// CASE STUDY: FLEET & MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

One Platform to Manage People, Equipment, Inventory, Fuel—and Every Maintenance Task

Case Study: Fleet Management System

A large, multi-site organization with a complex vehicle and equipment fleet needed a system that could unify operations across people, assets, service shops, vendors, and fueling infrastructure. Existing processes were fragmented between spreadsheets, shared drives, and vendor logins—making oversight and accountability nearly impossible.

A fleet of truck vehicles for a business fleet, lined up in a parking lot.

The Challenges

  • Disconnected systems for equipment maintenance, fuel, inventory, and CRM
  • Manual processes for work orders, parts requests, and warranty tracking
  • No central history of employee roles, certifications, or rate-based scheduling
  • Inability to manage inventory lifecycle or costs at the part-level
  • No on-site tools for rapid intake or shop-side documentation

The FireFlight Solution

We developed a custom, module-based fleet system that integrated real-time operations, asset tracking, inventory control, and advanced maintenance workflows using these FireFlight modules:

  • CRM / Contact Logs : Role, shift, rate, and skill tracking for staff and vendors
  • Invoices & Quotes : Departmental accounts tied to billing and operational profiles
  • Site & Location Management : Maintenance shop, site, and location management
  • Work Orders : Lifecycle tracking, templated PM schedules, on-site intake tools, and warranty/vendor claim integration
  • Inventory Control : Real-time tracking by site, bin, and vendor, with integrated PO lifecycle and returns
  • Materials & Parts List : Part-level cost tracking and procurement history
  • Fuel & Telematics : Live fuel usage linked to vehicle profiles, delivery tracking, and tank-level alerts
  • Custom Reporting : Ad hoc filters and saved reports across the fleet system
  • Ad-Hoc Reporting : Custom dashboards with saved filters and scheduled report delivery
  • Documents History : Timestamped logs of photos, reports, and certificates
  • Notes History : Audit-proof logging of field notes and issue comments
  • AI Integration : Predictive analytics for maintenance scheduling and operational insights

The Outcome

  • Fleet-wide activity unified into one live system
  • Technician intake reduced from 30 minutes to under 5
  • PM tasks standardized and automated across departments
  • Inventory shrink reduced through traceable usage and audits
  • Fuel consumption visibility improved across vehicles and shops
“We replaced six disconnected systems with one that does everything—and does it faster.”
