Last week at the Ford Fleet Preview event in Dearborn, Telogis and Ford introduced Ford Telematics Maintenance Connect, an industry-first capability telematics software solution that enables Ford commercial customers to share key diagnostic and maintenance information with a Ford service center of their choice. Maintenance Connect delivers an easy, proactive and efficient path to improved vehicle maintenance, providing access to certified Ford service technicians and parts, and helping to reduce costs associated with unanticipated service needs and vehicle downtime.
Maintenance Connect will be available this summer for all existing and new Ford Telematics customers. It provides actionable vehicle diagnostics and preventive maintenance schedules for more efficient and less costly vehicle repairs with maximized vehicle uptime. Through the Ford Telematics solution, Maintenance Connect is able to deliver the severity of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and Ford’s recommended course of corrective action.
Ford commercial customers have benefitted from the connected vehicle data and rich analytics through Ford Telematics powered by Telogis since 2011. Maintenance Connect now delivers an integrated experience with Ford’s network of dealers in the U.S. and Canada.
