The best maintenance crew you'll never have to hire.

From the first service request to the final invoice, Axle helps you control maintenance costs and keep repairs moving.

Product workflow concept with sample data: a driver reports a coolant leak on Unit 218401 in an external WhatsApp or Google Chat conversation. Axle replies that work request WR-2190 was created, checks the maintenance schedule and identifies an annual DOT inspection under 49 CFR 396.17 due in nine days. The fleet manager approves both jobs for $946 before tax. After completion on September 18, 2026, Axle checks the invoice and signed inspection. The asset drawer opens to PM schedules: Last done changes from September 27, 2025 to September 18, 2026, Next due changes from September 27, 2026 to September 18, 2027, and the status changes from Due soon to Current. The interval remains 365 days. The drawer then switches to History, with the completed repair order and an Export action. Finally, an automatic message in the original conversation tells the driver that Unit 218401 is ready to return to service, the repair is complete and the annual DOT inspection passed. The illustration includes proposed WhatsApp, coordinated service and automated completion notification capabilities.

Two ways to put Axle to work.

ONE CONNECTED WORKSPACE

IN YOUR EXISTING SYSTEMS

Axle Teams

Automate the work behind repairs and payments.

AXLE PLATFORM

Less admin. Lower costs.

Bring your maintenance operation together. Axle keeps repairs moving, handles the paperwork and puts you in control of costs.

Automate the paperwork.

Forward the paperwork. Axle builds the repair record for you.

Sample product illustration: a forwarded $766 service invoice enters the Axle Inbox. Axle prepares a new repair order for Unit 2184, with $316 in parts and three labor hours at $150 per hour. After review, repair order RO-2190 is created with the invoice attached. Totals are before tax.

Find service. Keep work moving.

Work with your providers or find a vetted one through Axle. Keep the repair connected from request to invoice.

Sample product illustration with a fictional provider and schematic map: Unit 4312 needs an air-leak repair. Its request is shared with Cedar Fleet Service in Axle’s vetted network. A $485 estimate comes back to the repair, ready for review.

Catch overcharges before you pay.

See exactly where an invoice exceeds the work you approved.

Sample invoice review for Unit 2184: parts are $316 and labor is $150 per hour. Three hours were approved, but four were invoiced. Axle flags the extra $150 against the estimate, with both documents attached for review. Totals are before tax.

Turn repair notes into complete records.

Mechanics speak into their phones. Your team gets structured, VMRS-coded repair records.

Sample repair record: a mechanic dictates a voice note into their phone about coolant loss, a leaking pump seal and a successful water pump replacement. Axle prepares a structured record for the office team, organizes the concern, cause and correction, and suggests VMRS component 042-004-001, Water pump assembly, for review.

An audit trail that builds itself.

Inspections, repairs and sign-offs stay connected, ready to export when you need them.

Sample audit preparation: a coolant leak on inspection PM-1042 is linked to completed repair RO-2190 and a signed inspection with photos. The supporting records are assembled into an asset repair history PDF for Unit 2184.

MAINTENANCE COMPLIANCE

Audit-ready records.
Built with every repair.

Illustrative workflow with fictional records: a driver reports a coolant leak on Unit 2184 in inspection DVIR-1042. The finding is linked to repair order RO-2190. A technician replaces the water pump, verifies no leaks on retest and signs off. The repair, inspection and photos join the asset’s history, ready to export together as a PDF.

MAINTENANCE SPEND

See what’s driving your maintenance costs.

Compare assets, track changes and follow the cost back to the repair.

Sample maintenance report combining the spend overview with repair history. August spend is $14,400 across 30 eligible assets, $480 per asset, up 20% from July’s $12,000. The highest-spend assets are Unit 3301 at $2,400, Unit 4417 at $1,920 and Unit 2184 at $1,440. Unit 3301 has three approved repair costs: air system repair $1,140, brake service $780 and electrical repair $480. The air system repair includes $540 in parts and $600 in labor, with invoice INV-2148 attached. Sample amounts include no tax.
