Municipal fleets

One record of every truck, every check and every repair for public works.

Councils and public works departments answer to auditors as well as residents. Fendrel keeps a dated, signed record of every inspection and repair on each unit, and schedules heavy equipment on engine hours as well as distance.

What changes

Where municipal fleets fleets lose time, and what Fendrel does about it.

Paper records that do not survive an audit

Every inspection carries the driver, time, odometer and photos, and can be exported per vehicle or per period.

Plant that runs while it stands still

Hydraulic and PTO equipment is serviced on engine hours, with whichever-comes-first rules alongside distance.

Many departments, one shop

Depots and roles keep parks, streets and water separate while the central shop sees one queue.
