Maintenance Scheduling<\/h3>\n

77% of heavy equipment tracking<\/a> users say that scheduling maintenance is a must have application. Heavy equipment is constantly used and must be properly maintained. Breakdowns are not only costly to fix but also interrupts valuable business time and becomes a safety hazard.<\/p>\n

Traditional maintenance planning involves checklists and inspections. Unfortunately, employees may neglect or may forget to follow processes. This is where a preventative maintenance tool comes in handy.<\/p>\n

Preventative maintenance tools schedule and remind employees of service jobs. Administrators often assign service jobs by scheduling daily inspections or by scheduling services based on engine hours. Preventative maintenance, as a result, extend equipment life and prevents breakdowns.<\/p>\n
