Add-on · Vehicle Fleet

Know which unit is ready before roll call.

Arcova Vehicle Fleet keeps assignment, maintenance due dates, compliance status, and operating cost on the same vehicle record — so a missed service or expired registration does not become a coverage gap.

Where fleet gaps become coverage gaps

When assignment, maintenance, and compliance live in separate lists, a down unit shows up as a service failure — not an internal maintenance note.

Missed service turns into unplanned downtime

Preventive due dates live in calendars nobody checks. The first signal is a breakdown during an active shift.

Registration and insurance age out quietly

Expired plates, insurance, or inspections surface in a stop or a client review — not in the readiness check before roll call.

Cost history never ties to the unit

Fuel and repairs sit in accounting entries disconnected from vehicles. High-cost units keep running without a clear replace signal.

How it works

From assignment to cost on the unit record

One fleet loop: assign the vehicle, capture usage, schedule service, then review cost against that unit.

  1. 1

    Assign with readiness in view

    Link vehicle, driver, and time window to the shift. Compliance and service state are visible before the unit leaves the yard.

  2. 2

    Capture usage against the assignment

    Mileage, fuel, and condition notes attach to the assignment so damage and custody questions have a record.

  3. 3

    Queue preventive and vendor work

    Upcoming and overdue service stay in one maintenance queue. Vendor repairs track estimate approval and status.

  4. 4

    Accumulate cost per vehicle

    Fuel, repairs, and operating cost roll up by unit so repair-versus-replace decisions use history, not anecdote.

Readiness before the patrol starts

The same vehicle record serves readiness, maintenance execution, and cost decisions.

Readiness before the shift starts

Flag units with unresolved compliance issues or overdue service before they are assigned to coverage.

Assignment and return with ownership

Checkout and return workflows keep who had the unit, when, and in what condition on one history.

Per-vehicle operating economics

Leadership sees cost concentration by unit over time when replacement and vendor decisions come up.

Same fleet moments. Fewer surprises.

What changes when readiness, service, and cost share one unit record.

Maintenance

Before

Due dates live in a driver’s head or a shared calendar. Skips become breakdowns.

With Arcova

The maintenance queue shows upcoming and overdue service so alerts fire before a skip becomes downtime.

Cost

Before

Fuel and repairs sit in accounting entries disconnected from specific vehicles.

With Arcova

Operating costs accumulate per unit so replace decisions use history, not gut feel.

Compliance

Before

Registration, insurance, and inspection expiry live in a sporadically updated spreadsheet.

With Arcova

Active, expiring, and expired status sits on the vehicle record before assignment.

Assignment

Before

Roll call starts with “where is the patrol car?” and no shared readiness view.

With Arcova

Vehicle, driver, and readiness state are visible when the shift is staffed.
