Fleet maintenance management software company Fleetio launched a Spanish language option in its mobile app, Fleetio Go.
The addition allows Spanish-speaking drivers and mechanics to participate in maintenance activities. Native speakers can submit inspections, log fuel entries and complete work orders in their preferred language.
Fleetio plans to reduce vehicle downtime, lower maintenance costs and improve safety with the new feature.
“At Fleetio, we understand the importance of a diverse workforce within the fleet maintenance industry,” said Esteban Contreras, vice president of product at Fleetio. “By offering Fleetio Go in Spanish, we’re empowering nearly a quarter of our customer base with the tools and resources they need to excel in their roles. This not only simplifies daily tasks and improves communication, but ultimately equates to a safer, more efficient fleet operation for everyone involved.”
The company plans to reduce training time for Spanish-speaking drivers and technicians, increase task completion and improve compliance.
“Fleetio Go in Spanish has helped remove the language barrier for our field employees and technicians, putting everyone on the same page regarding fleet unit maintenance,” said Ernest Garcia, director of fleet management and business systems at Gothic Landscape.
Users can switch between English and Spanish at any time within the app. Spanish help center articles, videos and support are offered as resources for onboarding and self-directed learning. The feature is available in the Essential, Professional and Premium plans launched in early 2024.
