The Future of Fleet Management: What RTA Has Planned for 2025 & Beyond
As the fleet industry continues to evolve with new challenges and technologies, fleet managers need tools that don’t just keep up but stay ahead of the curve. At RTA, we’re committed to helping you succeed with cutting-edge solutions that streamline operations, optimize resources, and empower you to make data-driven decisions.
Here’s a look at some of the exciting innovations on the RTA roadmap for 2025 and beyond, and how they’ll make a difference for fleet managers like you.
Fleet360: A Game-Changing Evolution
RTA is leading the industry with Fleet360, a modernized, web-based platform designed to give fleet managers an intuitive, powerful experience. Moving from RTA Classic to Fleet360 is more than a software upgrade—it's a leap into the future of fleet management.
Upcoming Features to Drive Efficiency
Here are some of the key advancements you can expect in Fleet360 that will empower you to overcome modern fleet challenges:
1. Automation with Workflow Engine
Imagine automating virtually any task in your fleet operations—notifications, work orders, approvals, and more. The Workflow Engine streamlines processes to save time and reduce human error. For instance:
- When a DVIR defect is logged, the system can automatically notify managers, assign a work order, and prepare the necessary parts—all in seconds.
- Approvals for motor pool reservations can become fully automated, based on your custom rules.
Impact: Workflow Engine will eliminate bottlenecks, improve task turnaround, and free up your team to focus on higher-value work.
2. Smarter Analytics for Better Decisions
RTA is doubling down on embedded analytics to provide real-time insights. Upcoming features include:
- Predictive Analytics: Know when parts will fail and plan for maintenance before it disrupts your operation.
- Benchmarking: Compare your fleet’s performance against industry peers with the largest fleet database available in RTA.
- Lifecycle Analysis: Pinpoint the perfect time to replace vehicles based on cost, performance, and age.
Impact: Analytics will enable you to reduce downtime, optimize spending, and make data-backed decisions with confidence.
3. Fleet Wiki: Combat Brain Drain
As veteran fleet professionals retire, knowledge gaps are becoming a major industry challenge. Fleet Wiki will help you centralize and organize policies, procedures, and critical documents right inside the system.
- Customizable resource pages ensure every team member has access to the right information when they need it.
- Minimize disruptions from staff turnover by making fleet knowledge easily transferable.
Impact: Fleet Wiki preserves institutional knowledge and ensures smooth operations, no matter who’s on your team.
4. Advanced Motor Pool Management
Managing motor pool vehicles is about to get a whole lot easier. RTA is introducing advanced calendar integrations and user-friendly tools to optimize scheduling and access:
- Integrate with Outlook or other calendars.
- Let customers book times directly based on available slots.
- Automate keyless vehicle access through mobile apps.
Impact: Streamline motor pool operations, reduce manual coordination, and improve vehicle utilization.
5. Improved Shop Scheduling and Parts Management
Efficiency is the backbone of any successful fleet operation. RTA’s roadmap focuses on two key areas:
- Shop Scheduling: Avoid bottlenecks by integrating calendars, managing bay availability, and ensuring parts are ready when needed.
- Parts Management: Automate parts delivery directly to technician bays, minimizing downtime and human errors in inventory management.
Impact: RTA will help you maximize technician productivity and minimize delays, boosting overall resource efficiency.
