I think there is no one left in the transport sector who is not aware of the chain of custody requirements in place and the requirements that all transport operators must have in place as well as an active plan maintenance of their fleet.

The problem is that traditionally used paper systems are bulky, time-consuming and prone to failure. Who hasn’t had to spend hours or even days searching for service invoices, repair orders, pre-startup logs, parts invoices and more during annual or semi-annual audits?

Now there is a better and more efficient way.

And this is not limited to large fleets. TM Fleet is advanced fleet management software available 100% free to Australian fleet owners and operators.

With TM Fleet, a single online software product will manage all of your fleet management and maintenance needs – both for business purposes and for NHVR compliance.

TM Fleet will record detailed information about every vehicle and asset you own, putting all of this essential information in one easy-to-access place. Simple information is easy to obtain: rego, build date, engine number, VIN, etc., but you can also save your build sheets, service manuals, specific guides or practical information for complex assets (such as tankers and dangerous goods vehicles) and much more.

The next step is to establish an active service management schedule for each asset, planning and then recording each planned and unplanned service. TM Fleet can even generate repair orders so you can schedule work with third parties, tracking everything in one place for future reference.

Of course, the day-to-day management of your fleet should begin with a pre-boot of each vehicle and asset in your fleet. The TM Fleet Driver app makes this easy, fast and fully tracked. Your drivers can open the app and run a pre-start, pass, fail, or generate a fully customizable warning for each assessment item. When a driver notices an issue, they can take a photo and save it before driving off – and TM Fleet will then actively track that issue to completion, recording every step and contact your team makes to review and then resolve the issue. issue. A comprehensive problem identification and resolution process – exactly what every listener wants to see. All perfectly integrated into a single software application, all in real time and with complete simplicity.

Used by some of Australia’s largest fleets, including complex mixed fleets such as mining and gas giant Santos, you would think TM Fleet would cost thousands of dollars and be reserved for larger businesses. Surprisingly, the developers of TM Fleet, Australian company Brightfox, have chosen to make it 100% free for small fleets and owner-drivers. If you have less than 10 total assets, you can implement this amazing software for free!

Of course, it works for the largest and most diverse fleets, but it’s also perfect for small and mid-sized on-road truck and trailer fleets. There are already hundreds of drivers in Australia doing pre-starts every morning with the TM Fleet app, so you know it works in the real world.
