Use Data from SolarTrak GPS Trackers to Schedule Repairs
October 15, 2020 | Posted in Asset Management
Here’s a good way to help your fleet last longer – automate your maintenance.
A Virginia Tech study on machine maintenance said that repair costs are reduced by 25% when people regularly schedule maintenance.
Its easy to use SolarTrak data to make sure maintenance stays on schedule.
Simply enter when you’d like to send the equipment to the shop – by days of operation, mileage or engine-hours. SolarTrak will send a text or email to you and your crew chief or repair shop foreman, making it easy to schedule a PM visit.
And when your crew is called to a repair, they can first check SolarTrak data to know:
Exact location of the equipment
Current battery status
Recent engine-hours
Equipment failure can cost businesses hundreds of dollars every day they’re out of service. The cost of replacement equipment goes up every year. SolarTrak costs a mere $9.95 per month per tracker.
Equipment that lasts longer can make you more money. Protect your fleet by using SolarTrak fleet management. Call us at 484-223-4994 to schedule a free demo.
