You already know FleetFocus is the backbone of your fleet operations, but are you unlocking its full potential? Many organizations use FleetFocus for core maintenance and asset tracking but stop short of leveraging the advanced tools and integrations that can save money, improve efficiency, and deliver real-time insights. From mobile-friendly workflows to automated fuel management and telematics integration, AssetWorks offers solutions designed to help you do more with the system you already trust. In this post, we’ll show you how to take FleetFocus to the next level with FleetFocus EDGE, AssetWorks GPS, FuelFocus, and Charge Management Software (CMS), modern tools you can start using today to maximize ROI and future-proof your fleet.
Why Modernize Your Fleet Management Approach?
Managing fleets isn’t just about keeping vehicles on the road; it’s about optimizing every aspect of operations. Traditional methods often involve manual data entry, siloed systems, and reactive maintenance, which lead to higher costs and inefficiencies. FleetFocus addresses these challenges by providing a web-based solution that centralizes asset tracking, maintenance scheduling, and reporting. When paired with integrated tools, FleetFocus becomes a complete ecosystem for fleet success.
Modernizing your approach means:
- Reducing downtime with real-time data and proactive maintenance
- Improving accountability for fuel and electricity costs
- Empowering technicians with mobile access and streamlined workflows
- Breaking down silos through seamless integrations with telematics, fuel systems, and EV charging
Core FleetFocus Features You Should Be Using
Before we dive into integrations, let’s revisit some powerful FleetFocus capabilities you may not be fully leveraging:
- Preventive Maintenance Scheduling: Automate PM schedules to reduce breakdowns and extend asset life.
- Work Order Management: Track repairs, manage commercial work, and streamline billing with features like shop calendars and barcode functionality.
- Inventory Management: Maintain optimal stock levels with part records, requests, and replenishments.
- Reporting and Analytics: Access more than 200 out-of-the-box reports and dashboards for actionable insights.
- Mobile Access: Enable technicians to update work orders and timecards on the go.
These features alone can transform your operations, but the real magic happens when you integrate additional tools.
