Arsenault Associates says version 4.4 of its Dossier fleet-maintenance management software offers a number of updates and upgrades, including a new invoice data import
option. It also features the latest revisions and updates for VMRS (Vehicle Maintenance Recording Standards).

Invoice data import enables Dossier users to import outside maintenance vendor’s invoices and repair orders directly into the program, eliminating manual data entry while
increasing data accuracy. It should benefit any fleet that uses one or more outside vendors for repairs and those that use third-party contract maintenance services, saving
money and freeing up human resources while increasing control.

Vendors can send their invoices by e-mail in data files that can be imported directly into Dossier, providing a history of each transaction. This data import also updates vehicle mileage readings, parts and labor costs, and cost per mile, while also recording and updating PM service schedules automatically. Users can produce repair-order histories, PM schedules, and many other summary reports on the work performed.

The VMRS upgrade in Dossier 4.4 contains more than 1200 new or revised codes, many – but not all – involving the bus body and off-highway sectors of the transportation and equipment industry.

Dossier 4.4 is available immediately as a program upgrade for current users or as a whole system for new customers.
