From the Horizon FrontLine

Extending Horizon Vehicle Maintenance for other purposes

We just did a demonstration of our Vehicle Maintenance package to a construction company and it reminded me how you can extend the use of VME (and all of the Horizon trucking software) for other industries.

For example, an lawn care/landscaping company was looking at a way of tracking maintenance on their regular equipment. Although they had a few trucks, most of their equipment were mowers, hoes , tree diggers, etc. They don't have a need for the ATA work codes but they would still benefit from the great features found in Vehicle Maintenance by adding this equipment in as "Other vehicles" (it's a bit of a stretch but it works).

Using the Type field in Other vehicles, they are then able to track PM schedules on their equipment quickly and easily.

A few features really stick out when doing this: Alerts - a new notification service (still in beta) that pops up notifications when things occur and of course, the regular custom reporting that users can use.

Not to mention some of the cool maintenance tools we now have in VME including automatic PM item entry and PM notification.

VME is really becoming a very cool tool to work with.
