Technicians and drivers can now update parts and consumable inventory used directly within Fleetio's inspection workflow. The new Inventory Adjustment inspection item lets team members record parts used during an inspection, automatically updating inventory counts for the selected location.

This is especially useful for common inspection-related consumables like oil, fluids, filters, and other frequently used parts. Technicians and drivers can select the inventory location, add one or more parts, enter the quantities used, and submit everything during the inspection.

The Inventory Adjustment item is only available for Static and Average Cost inventory valuation methods. FIFO and LIFO inventory valuation are not supported at this time.

Only available to Premium plans.

Fleets using Service Assignments are seeing 10% higher service reminder compliance and resolving overdue work 50% faster. When assignments include SMS and a shop recommendation, jobs are often completed within hours instead of weeks.

Overdue reminders often don’t get completed because no one owns them. Service Assignments solves that by giving drivers clear responsibility and the context to act immediately.

What’s included:

• Clear ownership for every overdue task – Assign reminders to a driver and track responsibility with Assignee and Assigned At visibility
• Faster decisions with built-in shop recommendations – Point drivers to the right vendor using Find a Shop, complete with directions
• Actionable notifications that drive follow-through – Send service details via SMS and/or email so drivers can act right away
• Visibility into progress without manual follow-up – Track acknowledgment and completion without chasing updates

Available to all plans

You can now set up Automation workflows that take action the moment a telematics fault is received, so nothing important waits on manual follow-up.

Use fault details like code, count, or criticality to decide what happens next. Automatically create an issue, assign it to the right person, and set the appropriate priority right away. For lower-value signals, filter out known nuisance fault codes to avoid creating unnecessary issues.

It’s a more consistent way to move from fault detection to issue triage and resolution, without adding extra steps for your team.

Available to Professional, Premium, and Enterprise [Legacy] plans.

We’ve expanded AI Service Advisor to handle routine work automatically and highlight the decisions that require review.

With this release, you can now enable Service Advisor approvals in our Maintenance Shop Network, automatically approving certain repair orders when the smart assessment is acceptable.

What’s new

• AI-assisted auto-approvals: Repair orders within a defined dollar range can now be approved automatically when the smart assessment is acceptable. Anything in that range that requires review or is unacceptable will not be approved and will remain in the queue for human review.
• Clear visibility: Repairs will show when they're approved by the Service Advisor, along with the date and time.

You can use Service Advisor approvals alongside the dollar auto approval limit within the shop network. For example, anything under $200 is automatically approved, and anything between $200 and $2,000 will be automatically approved if the Smart Assessment is acceptable.

AI Service Advisor is currently in Open Beta for a limited time. Participation in the beta does not guarantee future access to the feature or its current pricing structure.

When a part is bought specifically for a job, getting it into the right work order shouldn’t take extra steps.

Customers using a Static Pricing inventory valuation method can now receive purchase order line items directly into an existing work order or create a new one on the spot. That means no more receiving into inventory first, then re-entering the same part details again. Quantities, costs, and source information carry over automatically, so everything stays accurate without the duplicate work.

This is especially helpful for just-in-time purchasing or field work, where speed matters and parts are often bought for a single job.

Available to Professional, Premium & Enterprise [Legacy] plans.
