Planning servicing and roadworthiness tests through GPS tracking
Planning servicing and roadworthiness tests through GPS tracking means the system alerts you before a deadline is missed. SaveTrack watches both the kilometres driven and the dates and sends an alert, so no fines for an expired inspection and no expensive repairs from deferred servicing.
Why planning servicing matters
Neglected servicing is one of the most expensive mistakes in fleet management. A deferred oil change or worn brakes lead to bigger faults, vehicle downtime and lost work. An expired roadworthiness test means a fine and a car that must not be on the road.
The problem is that with several vehicles the deadlines are easily lost. Every car has a different interval by distance and a different date for its roadworthiness and emissions test. Keeping track of that in your head or in a spreadsheet is error-prone. This is exactly where automatic planning through GPS helps.
How GPS tracking helps with deadlines
SaveTrack knows the actual kilometres driven by every vehicle from the mileage log. That lets it alert you about servicing not only by date but also by the real number of kilometres. You set the interval – every 15,000 km, for instance – and the system watches for when the vehicle approaches the threshold.
Alerts arrive in advance, so you have time to book a slot and plan when the car will be out of service. For roadworthiness and emissions tests the system watches the expiry date and reminds you in good time. Nothing gets lost and you do not have to police it by hand.
Less downtime and lower costs
When you plan servicing in advance, you can slot it into a period when you do not need the vehicle so much. You will not lose a job just because the car suddenly needs repair. Planned servicing is also cheaper than an emergency repair after a breakdown.
An overview of servicing deadlines also extends vehicle life. A regularly serviced car lasts longer and has a higher residual value on sale. For the company that means lower running costs and fewer unpleasant surprises.
Keeping servicing records
Besides the alerts, you will appreciate having the servicing history in one place. You know what was done to the vehicle and when, which is useful for warranty claims and when selling the car. Clear records are useful for accounting too.
Together with the mileage log and fuel records you thus have a complete picture of every vehicle. That helps decide whether an old car is still worth repairing or whether it is time to replace it. Decisions are made on data, not on feelings.
Setting it up in SaveTrack
Servicing intervals and inspection dates are set for each vehicle according to its needs. Alerts then arrive automatically. You use the whole system on a computer or a phone and it is linked with real-time position, the mileage log and zones.
SaveTrack starts at €6 a month per vehicle, with no lock-in. With annual payment the Teltonika GPS unit is included and the price falls from €6 to €5 and down to €4 (floor €4). Tracking works across the whole of Europe and is included. We will gladly help with the initial setup.
FAQ
How does SaveTrack alert me about servicing?
The system watches both the kilometres driven and the dates and sends an alert in advance when servicing, a roadworthiness test or an emissions test is approaching.
Can I set different intervals for different cars?
Yes. For each vehicle you set its own servicing interval by distance and its own roadworthiness and emissions test dates.
Why is planned servicing cheaper?
Regular maintenance prevents major faults and emergency repairs, which are more expensive and take the vehicle off the road at an inconvenient time.
Does the system keep servicing history?
Yes, servicing records are in one place. That is useful for warranty claims, accounting and when selling the vehicle.
Does SaveTrack also watch roadworthiness test validity?
Yes, the system watches the expiry date of the roadworthiness and emissions tests and reminds you in good time, so you avoid a fine and downtime.
