Arsenault Associates, a specialist in fleet maintenance management software, has partnered with the wireless experts at Networkcar to bring vehicle data to Arsenault’s Dossier system automatically and wirelessly.

Networkcar’s key product is Networkfleet, a vehicle management and wireless communication system. Dossier and Networkfleet are being integrated to automatically transfer odometer readings and diagnostic trouble codes to enhance the scheduling of preventive maintenance and eliminate data entry.

Networkfleet gives fleet managers the power to access near real-time information on virtually every aspect of fleet operations via the Internet. Along with GPS location information, the system’s in-vehicle device also collects diagnostic information and meter readings.

Dossier will integrate the diagnostic information and meter readings collected by Networkfleet to automate the control and administration of fleet maintenance management. Preventive maintenance events will be triggered without having to gather or check meter readings manually. Diagnostic trouble codes will be provided in near real time, enabling fleet managers to take corrective action before minor problems turn major.

Dossier software is used to manage a variety of mobile and fixed assets that require periodic maintenance. It helps fleet managers track repairs, plan preventive maintenance, and evaluate the cost of operating assets.
