Fleet Management Reporting
Performance Metrics, Life Cycle Costing and Department Level Budgeting
VFM prepares a report that contains a list of “PM No Shows” and any other pertinent information related to PMs. Our fleet maintenance report is a periodic report that outlines statistical analysis, findings, and recommendations to improve fleet maintenance. We let management know about any un-delivered vehicles as soon as possible. Consequently, our policy is to remember the no–shows and, if the vehicle develops a problem, we will determine where the problem originated from and rectify it.
