Fleet under control: vehicles, drivers, fueling, maintenance and traffic fines

The van that carries the crew, the sales team's car, the truck that hauls the setup: a graduation company's fleet is expensive and easily slips out of control. The module handles vehicle records, documentation, fueling, preventive maintenance, traffic fines and cost per kilometer driven, with the driver identified on every trip.

The problem and the fix

The problems Fleet solves every day

If any of these situations sounds familiar, it is because they happen in almost every graduation company, until the right system comes in.

The problem

The vehicle registration expired and nobody noticed until the police checkpoint.

With Partiu Formatura

Vehicle documentation with expiration dates and alerts before they lapse, alongside insurance and inspection.

The problem

A fine arrives and nobody knows who was driving.

With Partiu Formatura

Trips with an identified driver, so the fine is linked to whoever was behind the wheel and to the corresponding event.

The problem

Fueling is paid without checking consumption, and spending rises with no explanation.

With Partiu Formatura

Fueling with mileage, liters and amount, generating average consumption per vehicle and an alert when it strays from the norm.

The problem

Maintenance only happens when something breaks, and always the day before an event.

With Partiu Formatura

Preventive plan by mileage and by date, with advance alerts and history per vehicle.

The problem

There is no way to know how much the fleet costs per event served.

With Partiu Formatura

Cost per vehicle and per trip allocated to the event, feeding into the class margin.

In practice

Real examples of Fleet working for you

Everyday situations at graduation companies, from the problem to the result, using the modules on this page.

01

Abnormal consumption caught within the month

The scenario

Fuel spending on one van rose 30% with no increase in operations.

With the system

Average consumption started being calculated at each fill-up, and the alert fired when the pattern broke.

The result

The inspection found a mechanical problem at an early stage, fixed before it became a breakdown on event day.

02

Fines assigned to whoever was driving

The scenario

Fines arrived months later and the company absorbed all of them without question.

With the system

Every trip started recording driver, time and destination, and fines were matched against that record.

The result

Accountability became clear, and the number of violations dropped once drivers knew about the control.

03

Preventive maintenance done before the season

The scenario

Commencement season was starting in two weeks and the fleet had no scheduled service.

With the system

The mileage-based preventive plan pointed out which vehicles were close to their limit.

The result

Services were done in the open window, and no event had a transportation problem all season.

  2. 2Trip loggedDriver, destination, event, and mileage are recorded at departure and on return.
  3. 3Costs postedFuel and maintenance come in with receipts and become accounts payable.
  4. 4Preventive alertsExpiring documents and upcoming services trigger a warning before the roadside check or the breakdown, not after.
