Challenges utilities and municipal fleets face
If you manage a utility or municipal fleet, these problems are probably creating liability and operational risk right now.
Compliance requirements on every CDL vehicle
Utility and municipal fleets often operate vehicles requiring CDL endorsements with strict DVIR and HOS requirements. Manual paper logs are a liability. One failed roadside inspection can affect your operating authority and create costly regulatory headaches.
Specialized equipment needs rigorous PM
Bucket trucks, digger derricks, and aerial lifts have manufacturer-mandated inspection and maintenance intervals that cannot be missed without creating safety and liability exposure. A missed annual inspection is not a paperwork issue — it is a worker safety issue.
Fleet spread across multiple depots and districts
Managing equipment across service territories without a central system creates blind spots about what is where and when it was last maintained. NovaGear gives every asset a live profile accessible to any manager or dispatcher from any device.
Emergency response equipment must be ready
When a utility emergency occurs at 2 AM, every vehicle and piece of equipment needs to be known-good. An unknown maintenance gap is a risk you cannot afford. NovaGear's fleet health dashboard shows the status of every asset at a glance, around the clock.
Aging fleet with no documented history
Older vehicles and equipment often have incomplete or paper-only maintenance records. Without that history, diagnosing problems takes longer and costs more. Building a complete digital record from day one gives your mechanics and managers the context they need.
Reporting requirements for compliance audits
Utilities and municipalities often face audits requiring maintenance records, inspection logs, and compliance documentation for their fleet. All of it should be exportable on demand — not assembled from a filing cabinet the week before an audit.
Features utilities and municipal fleets use most
DOT Compliance
Electronic DVIRs, HOS tracking, and law enforcement display mode for CDL vehicles. Mark only the vehicles that require it — the rest stay on standard maintenance tracking.
Preventive Maintenance
Hour and mileage-based service plans with automated reminders. Reusable PM templates for equipment classes. Never miss a manufacturer-mandated inspection interval.
Equipment Registry
Bucket trucks, utility vehicles, and generators with full asset profiles. Make, model, year, serial number, and complete service history. Organized by depot, district, or equipment type.
Work Orders
Assign repairs to mechanics with detailed line items. Track parts used and labor time. Managers see real-time status across all open work. Complete service records maintained automatically.
Offline PWA
Field crews in dead zones can still log meter readings, complete inspections, and report issues. Everything syncs automatically when connectivity returns. No data loss, no manual steps.
Reporting & Exports
PDF and CSV exports for any date range. Service history, DVIRs, and maintenance records exportable on demand for audits and compliance documentation. No assembly required.
How it works for your crew
Every role on your team gets the right tools without the complexity they do not need.
Operators & Drivers
Pre and post-trip inspections, meter logging, and issue reporting — fully offline capable. Complete DVIRs on their phone in the field. Simple interface that does not require training. Syncs automatically when back in range.
Fleet Mechanics
Work through a PM queue organized by priority and due date. Clock in and out of jobs. Log parts from inventory. Close out work orders with a full service record. The paperwork handles itself so mechanics stay productive.
Fleet Managers & Supervisors
Fleet readiness dashboard shows compliance status and maintenance gaps at a glance. Cost reporting and audit exports ready on demand. Full visibility across all depots and districts from one screen.
Utilities & Municipal FAQ
Yes. Mark vehicles as DOT-regulated to enable electronic DVIRs, HOS monitoring, and law enforcement display mode. Non-CDL assets stay on standard maintenance tracking. You only pay for what you use and compliance features are included at no extra cost.
Yes. Service history, DVIRs, and maintenance records are exportable as PDF or CSV for any date range. Generate an audit package in minutes rather than pulling records from a filing cabinet.
Yes. Any asset — bucket truck, digger derrick, aerial lift, generator, or utility vehicle — gets a full profile with equipment type, serial number, complete service history, and maintenance schedule. Everything in one place.
