With Spare EAM, agencies typically see mechanics using the system within weeks, not months. For example, Gold Coast Transit District reached 100% mechanic adoption in just 30 days, saving two hours of daily paperwork. Because the platform is mobile-first and built for walk-up usability, mechanics can log inspections, update work orders, and track parts directly from a phone or tablet—without lengthy training or IT-heavy onboarding.

Yes. A connected EAM platform like Spare EAM links garages directly to scheduling and dispatch. Inspection data, work orders, and asset health flow into daily operations in real time. If a vehicle fails a pre-trip inspection, dispatch can be notified immediately and runs can be rebalanced without last-minute disruptions. AI also helps schedule preventive maintenance around peak service windows. The result is better alignment between maintenance and operations, fewer road failures, and more reliable service for riders.

Enterprise asset management goes beyond vehicles. Spare EAM supports the full lifecycle of transit and municipal assets—including facilities, equipment, fueling stations, and infrastructure. Agencies can track inspections, repairs, and service history for buses, paratransit vehicles, non-revenue vehicles, and garages in one system. By managing all assets holistically, agencies can extend asset lifecycles, reduce costs, and make better investment decisions across their operations.

Spare EAM was built with FTA compliance in mind. It automatically records inspections, work orders, and parts usage in an audit-ready digital log. Agencies can generate standardized reports in minutes instead of chasing spreadsheets or paper forms. With SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance for data security, plus AI copilots that flag repeat defects and automate custom reports, teams save time while meeting even the most complex reporting requirements.

• Reactive maintenance means fixing equipment only after it breaks. This often leads to unplanned downtime, higher repair costs, and service disruptions.
• Preventive maintenance means servicing vehicles and assets on a regular schedule—based on mileage, engine hours, or time intervals. This approach reduces breakdowns, lowers repair costs, and improves overall reliability.
