Managing Your Fleet with Digital Vehicle Reports

Fountain Tire was the first in Canada to introduce a nationally advertised digital vehicle reporting (DVR) system for light-duty fleets, giving businesses full transparency into their vehicle maintenance. With real-time photos, videos, and status updates, our DVR system helps fleet managers track maintenance needs, plan for downtime, and save on costly repairs—making it easier to trust the process and keep operations running smoothly.

At Fountain Tire, we strongly believe in full transparency with our customers. We know that trust doesn’t always come easy; that’s why we were the first in Canada to introduce a digital vehicle reporting system for light-duty fleets.

The digital vehicle reporting (DVR) system, allows our technicians to take photos and videos of every part of your vehicle so that you can fully understand exactly what parts need fixing, what doesn’t, and even what areas might be due for a repair shortly.

When it comes to managing a light-duty fleet, having a DVR changes the game. It allows you to see the live status of each of your vehicles when they are in our fleet centres, giving you an up-to-date maintenance record, the ability to plan for downtime, and the opportunity to save money — by giving you the chance to repair before it becomes a costly replacement.

If your fleet operates out of more than one yard, our DVR system allows you to actually see your equipment and know what is going on no matter where you are, instead of relying on someone else to make important decisions for your vehicles.

In 2017, Driving Force partnered with us after seeing the benefits of what a DVR could do when managing its fleet.

When asked to reflect on our DVR program, Mike Fisher, Driving Force’s Sr Manager, Supply Chain and Logistics, talked about what a game-changer it’s been:

“Fountain Tire has been a valued vendor partner of Driving Force for many years, helping us service and maintain our fleet to the high standards that our customers expect. The digital vehicle reports are an invaluable tool, as we know which items require service immediately, which items will need to be serviced soon, and which maintenance items are in good shape.

“The accuracy and consistency of the pictures included in our digital vehicle reports allow us to have concise and confident discussions with our internal teams and customers about our fleet's maintenance requirements. The Auto-Serve product is key in building trust with our customers about maintenance needs. It ultimately helps keep our costs down by ensuring our vehicles get the required maintenance when required.”
