Frequently asked questions
What types of fleet maintenance activities can Motive help manage?
Motive empowers you to handle both inspections and scheduled service for vehicles and equipment from one platform. Create detailed inspection records, document defects, schedule maintenance based on mileage, engine hours, or set time intervals, and track historic OOS durations.
Can I customize inspection templates and requirements?
Yes. You can build your own inspection templates or choose from pre-configured options based on regulatory requirements. There is flexibility to designate required information, add instructions for each inspection step, require photo attachments, and determine if previous inspections must be completed first.
How does Motive help reduce downtime and repair costs?
Motive automates maintenance workflows, provides preventative maintenance alerts, and offers real-time fault code monitoring. By identifying issues early and tracking unresolved defects, Motive helps reduce expensive delays and maximize vehicle and equipment uptime. Customers have reported up to 20% cost savings and significant reductions in time for repairs.
How does Motive track and display vehicle and asset availability?
Motive’s maintenance tools make it easy to mark vehicles or assets as out of service and view real-time availability. You can see how long an asset has been in or out of service, restrict drivers from connecting to OOS vehicles in the app, and generate reports on OOS frequency and duration.
Does Motive support compliance with roadside inspections and audits?
Yes. Motive provides built-in Driver-Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIRs), customizable templates, and digital documentation. These tools maintain compliance and ensure your drivers have the necessary paperwork and records for roadside inspections and audits.
Can I attach photos, notes, and documents to inspections and service entries?
Yes. Motive’s platform lets users attach photos, add notes, and upload documentation for inspections and service records. Service notes and attachments become part of the permanent maintenance history for each vehicle or asset.
How does Motive handle severe defects detected during inspections?
Drivers can flag defects and indicate severity directly within the inspection workflow. Vehicles with severe defects can be marked out of service and prevented from assignment until resolved.
How does Motive’s maintenance solution improve communication between drivers, dispatch, and maintenance?
All inspection and service activities are centrally managed. Drivers, dispatchers, and maintenance managers can view updates, leave notes, resolve issues, and instantly share status changes or attach evidence. This reduces communication gaps and ensures everyone is working with the latest information.
