Fleetio owners and admins can now add custom fields to specific vehicle records in Fleetio using the Vehicle Type field. For example, if you wanted to identify the type of bucket installed on your bucket trucks, you could add a custom field that only applies to "Bucket" vehicle types (see image). 

Available for all plans with access to Custom Fields.

We’re excited to introduce an update to the Repair Order (RO) notifications system! Owners and administrators can now easily create custom notification policies for repair orders and assign subscribed users to specific vehicle groups directly from the system settings. This update ensures that users can efficiently manage notifications, keeping all relevant parties informed and up to date with repair updates from shops. With this enhancement, communication becomes smoother, and managing repairs across vehicle groups is more streamlined than ever.

You can now switch the term Vehicles to Assets in Fleetio to better represent the makeup of your fleet.

If you're an Account Admin or Owner, you can make the update by navigating to Settings > Administration > General Settings and setting the Vehicle System Label to your preferred system label.

Updating the Vehicle System Label to Assets will change the name of vehicle fields, reports, and menu items from Vehicle to Asset in Fleetio's web app only.

Available to all plans.

Working with Ford Pro™ Telematics, we are proud to share the expansion of our embedded integration with Ford modem-equipped vehicles and Ford Pro™ plug-in device technology. 

Now, Fleetio and Ford Pro™ Telematics subscribers can:

• Connect their telematics account to the Fleetio platform
• Ensure preventive maintenance compliance across the entire fleet
• Centralize critical fleet health data within Fleetio

Through direct integration of data from Ford Pro™ with Fleetio's platform, users can proactively monitor vehicle utilization trends, create accurate replacement programs and ensure preventive maintenance compliance is achieved across the entire fleet.

Warranty management now includes tracking and surfacing part warranty opportunities. Once added in Fleetio, warrantable parts will be flagged on a work order when they're replaced, making it easier to identify warranty opportunities when service is completed. To get started, we've added warranty-related columns to the Parts Import template. You can also add warranty details to an individual part.

Alerts on Work Orders

When a part is under warranty and replaced on a work order, the technician will be alerted and asked to confirm the part replacement. There's also a checkbox when adding warranty terms to a part that specifies if the part should be retained.

Part Warranty Opportunities Report

Once you have the details you want, you can save and schedule it so it lands in your email when you need to review for claim submissions.

Part warranty features are available on Premium plans.
