FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Bus CMMS maintenance management

Bus CMMS creates work orders in seconds with pre-filled bus info and common issues. Assign to technicians based on skills and availability. Track progress in real-time as techs update from mobile devices. Parts are automatically reserved when work orders are created. Labor time is tracked automatically. The complete digital workflow eliminates paperwork, reduces errors, and speeds repairs by up to 45%.

Bus CMMS supports three types of preventive maintenance schedules: Time-based schedules (recurring services at fixed intervals like every 30, 60, or 90 days), Meter-based schedules (services triggered by odometer readings or engine hours), and Hybrid schedules (whichever comes first - time or meter reading). The system automatically tracks each bus's mileage and operating hours to trigger service notifications before schedules are due.

Labor codes allow you to define different types of maintenance work with specific hourly rates. Create unlimited labor codes such as "Engine Repair" at $95/hour, "Brake Service" at $85/hour, or "Electrical Diagnostic" at $90/hour. When technicians work on a bus, they log their time against specific labor codes. The system automatically calculates labor costs, enabling better budgeting and cost analysis across your buses.

Yes, technicians have full work order access through the Bus CMMS mobile app for iOS and Android. From their smartphones, technicians can view assigned work orders, update status, add service notes, log labor hours with specific labor codes, capture photos, record odometer readings, and mark work orders complete. The mobile app works offline and syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.

Bus CMMS maintains comprehensive, auditable maintenance records required for regulatory compliance. Every work order automatically captures date of service, bus identification, description of work performed, technician name, and supervisor authorization. The system links inspection defects to corrective action work orders, providing a complete compliance trail from defect identification through repair completion. Generate instant reports for audits.
