These features enable better accountability, improve business performance, enhance customer service, and give us our competitive edge over the private sector. FleetFocus gives Portland the ability to seamlessly and quickly access work order data on one screen, in one application, and close many work orders at one time.

CityFleet tracks all parts by using a bar coding system. This improved efficiency on the shop floor contributes to immediate productivity gains. FleetFocus is a flexible, adaptable interface that allows CityFleet to change the names of fields, hide tabs and streamline the screen. The ability to customize data has increased the value of the data for the department. This enables CityFleet to run incredibly relevant and accurate reports that lead to better fiscal decisions.
