ADVANTAGES

Reduced System Investment
A PremierCare Connect system costs you less to implement, maintain and support than comparable systems in the marketplace today. By investing in leading edge technology PremierCare Connect delivers a fleet maintenance system that enables you to reduce up-front investments in computer servers, server software and accessibility hardware (either wiring or wireless routers), annual software upgrade costs and daily maintenance and support costs, while providing an industry leading Vehicle Repair & Maintenance and Inventory Control system.

Increased Parts Warranty Recovery
Parts warranty recovery is increased with the use of the warranty alert, claim creation and tracking process. Your PremierCare Connect system alerts the user when a part is used and where there is a possibility of a warranty recovery. The Warranty Claims screen walks the user through the process to research suppliers and their invoices, and track your claims and recovery dollars.

Reduced Investment in Parts Inventory
Customers report that they have reduced their parts inventory by as much as 60% using Connect systems with the support of their partnered Kenworth dealer. They also report that they have decreased their total inventory by reducing losses due to obsolete parts by using the inventory return feature built into the Connect system.

Increased Technician Productivity
Track labor activities by utilizing Service Repair reports to track mechanics labor activities. Customers report that they have reduced their indirect labor or those activities not directly tied to a vehicle repair by as much as 20%. The same reports can also help you determine each mechanic's strengths and weakness so you can assign the right mechanic to a job where he is the most productive.

Reduced Parts Purchasing Expense
The Connect systems provide quick and easy access to comparative parts costs reducing the need for numerous calls to find which supplier to buy from. The centralized electronic parts purchasing process reduces the time spent looking through stacks of papers or files for the details of your latest purchase.

Increased Parts Core Recovery
Inventory reports provide detailed information on your on-hand core value as well as the cores you owe to each supplier.

Higher Vehicle Resale Value
Used vehicle managers report that they can get a higher resale price on a piece of equipment that has a complete record of its maintenance and repair history, showing that the equipment was properly maintained. Connect's fleet maintenance program can provide any level of detail you require from summary repair records all the way down to individual Work Orders, any vehicle's repair history is available quickly and easily.

Increased Vehicle Availability
Connect's maintenance alerts keep vehicles on schedule, properly maintained, out of the repair shop and working on the job.

Fewer Repeat Equipment Failures
Connect's Service Repair reports and history screens allow you to analyze all aspects of your repairs thoroughly and quickly. Reduce repetitive equipment failures by identifying prematurely failing parts, or lessen expensive downtime through determining whether a specific mechanic is properly prepared for certain repair procedures.

Access to Reporting Metrics i.e., cost per mile, and others — for Vehicle Replacement
When is the best time to replace a vehicle? When the warranty expires? Or when the vehicle turns 5 years old? How about when its cost per mile or cost per hour of operation is the highest in your fleet? No matter what measurement you use to make that determination, Connect can monitor the numbers for you and provide comparative reports of the other vehicles in your fleet so you can make timely, well informed decisions to help maximize your return on investment.

System Access
Being Web-based, Connect's management system is accessible wherever you have a high speed internet connection. All you need is your login and password and you can access your company's information from anywhere in the world. With a Connect system you can increase your productivity by keeping up to date and in touch with what is happening with your business.

Faster/Easier access to maintenance records i.e., DOT audit
A DOT audit is a fact of life if you're a fleet, but with your repair records just a couple clicks away the whole process is simplified. Summary reports can quickly and accurately show the repair history of all your vehicles or just a selected vehicle. Other reports can provide detailed information for any unit or any number of units you require, or provide access to the information for a specific repair by drilling down to a specific Work Order.
