Logistics Fleet Reduces Unplanned Downtime

A 45-vehicle logistics operator moved maintenance scheduling and driver inspections off spreadsheets into GarajiFleet. Managers gained early warning on overdue service and structured workshop requests.

Outcomes below reflect common patterns from Kenyan customer rollouts — representative composite scenario, not a single named client.

The Challenge

Vehicles missed preventive service until breakdowns disrupted routes. Drivers reported issues on WhatsApp with no odometer context. Workshop approvals bounced between field managers and external garages.

The Approach

  • Configured service intervals by vehicle class with overdue alerts
  • Deployed mobile pre-trip inspections with photo capture
  • Centralised maintenance approvals with workshop-ready job details
  • Tracked cost per vehicle alongside fuel logs

Reported Outcomes

Overdue preventive service events

Before: Reactive / ad hoc

After: Scheduled with 14-day lookahead

Inspection compliance visibility

Before: Paper books archived late

After: Same-day manager dashboard

Workshop request rework

Before: Frequent missing details

After: Structured requests with odometer + photos

Unplanned downtime incidents (reported)

Before: Top operational complaint

After: Downward trend over two quarters

Drivers still use their phones — but now the inspection actually reaches the desk before the breakdown does.
