Maintenance management: Prevent breakdowns and reduce fleet costs.

The main difference lies in the timing and the purpose of each:

• Preventive maintenance: planned in advance to avoid breakdowns and extend the working life of the vehicles. It covers things like scheduled services, oil changes or tyre replacement, planned by mileage or by time.
• Corrective maintenance: carried out when a breakdown or unexpected problem needs repairing — in other words, it acts after the problem has appeared.

FleetMax handles both types and keeps the complete history of every job on each vehicle, which helps you see whether you are investing more in prevention or in repairs.

When you plan a maintenance job in FleetMax you attach a reminder that warns you in advance, choosing whether to be notified from a given number of kilometres remaining or a number of days before the due date.

You can also decide who receives each reminder. Instead of always notifying yourself, you can direct it to the right person — the vehicle's driver or the person responsible for maintenance — making sure the warning reaches whoever has to act.

These early notifications give you time to line up resources, coordinate teams and book the work in, keeping vehicle downtime to a minimum. Beyond maintenance reminders, FleetMax has a Reminders area where you can follow every fleet notification in one place, including scheduled maintenance and jobs already overdue.

Yes. In FleetMax you can name the person responsible for taking each vehicle in for maintenance, so there is full visibility of who is handling each job and none ends up without an owner.

If you want that person to be told the date, simply create a reminder for the job and select them as the recipient, so they receive the notification with the lead time you set.

Yes. In FleetMax you can link maintenance jobs to a vehicle's maintenance contract. Each completed job is then tied to the corresponding contract, which makes it easier to keep costs in check and to verify that the services covered by the contract are actually being delivered.

Yes. When you create a maintenance reminder you can set it to repeat at whatever frequency you choose, up to a cut-off date of your choice. While the work remains undone you keep being reminded, so an overdue job does not slip through unnoticed.

On top of that, the FleetMax dashboard includes a widget listing all overdue maintenance, giving you an immediate view of the jobs that are past their due date and still not done.

Yes. Because FleetMax records every maintenance job and its cost per vehicle, you can easily identify which assets spend the most on repairs, through the dashboards and each vehicle's history.

This analysis helps spot vehicles with recurring repairs or above-normal maintenance costs — a signal that may justify a closer inspection, or support the decision to replace a vehicle when keeping it no longer pays off.
