“Notifications” module.

Zavgar Online” is a system for  vehicle maintenance planning and monitoring.

Why are notifications crucial for fleet management? 

Fleet operation is a complex process that requires utmost attention and scrupulousness. Regular maintenance is often not carried out on schedule, which leads to serious breakdowns and, accordingly, long out-of-service periods and, as a result, significant financial loss. In fact, every vehicle has its own working life, to simplify the work in the Zavgar Online system, “Notifications” section has been created, which in its turn consists of:

  1. Service reminders. This subsection is the most important and interesting for everybody. It primarily covers vehicle regular maintenance (regular service maintenance, consumables replacement, etc.). We also recommend creating service reminders for all vehicle units, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended replacement intervals for these units. These simple steps will significantly reduce the total cost of owning a machine, as well as virtually eliminate vehicles going out-of-service due to force majeure repairs. Planning and keeping everything in order is the best way to effectively manage your fleet 
  2. Vehicle notifications. A vehicle is an asset. The maintenance of assets always carries certain expenses, including financial. This includes paying for insurance, permits, access documentation, etc. This means that expenses and actions occur at regular intervals, and in case of non-renewal, the company suffers extensive losses. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not always customer-focused and they can’t or they forget to always remind the responsible person in advance that renewal is necessary. Mechanics shift the responsibility to drivers, but often they fail. “Zavgar Online” system will not forget anything, it will remind you in advance and will save scans of all documents in the system.
  3. Contacts notifications. Everyone is waiting for autonomous vehicles in the next 10-20 years, but for now the driver is a core element of vehicle fleet operation. Drivers are often not very committed to work and this leads to fines, equipment downtime and other troubles. The driver’s license must be renewed, as well as drivers’ facilities access documentation. “Zavgar Online” system will remind not only the driver himself, but also his management and persons concerned. Also, the system can remind about the employee’s birthday, congratulate him, he will be pleased СМАЙЛИК
