TruckX provides holistic fleet maintenance solutions, making the maintenance processes as time- and cost-effective as possible to keep your vehicles at the height of operational readiness. We automate the scheduling of routine maintenance — think oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and so on. By setting up appropriate thresholds, fleet managers can send automated alerts to ensure that maintenance is conducted according to the assigned schedule, ensuring high uptime and extending the lifecycle of the vehicle.
In addition, TruckX can give fleet operators real-time monitoring of ‘key performance indicators’ about their trucks – including how their engines are running, how much fuel they’re using, and how many miles they’ve covered. All this data can theoretically be used to carry out preventative maintenance so that vehicles are off the road only when necessary.
