ZF Aftermarket unveils Vandy
ZF Aftermarket has launched Vandy, a smart fleet management platform designed to maximise vehicle uptime and reduce operating costs.
Vandy provides real-time tracking, automated maintenance scheduling and streamlined issue management to keep fleets running smoothly.
Businesses can improve efficiency, cut repair costs and enhance driver safety with Vandy’s all-in-one platform.
ZF Aftermarket has launched Vandy, a powerful new fleet management platform designed to help businesses streamline vehicle maintenance, improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Developed as part of ZF Group, a global leader with over a century of automotive expertise, Vandy is set to transform how fleet managers maintain and monitor their vehicles.
Managing a fleet comes with increasing challenges, from ensuring vehicle safety and minimising downtime to controlling costs and staying compliant with regulations. Vandy addresses these issues by providing an all-in-one solution that combines real-time insights, automated scheduling and comprehensive maintenance tracking in a single, easy-to-use platform.
Vandy enables fleet managers to stay on top of preventive maintenance by automatically generating maintenance schedules based on manufacturer guidelines and sending timely reminders.
This helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs while keeping vehicles operating at peak performance.
The platform also simplifies issue management, allowing fleet managers to quickly identify and resolve problems before they escalate, ensuring that vehicles spend less time off the road.
A key feature of Vandy is its real-time tracking capability, which provides live data on vehicle location and odometer readings, allowing fleet managers to make quick, informed decisions to keep operations running smoothly.
Vandy also offers a secure digital glovebox, where all important vehicle documents can be stored and accessed at any time. Automated alerts notify managers when documents are about to expire, helping businesses stay compliant and avoid last-minute issues.
Inspection management is also made easier with Vandy’s customisable digital checklists. Drivers can complete inspections on any mobile device, and any issues identified can be logged directly in the platform for quick resolution.
The platform also records trip details, including mileage, routes and driver information, giving businesses a clear overview of how their vehicles are being used.
Vandy is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing vehicle telematics systems, but for vehicles without built-in connectivity, ZF Aftermarket offers a simple plug-and-play hardware option. This allows businesses to track vehicle location, mileage and fuel consumption without complex installations.
The platform generates detailed reports on fleet performance, fuel efficiency and maintenance costs, giving businesses the data they need to optimise their operations and reduce expenses.
David Wakeling at ZF Group, said: “Vandy gives businesses the tools they need to take control of their fleet’s performance and operating costs. By combining automation with real-time insights, we’ve created a solution that helps businesses maximise uptime, reduce costs and improve driver safety. Vandy makes fleet management easier, more efficient and more transparent.”
