For those managing fleets (trucks, light cars, or bikes), corrective maintenance cost is the villain. **Jestor** allows creating an **Automatic Preventive Maintenance** system, where odometer logs trigger cloud alerts for oil changes, tires, and service.

### **The driver forgets, the system doesn't**

If you rely on the driver to say the oil is due, the engine blows. You need a system where:

1. **Refueling:** The driver logs KM and Liters in the app when refueling.
2. **Calculation:** Jestor calculates the average (MPG/KPL). If consumption spikes, it could be fuel theft or mechanical trouble.
3. **Alert:** The system warns: "Vehicle ABC-1234 reached 10,000km. Schedule service."

### **Departure Checklist**

Before leaving, the driver does a quick mobile checklist (Tires, Lights, Bodywork). This creates accountability. If the car comes back dented, you know who did it.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does it track fines?** Yes. You can integrate with DMV APIs or manually log fines, linking them to the driver for payroll deduction.

**Does it work for car rental companies?** Yes. Jestor manages the rental contract, return date, and return inspection.

**Can I attach the Driver's License?** Yes. The system warns when the driver's license is about to expire, avoiding serious fines.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, your fleet runs more and spends less, with total control over every mile.
