Motive has launched a new, Artificial Intelligence-powered system to help track and manage maintenance workflows directly inside.
Built into the Motive platform, Motive Maintenance connects fault codes, inspections, maintenance workflows and spend data in a single system, so teams can detect issues earlier, keep more assets running and reduce emergency repair costs.
A new study by Motive found fleet professionals ranked rising maintenance and repair costs as their top operational challenge. Only 13 per cent reported their fleet management technology systems are well integrated and share data automatically across platforms.
As a result, most teams still run disconnected maintenance workflows and are left reacting to emergencies while overpaying for parts and labour.
“Teams shouldn’t learn about a failure from a roadside call—they should have the insight and ability to act early and prevent a costly breakdown,” said Hemant Banavar, Chief Product Officer at Motive.
“With Motive Maintenance integrated directly into the broader Motive platform, organizations have a comprehensive and early picture of a vehicle’s health, which allows them to proactively address issues before they become costly failures. This means fewer breakdowns, less downtime, and real savings on every vehicle and asset they run.”
Motive Maintenance is an AI-powered system that connects the vehicle or asset, the driver, repairs and the back office into one connected platform so teams can see problems earlier, fix them faster and understand the true cost of running every asset. A fault code detected becomes a prioritized work order in the shop, an inspection defect never falls through the crack, and every repair dollar is combined into a precise total cost of ownership (TCO) view.

AI fault code diagnostics translate complex codes into plain-language explanations to flag critical issues, recommend service and prompt drivers to take safe action.
As well, severity-based prioritization ranks issues automatically so teams can take appropriate action. Health insights combine defects identified in inspections and service schedules with vehicle and asset availability, so teams know what needs attention.
Automations can turn inspection defects captured in the Motive Driver App, fault codes, and service reminders into digital work orders so critical repairs are never missed. AI-powered invoice scanning reduces manual data entry by automatically populating maintenance records with accurate line items, clawing back hours of admin labor.
Motive Maintenance’s proactive warranty tracking helps teams stop paying for repairs already covered. Multi-location inventory tracking prevents over-ordering parts, and data-driven replacement analysis pinpoints the optimal time to retire a vehicle before it becomes a money pit.
