An ongoing survey by Arsenault Associates indicates that 56% of fleets that employ maintenance software use it first and foremost to automate preventive maintenance scheduling. The survey also noted slightly fewer than 44% of all fleets use software specifically designed for fleet maintenance, the only type of software capable of fully automating complicated preventive maintenance service scheduling. 33% still use paper maintenance records if they keep records at all. More than 200 fleet executives, managers, and line staff have taken part thus far.
