Hi Bruce,
We have a number of customers using IFS Applications and IFS Cloud for managing fleets. One immediate question is what type of equipment and what requirements you have with regards to managing these.
Our Fleet and Asset Mgmt customers include companies in the aviation, rail, shipping and oil industries, where they use the solution for managing equipment that has strict configuration rules, follow up of serialized items, specific maintenance requirements for these, fault reporting and repair etc.
If you can provide more details with regards to your specific requirements, I can provide more information on how to best support those.
Regards,
Geir Sigve
Thanks for your response so quickly
We have a fleet of company cars for employees, along with fleet of trucks (HGV/LGV) for shipping goods and also mobile plant.
We would like to manage these items, recording the drivers allocated, maintenance, lease end dates, fuel and repair costs associated with the vehicles etc.
Are your customers using the asset management module to mange their fleet?
Hi Bruce.
Yes, our customers are using the Fleet and Asset Mgmt solution for managing their fleets. The customers that are using the solution today do typically have more complex equipment than cars and trucks, but it will support any type of equipment.
In short, the solution provides the following capabilities:
- Managing configuration rules
- Managing serialized configuration
- Defining maintenance requirements
- Logging usage
- Reporting issues with the equipment
- Planning and executing maintenance
- Tracking operations including type of operation, personnel involved
There are obviously a lot more details, which are better described in a short meeting
I just pitched Fleet And Asset Management to a potential new customer to manage their fleet of vehicles so FAM is alive and well.
Fueling has been an issue with us. As a mining company, we have about 200 mobile pieces of equipment that fuel daily. Unfortunately, from we have been told, the only way to get those fuel costs to the equipment, you have to do a work order and material requisition. That is an extensive amount of time to complete.
