Transportation

With the increased need for transportation of units and goods across multiple industries, coupled with heavy federal transportation sector regulations, transportation has become increasingly important and more complex. Transportation companies are responsible for managing multiple fleets across several locations, meaning they need methods of managing company assets that are convenient, efficient, and easily accessible. How do organizations meet regulatory requirements, extend asset life, optimize parts management, reduce road calls, and streamline planned maintenance?

Maximo for Transportation provides industry-specific software with automated alerts, campaigns, and lifecycle accounting capabilities while adhering to all regulatory requirements and following standard coding structures like those used by trucking companies or railroads.
