How do I assign users and admins?

To add users to your account, you can click on any vehicle of your choice, then click on the “User Assignments” icon located in the top right area. Once your on the user assignments dashboard, you can assign users by the entire Garage, folders(if you have folders setup), or by a specific vehicle. You can select the “Assignments” button either on the Garage, Folder or on the vehicle itself and click on “Add New Assignment”. This will allow you to enter in the email of the user you want to assign and make them administrators if you want to. If you want to assign a user to all vehicles or folders, its best to assign the entire Garage. After they have been assigned in the user assignments area, you can have all your users create a free account either through the app or on the web portal here: https://autosist.com/portal Once they sign up, they will automatically see the vehicles you assigned to them in the Garage. Be sure they sign up with the same email that you assigned to them in the User Assignments area.

Can I transfer my receipts or other records to anyone else?

Yes, you sure can! There is tool that allows you to transfer your vehicle to anyone you please. Here is a brief tutorial on how it works in the app: https://youtu.be/BzfhC4ZV8kM You will be able to select what records you would like to transfer by entering the email address of the person you are sending to. If they are not an AUTOsist member already, we will send them an email to notify them to download AUTOsist and accept the records. Please note that we will NEVER transfer any of your records stored in the GloveBox section.

Where should I store records that are not vehicle specific (i.e. Drivers license, AAA card, etc)?

These files should be stored under the “Personal Docs” tab in the Glovebox section. This will allow you to access these records across multiple vehicles and will not be deleted when you delete a vehicle. You should store vehicle specific docs like registration and title in the “General Docs” tab. These files will be deleted if you delete your vehicle.

What happens to all my records when I delete a vehicle?

When you delete a vehicle, all your records are deleted except for records located in the “Personal Docs” tab in the Glovebox section. Files stored here will stay in your account and should NOT be vehicle specific (i.e. Drivers license, AAA card, etc)

Can I email my records stored on the app? What format does it email in?

Absolutely! All individual records are emailed in JPEG or PDF format.

I forgot my email or password / I want to change my email or password

If you forgot your password, you can go here to reset it: http://autosist.com/portal/login/forgot_password. Please email us at admin@autosist.com if you would like to change your email.

Can I search easily through my records?

Definitely – When you add a record, you should put keywords in the Title and/or the details section. For example, if you have a receipt that you did an oil change, brakes, and maybe a new exhaust. You would want to put those keywords in the Title and/or details of the receipt when so that when you search, it will find those key words.

Fleet Optimization

Name: AUTOsist
Brand: AUTOsist
Rating: 4.7 (114 reviews)

Fleet optimization is the structured process of aligning vehicles, maintenance activities, utilization levels, and operational data to achieve lower operating costs, higher asset availability, and predictable service performance. It matters operationally because unmanaged fleets experience higher downtime, inefficient fuel use, accelerated asset wear, and inconsistent decision-making.

Cost vs Utilization Planning Matrix

Utilization Level	Risk	Recommended Action	Expected Outcome
Very Low	Idle cost waste	Reassign or downsize units	Reduced fixed costs
Moderate	Underused assets	Route consolidation	Higher efficiency
Balanced	Stable operations	Maintain schedule controls	Predictable uptime
High	Accelerated wear	Increase PM frequency	Extended asset life
Very High	Breakdown exposure	Add reserve vehicles	Service continuity

Reactive Management vs Optimized Fleet Management

Reactive Management

Repairs occur after failures
Limited data visibility
Higher emergency repair costs
Unpredictable downtime patterns

Optimized Fleet Management

Preventive maintenance scheduling
Centralized data tracking
Controlled maintenance spending
Predictable service availability

Operational Objectives of Fleet Optimization

Fleet optimization begins with defining measurable objectives that align operational performance with financial and service goals. Clear objectives allow fleet teams to evaluate whether adjustments in scheduling, asset allocation, or maintenance frequency are improving outcomes.

Reduce unplanned downtime and roadside failures
Extend vehicle and component life cycles
Control maintenance and fuel expenditure
Improve driver safety and compliance consistency
Maintain predictable service delivery levels

Outcome Focus

Stable maintenance intervals
Lower lifecycle cost per vehicle
Improved planning accuracy

Operational-Objectives-of-Fleet-Optimization

Data Inputs Required for Effective Optimization

Optimization decisions depend on consistent, accurate, and centralized data collection. Without reliable inputs, fleets rely on assumptions rather than measurable performance indicators, which leads to inconsistent results.

Odometer and engine-hour readings
Maintenance history and repair frequency
Fuel consumption and cost trends
Inspection reports and defect patterns
Vehicle utilization rates and idle time

Outcome Focus

Evidence-based decision making
Reduced estimation errors
Faster operational adjustments

Optimization Strategies and Control Methods

Once data visibility is established, fleets implement structured control methods to influence cost, uptime, and utilization balance. These methods focus on prevention, scheduling discipline, and asset alignment rather than reactive correction.

Preventive maintenance interval planning
Route and workload balancing across vehicles
Replacement cycle forecasting
Parts inventory standardization
Driver inspection accountability processes

Outcome Focus

Fewer emergency repairs
Balanced asset workload
Improved maintenance predictability

Optimization-Strategies-and-Control-Methods

Monitoring, KPIs, and Continuous Adjustment

Optimization is not a one-time initiative; it requires continuous measurement and periodic adjustment. Regular KPI reviews allow fleets to detect inefficiencies before they become operational disruptions.

Cost per mile or cost per kilometer tracking
Mean time between failures (MTBF)
Vehicle availability percentage
Inspection defect recurrence rate
Fuel efficiency trends

Outcome Focus

Early issue detection
Sustainable performance improvements
Long-term cost stabilization

Final Takeaways

Fleet optimization is a structured discipline centered on data accuracy, preventive controls, and continuous performance review rather than isolated cost-cutting actions.

Define measurable operational and financial objectives before making adjustments.
Centralize odometer, maintenance, fuel, and inspection data for consistency.
Use preventive maintenance schedules to reduce emergency repairs.
Monitor utilization balance to avoid both idle waste and overuse wear.
Review KPIs regularly and adjust strategies based on evidence.
