In our business, we're very tough on vehicles
H&M landscaping is a family-owned company
were rushed full service landscape design/build maintenance
as well as snow removal company we cover
significant geographical area throughout Northeast Ohio
currently we have 82 vehicles everything from
pickup trucks service vans small dump trucks
as well as large single axle dump trucks we have a lot of equipment on the road
which is important for us to be able to
to track that identify where it's going on a daily basis
the snow removal process alone is very *** trucks it's a forward and
backwards
constant motion an acceleration stop
our vehicles are constantly running loaded with something whether you're
pulling a trailer
they're carrying a loaded soil or material so it's very critical that you
keep has made it safe comes up
we had some issues in our maintenance scheduled maintenance practices
where there were some things that got messed maybe that will change in truck
went to like 10,000
supposed to be a five thousand this program is allowed us to get a better
handle on that
we don't have those misses were tracking
vehicle equipment service much better its telltale
comes to our system simple isn't getting email reminder on a daily basis
weekly basis however that vehicle schedule comes into play
it's reduced our maintenance our maintenance
mistakes I should call significant it's allowed us to keep our trucks
in better condition better share staying up on top of that so we're hoping that
it's gonna
potentially increased you know the life span
summer vehicles by following that correct me
schedule the old tracking method everything from a simple is tracking
oil changes window stickers mechanics checking
doing an audit as far as mileage on its on a weekly basis
so we realized that we needed to do something a little bit more
with the paper trail that mean somebody has to physically go out
checked that comin recorded on it some other type a piece of paper
it's really the old fashion way to do things it became cumbersome
keeping track at that paper trail as well as the time spent doing it
we have a automated system now that is tracking our mileage
vehicles will get an alert that says this truck is due
within 500 miles of an oil change allows our supervisors
are mechanical staff to schedule that vehicle in and not affect our production
it's a very simple process
we use it to track everything we track all the mileage of our vehicles
wetherbee tire rotation transmission oil changes
just your regular book scheduled maintenance that comes along with owning
a vehicle
we've used it as a like an automotive management system
when it just come see our service schedules it's very important
