Tires are one of the most expensive line items in any fleet, and most DVIR defects still turn into a phone call, a dispatcher relay, and a delay before a technician even knows there's a problem.

Our 2026 Summer Release changes that.

The new Tires module tracks full lifecycle history by position, and our Isaac Instruments integration turns a logged defect into a work order automatically, location pin included, no dispatcher relay required.

Less time chasing down what happened on the road. More time keeping trucks moving. See how it works:

This update tackles three of the biggest friction points in fleet maintenance: tracking your most expensive components, closing the gap between the road and

Utility assets don't fail on a schedule. Poles, transformers, cables, and switchgear age at different rates across an entire service territory, and for years, most utilities have managed all of it the same way: fix what breaks, inspect what's due.

That model is running out of runway. The real bottleneck isn't a lack of sensors, it's maintenance data still scattered across systems that don't talk to each other, leaving crews and planners working off two different versions of the truth.

We broke down what it actually takes to move from calendar-based inspections to a real, unified view of grid health:

Utility assets age unpredictably, yet most utilities still rely on scheduled inspections and reactive repairs. The real barrier to smarter maintenance isn't sensor technology but fragmented data spread across disconnected systems. Connecting inspection records, work orders, and asset histories into....

Oil and gas assets don't sit in neat, accessible rows. They're spread across shale fields in Texas, oil sands in Alberta, and refineries that have been running for decades, and that geography alone makes maintenance a logistical puzzle before you even factor in aging infrastructure or tightening regulations.

Add in a cyclical industry where maintenance budgets get deferred every time prices dip, plus a shrinking pool of skilled technicians, and it's easy to see why "run to failure" quietly becomes the default instead of the exception.

The operators pulling ahead aren't necessarily spending more. They're spending smarter. Real-time asset visibility, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring are turning reactive fire drills into planned work, even across the most remote sites.

We broke down exactly where the pressure points are and what's actually working for teams tackling them: https://hubs.li/Q04qZzF30

Keeping the yard running shouldn't mean choosing between efficiency and compliance.

That's the idea Alexandria David and Evan Ufkes broke down earlier this week in "Keeping the Yard Running: Smart Maintenance for Terminals, Warehouses, and Distribution Centers."

The idea: inspections shouldn't sit separately from maintenance work, they should turn into an audit-ready record automatically, no extra steps for technicians.

Thank you to Alexandria and Evan for walking through how this plays out across rail, transit, and fleet yards.

A study published in Sensors puts a number on something facilities teams already feel: poorly maintained building systems can waste 20 to 30 percent more energy than they should. Not from major failures, from small operational drift that never gets caught.

https://hubs.li/Q04pC07y0

That drift is expensive precisely because it's invisible. A missed filter swap or an unlogged fault code doesn't show up until it's already a utility bill or a failed audit, by which point the cause is impossible to trace.

The researchers' conclusion lines up with what we see in the field: the bottleneck isn't the maintenance work, it's whether the data behind it is real-time, accurate, and reaches the right people.

Having a platform equipped to log inspections and work orders the moment they happen, straight from a technician's phone, helps supervisors see what's overdue in real time instead of in a weekly report, and the audit-ready record already exists when you need it.

The operation and maintenance of buildings has seen several advances in recent years. Multiple information and communication technology (ICT) solutions have been introduced to better manage building maintenance. However, maintenance practices in ...

Your fleet's data infrastructure is stronger than ever.

The next frontier is not more data. It is making sure that data reaches your crew at the exact moment they need to act on it.

A fault code that takes four hours to become a work order is not a technology problem. It is a workflow problem. And solving it is where the most significant maintenance performance gains are being made in 2026.

We unpacked the ex*****on opportunity in our latest piece: what high-performing fleets are doing differently, and how the mobile-first approach is changing what field maintenance looks like in practice.

Reactive maintenance has a cost. It's distributed across emergency repairs, accelerated degradation, and a budget gap that widens every year.

The underlying issues with aseets are the same whether caught early or late. The only variable is timing, and timing is what determines whether a repair costs thousands or hundreds of thousands.

The organizations narrowing that gap aren't doing it by spending more. They're doing it by capturing better data, earlier, and acting on it before small issues become expensive ones.

In this blog, we breakdown the hidden costs of reactive maintenance and it's impact on operations. Read it here:

Compliance in rail is rarely the issue, proving it is.

Our customers tell us the same thing again and again: the work gets done, but tracking what was done, when, and where becomes the real headache.

Earlier this month at the CSLRA 2026 Annual Conference, G Satish tackled this head-on in a session called “Built In, Not Bolted On.”

The idea: compliance tracking shouldn’t be a separate step, it should happen automatically as maintenance work is done, with everything available whenever you need it.

If you’re dealing with this challenge, it’s worth the watch.

A maintenance platform is operational infrastructure. It determines whether your program is reactive or proactive, whether your compliance holds under scrutiny, and whether your crews can do their best work in the field.

The organizations that lead in rail choose their platforms accordingly.
We wrote the criteria worth building to, and what that standard looks like in practice.
