Van racking and outfitting specialist Modul-System has added a new feature to its Modul-Connect system, specifically designed to streamline maintenance management across entire fleets.

The new Modul-Connect Easy-to-Use System is designed to streamline maintenance management across entire fleets

The new Modul-Connect Easy-to-Use System is an extension of the Asset Tracker, which allows tools to be tracked in real-time and notifies users if a tool is left behind when leaving a worksite – ensuring that no tool is ever lost again.

The added maintenance feature, which can be used both with or without the asset tracker, aims to transform how businesses manage and maintain their tools and equipment, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

The app provides a detailed inventory of all tools and equipment within the fleet, providing real-time updates about their maintenance status and enabling users to keep records, schedule regular maintenance and ensure that all necessary documentation is readily available.

Users can set reminders for routine checks, repairs, and inspections, significantly reducing the risk of equipment failure and downtime.

The system can also be used to upload and store all necessary documentation – including manuals, warranties and maintenance records – facilitating compliance and efficient management.

Real-time alerts and notifications are sent out via the system to fleet managers and workers about upcoming maintenance or overdue tasks enabling prompt action to prevent potential problems.

The Modul-Connect system features an intuitive interface designed with ease of use in mind, while the platform is accessible via desktop and mobile devices.

Thomas Johansson, vice president of Modul-System, said: “Keeping track of tools and equipment is a significant challenge for many businesses. The cost of losing tools is not only about replacing the tools themselves but also about missing out on job opportunities due to not having the right equipment. Our new application addresses this issue by providing a centralised platform to monitor the status and maintenance needs of every item in the fleet.”
