FleetFocus™, AssetWorks’ flagship fleet maintenance software solution has been chosen to manage the County of Los Alamos’ Fleet including Atomic City Transit

Wayne, PA –– March 15, 2010 AssetWorks, a leading provider of fleet management software and automated fuel management systems, announced today that it has contracted for a fleet management software, implementation and hosting services deployment with the County of Los Alamos, NM.

The County of Los Alamos Fleet Management Division is responsible for purchasing and maintenance of all county equipment, the county's Radio Communication system, maintaining the fueling system and providing fuel for Los Alamos County and Los Alamos Public Schools. Additionally, the Fleet Division maintains the fleet for Atomic City Transit buses and para-transit units which serve the towns of Los Alamos and White Rock with a downtown trolley and neighborhood routes.

The Fleet Division sought a solution that could improve their ability to support, maintain and manage its vehicle fleet and other related assets. With a new fleet maintenance facility coming on line this spring, the Fleet Division wanted enhanced tools to better maintain its fleet, including real-time labor capture, robust reporting capabilities and complete vehicle equipment life-cycle management in an easy to use application.
 
AssetWorks FleetFocus tracks all functions related to the maintenance of equipment, including repair and preventive maintenance (PM) work orders, operating expenses (e.g., fuel, oil, and licensing), and billing for equipment usage. FleetFocus also supports shop scheduling, replacement analysis, equipment and replacement planning, and full parts inventory functionality. FleetFocus can help reduce maintenance expenditures and inventory expenses, while simultaneously improving productivity, efficiency, and asset utilization.

The County chose a hosted solution whereby AssetWorks manages the servers, the database and software application at its hosting services center. A hosted solution helps to eliminate capital outlay and can leverage the experience of AssetWorks’ skilled database administrator and application staff. AssetWorks has offered an Application Service Provider (ASP) solution for over 12-years, and was the first to do so in the fleet software industry. AssetWorks provides hosted services for more than 40 of its over 450 fleet maintenance software customers, including the ICE/U.S. Border Patrol, the County of San Diego, Greyhound Bus and many other leading fleet operations in North America.

AssetWorks was chosen as a software vendor because of the company’s proven track record of product development, which matches the Fleet Division’s long-term technology goals. Additionally, the Fleet Division needed a solution would focus on meeting their critical operation requirements without modifications to the application’s code. The FleetFocus fleet maintenance software solution meets the county’s requirements without the need for extensive customization.

“AssetWorks is proud of our history and success in serving County fleets. The County of Los Alamos joins a long list of New Mexico customers, including; the City of Albuquerque, Albuquerque Solid Waste, ABQ Ride/ Albuquerque Transit, Sun Port Airport, State of New Mexico DOT, New Mexico State Police, State of New Mexico GSD and Sandia National Laboratory. We are excited to add County of Los Alamos as a hosted client, and we look forward to a successful implementation,” stated Jim Schnepp, Vice President of Sales, AssetWorks.
