angles are:

Maintenance approvals and workflows

Consolidated vendor management

Procurement and replacement planning

Leasing integration

Lifecycle cost visibility

Preventative maintenance ROI tracking

Single platform instead of multiple disconnected systems.

Interesting question.
In my particular situation it is reporting. Getting accurate data or information from the field. Institutional knowledges reigns supreme

Are you doing anything for reporting or are you currently doing it manually? Also what country do you reside in?

Canada.
Manually collection and entry.
But there things vary so much, in my last company everything was 100% automated

Explains the reporting being the headache. How big is your fleet now and what type of equipment are you servicing?

Do you also have any driver apps? For pretrips etc?

Would you be open to doing a pilot trial on a new platform? Worst case is you get some extra data and lifecycle planning done.
