Preventive Maintenance Scheduling

Preventive Maintenance Scheduling

The cheapest repair is the one you never need. Upper’s preventive maintenance system lets you schedule services based on the triggers that match your fleet’s actual operating conditions, not just calendar dates. Set up PM schedules by mileage intervals, time intervals, engine hours, fuel consumption, or any custom metric you define. When a threshold is hit, Upper automatically generates a work order and notifies the right people.

Fleet Maintenance Work Order Management

Fleet Maintenance Work Order Management

Paperwork orders get lost. Verbal assignments get forgotten. Emails get buried. Upper replaces all of it with a digital work order system that tracks every maintenance task from creation to completion. Create work orders manually, or let the system generate them automatically from PM schedules, failed inspections, or ravine reports.

Every work order has a unique number, an assigned technician or vendor, a status, and a complete audit trail. Your driver dispatch management team sees vehicle maintenance status in real time, so they can reassign routes before a breakdown causes missed deliveries.

Fleet Parts and Inventory Management

Fleet Parts and Inventory Management

A repair should never wait for a missing part. Upper’s parts inventory system gives you real-time visibility into every part across every storage location, so you always know what you have, where it is, and when to reorder. When a technician completes a work order, the parts used are automatically deducted from inventory. No manual counting. No surprise shortages.

Digital Fleet Inspection Software

Digital Fleet Inspection Software

Paper inspection forms are unreliable. They get lost, they get filled out at the end of the day from memory, and they miss the details that matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What features are included in Upper’s fleet maintenance software?

    Upper includes preventive maintenance scheduling with five trigger types, digital work order management, parts and inventory tracking across multiple locations, vehicle inspections with DVIR templates, maintenance cost tracking with TCO analysis, a real-time dashboard, vendor management, vehicle lifecycle tracking, mobile app access for technicians, and issue-to-work-order automation.

  • How does Upper’s preventive maintenance scheduling work?

    Upper lets you set PM schedules based on mileage, time intervals, engine hours, fuel consumption, or custom metrics. When a threshold is reached, the system automatically generates a work order and sends notifications. Multi-stage email reminders go out at 30, 15, and 7 days before service is due, with individual and master toggle controls.

  • Can Upper manage work orders for fleet maintenance?

    Yes. Upper provides a complete digital work order system. Work orders can be created manually or generated automatically from PM schedules, failed inspections, or reported issues. Each includes a unique number, assigned technician or vendor, parts and labor breakdown, status tracking, team comments, and push notifications. Technicians can update work orders from mobile devices.

  • How does Upper track parts inventory?

    Upper maintains a centralized parts catalog with real-time stock levels across multiple storage locations. When parts are used on a work order, inventory is automatically deducted. The system sends low-stock alerts, tracks costs per unit, compares vendor pricing, and logs every part movement. You can also view consumption history per vehicle to spot high-use assets.

  • Does Upper support digital vehicle inspections?

    Yes. Upper replaces paper forms with digital checklists that drivers complete on mobile devices. The system includes pre-trip and post-trip templates, DVIR formats, and photo documentation. Drivers can complete inspections offline, and results sync automatically when connectivity returns. Failed inspection items automatically trigger work orders, so issues get addressed immediately.

  • How does Upper help reduce fleet maintenance costs?

    Upper reduces costs in three ways. Automated preventive maintenance catches problems before they become expensive emergency repairs. TCO analysis and cost-per-mile reporting identify high-cost vehicles for informed replacement decisions. Parts inventory tracking with vendor price comparisons ensures you are not overpaying for parts or holding excess stock.

  • Can I track the total cost of ownership for each vehicle?

    Yes. Upper calculates TCO per vehicle by aggregating maintenance costs, parts expenses, labor charges, and downtime costs over the vehicle’s lifecycle. Cost-per-mile and cost-per-kilometer metrics let you compare vehicles regardless of age or usage. When a vehicle’s costs consistently exceed the fleet average, the data justifies a replacement decision.

  • How does Upper handle vendor management for fleet maintenance?

    Upper includes a vendor directory with contact details, service history, and pricing for every external provider. You can compare vendor pricing for the same part or service, track outsourced repairs by vehicle and vendor, and maintain a complete history of which vendors worked on which vehicles. This makes evaluating performance and negotiating rates straightforward.

  • Is Upper’s fleet maintenance software suitable for small fleets?

    Yes. Upper is designed for small to medium-sized fleets and scales as your operation grows. Whether you maintain five vehicles or 500, the platform provides the same automation, visibility, and control. You do not need a dedicated IT team to get started. The interface is built for fleet managers who need results without complexity.
