There are some basic considera-tions fleets may want to consid-er when choosing the right software. "Because each vehicle maintenance software vendor takes a different approach, fleets should evaluate the software and the company supplying the software," says Ed Cooper, president and owner of Squarerigger Inc. "Small fleets should gauge whether the software is geared toward centralized or distributed data input. Centralized data input is where one or two users can enter all data including but not limited to work orders, fuel tags, purchase orders and PM inspections. Distributed data entry differs in that it allows the parts manager, as an example, to have his/her own screens, which are not encumbered by data entry screens that do not apply to the parts department."
