Kiepe Fleet Management KFM
Better vehicle availability and lower maintenance costs with intelligent process data management.
The aim of every operator is reliable and efficient fleet management. For the KFM system, the control technology in the vehicle records all events, environmental and operating data and software statuses. This process data is periodically transmitted to the transport company's base station in a secure, encrypted manner and visualized by the KFM system in a clear and user-friendly manner.
The transport company therefore has optimal insight into the condition of each individual vehicle and the entire fleet at all times. As soon as a deviation is detected in the vehicle, the transport company can react promptly thanks to the collected data and coordinate precise measures with the workshop.
Optimized maintenance processes are therefore the particular strength of KFM. Based on the constant recording, linking and evaluation of the extensive operating data, KFM enables well-planned maintenance measures for the entire fleet. The result is smooth fleet operation and cost savings for the operator.
