FleetNet America’s Forklift Maintenance Management Program is designed to handle forklift maintenance needs while controlling maintenance costs and keeping equipment in profitable operating condition. We will alert you of mechanical issues before they turn into costly repairs, maximizing equipment uptime and keeping your forklifts in peak condition. Our program monitors maintenance costs, hours of usage, equipment condition and other factors that can affect performance. We provide this information via our secure web environment 24/7..
This program is under our Managed Care division which encompasses the management and administration of all maintenance, handled through third party vendors, for commercial equipment. FleetNet provides all elements of a fleet equipment maintenance program including the establishment and oversight of preventive maintenance programs. The purpose of Managed Care is to manage vendors and the maintenance process, ensuring sound maintenance programs at every location nationwide, as well as OSHA rules and regulations and company compliance. FleetNet’s management of the vendors and maintenance process allows management to see “where the money is going.” Each invoice is audited for accuracy and compliance. The Managed Care program allows consolidated billing, interfacing with the customer’s cost tracking system as well as dollar level thresholds for estimates and approvals..
Our Managed Care team audits and edits the repair integrity, negotiates PM pricing and locks in hourly fees for sub PM repairs. The main focus of Managed Care is to setup, schedule, validate, and complete PMs and unscheduled repairs. The program captures completed PM forms, OSHA documents, and actual copies of the vendor’s invoices. We also provide an ASP model to prevent the costly purchase of hardware and software thus minimizing capital expenditures for your company.
