Also launching now are two new services. RIO Maintenance presents maintenance and status data for the complete fleet. The workshop monitor, for example, displays the filling levels for various liquids, the state of the brake pads and the tyre pressures – with individually configurable maintenance components and due dates. Customers can also make use of a workshop administration tool as part of RIO Maintenance – and it organises manual servicing tasks. It costs EUR 0.22 per vehicle per day.
RIO Compliant manages tachograph and driver card data from an office desk. Files from the tachographs and driver cards are automatically downloaded when the vehicle’s engine starts up – the tachograph data every week and the driver card data every day. This information is filed in the RIO Cloud. It costs EUR 0.29 per vehicle per day.
Another package already available is RIO Essentials. This displays the positions of each vehicle in a fleet monitor every 15 minutes and provides other information like the identification of the driver, mileage data or how much fuel is left in the tank. RIO Essentials is also said to include an extensive operational analysis – and this evaluates large amounts of data at a vehicle level and makes this available to the fleet operator in the form of recommendations for action.
Hartmut Feuchtmüller, vice president, digital products & innovation, offered a preview of future service apps. “We’ll be able to offer valuable additions to the current portfolio at the Marketplace during the next few weeks. RIO Advance will enable customers to store user data for longer periods – as an extension to RIO Essentials – and will permit shorter intervals when analysing the performance of the vehicles. The mobile message service, RIO Push, will ensure simplified communications between the scheduling department and drivers. Order management will become child’s play with RIO Order: customers will be able to plan their routes more easily and assign them directly to drivers.”
