Where should I store records that are not vehicle specific (i.e. Drivers license, AAA card, etc)?

These files should be stored under the “Personal Docs” tab in the Glovebox section. This will allow you to access these records across multiple vehicles and will not be deleted when you delete a vehicle. You should store vehicle specific docs like registration and title in the “General Docs” tab. These files will be deleted if you delete your vehicle.

What happens to all my records when I delete a vehicle?

When you delete a vehicle, all your records are deleted except for records located in the “Personal Docs” tab in the Glovebox section. Files stored here will stay in your account and should NOT be vehicle specific (i.e. Drivers license, AAA card, etc)

Can I email my records stored on the app? What format does it email in?

Absolutely! All individual records are emailed in JPEG or PDF format.

Define clear KPIs aligned with operational goals
Train teams on systems and reporting workflows
Scale optimization processes gradually across the fleet

Outcome:

Consistent execution across operations
Reduced implementation risk and disruption

Implementation Considerations for Fleet Optimization

Final Takeaways

Fleet optimization is an ongoing operational discipline that combines data, process standardization, and technology to improve performance and reduce costs.
