Quality stays high, costs low
Companies with multiple onsite garages and outside fleet maintenance vendors who try to keep quality standards high and costs low often end up spinning their wheels. Failure to find the right cost-quality-consistency ratio turns fleet vehicles into expensive liabilities that put success at risk.
Clients rely on the ARI Garage Maintenance System™, which makes internal and external resources seem like one. As part of ARI insights®, our GMS consolidates repair, labor and parts data and streamlines fleet maintenance and repair activities from one central source.
The integrated system manages the flow of both information and work, saving clients time and money. By lowering overall mileage and extending vehicle service life, clients get more use out of their vehicles, better fuel efficiency and better resale, too. GMS makes the fleet maintenance-repair process go smoothly, gets vehicles back on the road and keeps our customers in control.
Integrated approach drives costs down
After running into problems managing the work of multiple internal and external fleet maintenance resources, a utility client turned to ARI for help. Using our Garage Management System, we integrated all activities into a unified program, managing garage work and consolidating vendor-in/vendor-out repair data. By controlling maintenance card expenses, negotiating vendor discounts, avoiding unnecessary repairs and aggressively pursuing warranty recovery, our fleet services helped our client save $163,000 in the first 12 months.
