I don’t think there is anyone in the transport industry anymore that is not aware of the chain of responsibility requirements in place and the requirements for all transport operators to have in place and an active fleet maintenance plan.
The problem is the paper-based systems that have been traditionally used are cumbersome, time consuming and prone to failure. Who hasn’t had to spend hours and even days chasing service invoices, repair orders, pre-start logs, parts invoices and more when annual or bi-annual audits come round?
There is now a better and more efficient way.
And it is not limited to just large fleets. TM Fleet is an advanced fleet management software product that is available 100 per cent free for Australian fleet owners and operators.
With TM Fleet, one single online software product will manage your complete fleet management and maintenance requirements – for both good business purposes and for NHVR compliance.
TM Fleet will record extensive information on every vehicle and asset you own, putting all of this essential information in one easy-to-access place. The simple information is easy – rego, build date, engine number, VIN and so on, but you can also record your build sheets, service manuals, specific guides or how to info for complex assets (such as tankers and dangerous goods vehicles) and plenty more.
The next step is putting in place an active service management schedule for each asset, planning and then recording every planned, and non-planned service. TM Fleet can even generate repair orders so you can schedule work with third parties, tracking everything in a single place for future reference.
Of course your daily fleet management has to start with a pre-start on each vehicle and asset in your fleet. The TM Fleet Driver App makes this easy, fast and fully tracked. Your drivers can open the app and run a fully customisable pre-start, passing, failing or generating warning on every review item. When a driver notices an issue, they can take photo and log this in a pre-start – and TM Fleet will then actively track this through to completion, recording each step and every touch by your team in reviewing and then resolving the issue. A complete issue identification and resolution process – exactly what every auditor wants to see. All seamlessly integrated in one software application, all done in real time with ease.
Used by some of Australia’s largest fleets, including complex mixed fleets such as mining and gas giant Santos, you would think TM Fleet would cost thousands and be exclusive for large companies. Amazingly, the developers of TM Fleet, Australian owned Brightfox, have elected to make it 100 per cent free for small fleets and owner drivers. If you have under 10 assets in total, you can implement this amazing software for free!
Sure it works for the largest and most diverse fleets, but it is also perfect for small and medium on-highway truck and trailer fleets. There are already hundreds of drivers around Australia completing pre-starts every morning with the TM Fleet app so you know it works in the real world.
