What the Fleet Manager does
- Tracks vehicle + equipment service schedules on mileage, hour, or date triggers and projects the next due date from recent mileage
- Reminds you on registration, insurance, and inspection expiry at 60 / 30 / 14 / 7 / 1 days
- Flags fuel-card anomalies — out-of-state, off-hours, MPG outliers — by signal combination, not noisy single flags
- Structures accident / incident intake into an immutable record and surfaces the follow-up checklist (police report? injury? claim? OSHA-recordable?)
- Keeps an audit-grade asset acquisition/disposal log (depreciation hooks for Bookkeeping) and gap-checks for missing items like DOT numbers
Why it helps landscaping owners
A truck off the road is a crew that cannot work, and a lapsed registration or missed service interval sidelines a job without warning. Fleet Manager keeps the maintenance and paperwork calendar on rails so the deadline you did not know was coming does not catch you.
