The world of fleet management is rapidly changing, with technology playing a crucial role in driving efficiency. Geotab is leading the charge with the launch of its new Work Order Management product. This new tool is designed to simplify fleet maintenance tasks. Fleet managers can expect to see a more streamlined approach that makes managing fleets easier and more effective than ever before. In this post, we will examine the key changes from the Legacy Maintenance Center and the benefits that the new Work Order Management system brings to both experienced fleet managers and valued partners.
Understanding the Transition: What Is Changing?
As Geotab rolls out the new Work Order Management feature, it is essential to note the discontinuation of the Legacy Maintenance Center. This feature, which had limited access, will officially be taken offline on January 29, 2025. This transition aims to replace the old system with a modern tool that enhances fleet maintenance tasks.
Users of the Legacy Maintenance Center will not lose any functionalities. Instead, they will enjoy improved features that will make their maintenance operations smoother. If you have utilized the Legacy Maintenance Center in the last 60 days, you will receive a notification regarding this change on January 27.
Introducing Work Order Management: A New Era in Fleet Maintenance
The Work Order Management system signifies a substantial upgrade in fleet maintenance practices. This new product incorporates numerous functionalities into one platform, improving usability for fleet managers. Features like Maintenance Reminders and Upcoming Maintenance pages have been refined to provide a user-friendly experience, making it simpler to manage fleet operations.
The beta release on January 29, 2025, is poised to revolutionize the way users engage with their fleet maintenance needs, ensuring operations are more effective and predictable.
Key Enhancements of Work Order Management
Work Order Management Tab
A notable feature of the Work Order Management product is its dedicated Work Order Management tab. This section provides users with a complete overview of all scheduled maintenance tasks. The simple interface allows fleet managers to effectively track progress and prioritize tasks, ultimately boosting operational efficiency.
Maintenance Schedules Tab
The Maintenance Schedules tab enables users to create recurring maintenance tasks autonomously. By automating scheduling and allowing for customizable settings, fleet managers can tailor maintenance plans to fit the unique needs of their fleets. This functionality increases predictability and facilitates better planning, which is crucial for minimizing delays in operations.
Work Request Tab
The Work Request tab enhances the maintenance process by giving users a full view of upcoming and overdue maintenance tasks. Integrating Geotab's data insights, this feature allows for proactive maintenance planning and empowers users to submit urgent work requests whenever necessary. This capability helps teams respond quickly to issues as they arise.
Work Orders Tab
The Work Orders tab allows fleet managers to manage all active work orders efficiently. This feature not only tracks the status of each order but also provides insights into associated costs. By being aware of maintenance statuses and financial impacts, fleet managers can make informed decisions that enhance the overall maintenance strategy.

Benefits of Transitioning to Work Order Management
The shift to the Work Order Management tool presents numerous advantages for fleet managers. The newly integrated features provide a more user-friendly experience, allowing managers to allocate time to other important tasks. This centralized approach minimizes the use of multiple systems, leading to a more cohesive and organized maintenance strategy.
By leveraging data-driven insights, fleet managers can adopt proactive maintenance practices that reduce asset downtime. A study shows that companies that implemented proactive maintenance saw a 25% reduction in equipment failure rates. This efficiency not only translates into significant cost savings but also enhances the quality of service provided to customers.
Welcoming the Change for a Progressive Fleet Future
As we approach the launch of the Work Order Management product on January 29, 2025, it's crucial for fleets to prepare for this transformation. The phase-out of the Legacy Maintenance Center may signify an end, but it also heralds a future filled with potential for enhanced fleet management.
Valued partners and fleet managers must embrace this transition to remain competitive in a technology-driven landscape. By utilizing the features designed to optimize processes and improve maintenance oversight, Geotab's Work Order Management product is set to reshape how fleets manage their maintenance needs.
