Managing Filters for Your Machinery: How RE Fleet Manager Simplifies the Process

As a Service, Workshop or Fleet Manager, one of the biggest challenges you face is ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of your machinery and vehicles. This means keeping up with service schedules, selecting the right filters for each machine, and minimising downtime. 

However, managing filters for an entire fleet can be a complex and time-consuming process, often resulting in headaches from missed maintenance windows, wrong filter choices, and costly delays.

At RICO Europe, we understand these pain points, which is why we developed RE Fleet Manager — a game-changing tool designed to transform how you manage your machinery’s filters and service schedules.

The Challenges

Managing filters across a range of vehicles and equipment presents several challenges:

Tracking Service Schedules

For a fleet manager, missing a service date can mean more than just inconvenience; it can lead to equipment failure, costly repairs, and extended downtime. Without a centralised way to track service schedules, there’s a risk of overlooking critical maintenance dates, leading to unnecessary wear and tear on your machines.

Choosing the Right Filters

With so many different makes and models of machinery, choosing the correct filter for each piece of equipment can be confusing. Using the wrong filter not only affects performance but can also cause long-term damage to engines, hydraulics, and other crucial components. Manual selection or guesswork opens the door to errors.

Managing Inventory and Orders

Ordering filters at the right time and keeping track of which filters are needed for which machines can become a logistical nightmare, especially if you’re managing multiple sites or have a large fleet. You run the risk of understocking and delaying maintenance or overstocking and wasting resources.

Preventing Downtime

The ultimate goal of any fleet manager is to minimise downtime. Every day that a machine is out of service is money lost. However, missed maintenance, incorrect filters, or slow ordering processes all contribute to costly downtime.

How RE Fleet Manager Solves These Problems

RE Fleet Manager is a comprehensive, easy-to-use platform that directly addresses these common pain points. Here’s how it simplifies filter management:

1. Centralised Management

Managing machinery and vehicles across multiple platforms or spreadsheets can quickly become chaotic. RE Fleet Manager centralises all your data, allowing you to manage everything from one platform. Whether you're tracking service schedules or keeping an inventory of required filters, all the information you need is available at your fingertips.

2. Service Schedule Maintenance

Missing a service date can have disastrous consequences, but RE Fleet Manager helps you stay ahead. By inputting your equipment’s service intervals, you can easily track maintenance schedules. The system even sends automated alerts via email when a service is due, ensuring you never miss a critical date. This feature alone helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and maximises the lifespan of your machinery.

3. Custom Filter Guides

Choosing the right filter no longer needs to be a guessing game. RE Fleet Manager offers custom filter application guides tailored to your specific fleet. This guarantees that you select the right filter for each piece of equipment, eliminating the risk of costly mistakes. You can easily download the guide or update it as new models are added to your fleet.

4. Effortless Filter Identification

Gone are the days of scrambling to identify the correct filter type. With RICO Europe’s Part Finder filter identification tool, you can instantly find the right product for your machine, whether it’s an air, oil, fuel, hydraulic, Cabin or AdBlue filter. This saves time and ensures you always have the right parts on hand for maintenance.

5. Streamlined Ordering

Managing your filter inventory and placing orders has never been easier. The platform simplifies the ordering process, allowing you to place filter orders directly from the system. This reduces the time spent on procurement and ensures your inventory is always stocked, preventing any delays in maintenance.
