Fleet maintenance is the backbone of any operation that relies on vehicles, equipment, or tools. For industries like construction, delivery, healthcare, bussing & transportation, landscaping, logistics, airports, municipal services, field service, and so many more, downtime due to unplanned maintenance isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s lost time, productivity, and revenue. A proactive, data-driven maintenance plan is essential. Trackem GPS offers a powerful tracking and fleet management platform with a built-in Fleet Maintenance module designed to streamline servicing, reduce operational risks, and extend the life of your fleet and other valuable business assets.
Whether you manage a fleet of trucks, a lineup of excavators and skid steers, or a collection of service vans, trailers, portable generators, or lawn maintenance equipment, Trackem GPS offers the tools you need to stay ahead of maintenance, minimize equipment-related disruptions, prevent costly repairs, and reduce downtime.
Automated Maintenance Scheduling and Reminders
Trackem GPS includes a dedicated maintenance module that allows fleet managers or maintenance coordinators to set up and manage routine service actions across the entire fleet of vehicles and equipment. These actions include common maintenance needs such as:
Oil changes
Tire rotations
Brake inspections
Wiper blade replacements
Tire pressure checks
Coolant level monitoring
Hydraulic checks
Belt changes
Lubrication of bearings and joints
Blade sharpening for mowers or saws
Each of these tasks can be scheduled using criteria like odometer readings, engine hours, GPS mileage, or date/time intervals. When a service is due, the system sends a customized notification via email, SMS, or in-app alert, ensuring maintenance stays consistent and never gets overlooked.
One of Trackem GPS’s standout features is the ability to send alerts not just to internal users like drivers or maintenance managers, but also to external personnel, such as off-site technicians or third-party mechanics. This ensures that the right person receives the right message at the right time — eliminating communication gaps and missed maintenance windows, and keeping your fleet running efficiently and on schedule.
Centralized Maintenance for All Asset Types – from trucks to trailers to tools
Trackem GPS’s fleet maintenance capabilities are not limited to traditional vehicles. The platform is built to track all kinds of mobile and stationary assets, including:
Company trucks and service vans
Heavy construction equipment like backhoes, dozers, and excavators
Trailers and towable machinery
Lawn and landscaping equipment
Small engines and tools such as generators, compressors, and power washers
Each of these asset types has its own maintenance needs — from oil changes and coolant checks to mower blade sharpening or bearing lubrication. With Trackem GPS, you can schedule these tasks based on mileage, engine hours, or time intervals, and automate alerts so nothing gets missed.
Maintenance That Pays Off
Staying on top of scheduled fleet maintenance has clear, measurable benefits for businesses of all sizes:
Reduce Downtime: Routine service helps catch problems early, minimizing the risk of unexpected breakdowns that can sideline equipment and disrupt workflows.
Extend Asset Life: Proper maintenance keeps engines, tires, and components running smoothly, preserving value and performance longer.
Cut Repair Costs: Preventative maintenance is far cheaper than emergency repairs or full equipment replacements.
Boost Fuel Efficiency: Clean air filters, correctly inflated tires, belt replacements, and well-lubricated parts reduce drag and strain on engines and other mechanical parts.
Improve Safety and Compliance: Ensuring that vehicles and equipment are roadworthy and safe can reduce liability and help meet regulatory requirements.
Smart Monitoring of Driving Behavior
Beyond fleet maintenance reminders, Trackem GPS offers powerful driver behavior monitoring, helping reduce wear and tear from poor driving habits and extending the life of your fleet assets. The platform detects and logs harsh events that contribute to accelerated mechanical degradation, such as:
Harsh braking
Sharp or aggressive cornering
Rapid acceleration
Excessive idling
These data points help managers coach drivers on safer, more fuel-efficient habits that cause less wear on equipment and parts. Over time, this not only reduces the need for frequent maintenance but also cuts fuel costs and improves overall fleet health. In industries like delivery, construction, transport, and municipal fleets, where vehicles are constantly on the move, real-time behavioral insight from Trackem GPS is essential for optimizing fleet performance and reliability.
Ideal for a Range of Industries
Trackem GPS’s maintenance capabilities are designed with flexibility in mind, making the system an excellent fit for a wide range of industries, including:
Construction: Pick up trucks, excavators, track dozers, skid steers, trailers, and power tools with precision. Prevent jobsite delays from equipment failure.
Delivery Services: Keep vans and trucks on the road with scheduled oil changes, tire rotations, and brake checks.
Logistics and Transportation: Manage maintenance across a distributed fleet of freight haulers or buses and reduce the risk of costly roadside repairs.
Landscaping: Track usage hours on mowers, sharpen blades on schedule, and keep trucks, trailers, tools and generators in peak condition.
Municipal Services: Ensure reliable performance from city vehicles, plows, street sweepers, emergency fleets or utility trailers.
Field Service: Protect tools and small engines that are constantly moved between job sites from neglect or overuse.
No matter the size or scope of your operation, if your business relies on equipment, Trackem GPS helps you protect that investment.
A Smarter Way to Manage Maintenance
With everything from email reminders for oil changes to SMS alerts for tire pressure checks, Trackem GPS removes the guesswork from fleet maintenance. Instead of relying on manual logs or memory, businesses can automate the process and get ahead of potential issues. This results in:
Fewer breakdowns
Lower operating costs
More reliable operations
Happier drivers and customers
Even better, all maintenance history is stored in the system — so you always have a detailed digital log of services completed and upcoming, accessible anytime you need it.
Whether you're running a large logistics company, managing a construction fleet, or operating a small landscaping crew, Trackem GPS offers the tools to help you stay proactive, reduce expenses, and protect every asset you rely on. From service vans to compact generators, maintenance is no longer a burden — it’s a powerful, data-driven competitive advantage.
