RTA product overview

What is RTA?

RTA is an integrated vehicle tracking and inventory management solution designed for transport businesses of all sizes. The hybrid solution can either be installed locally on-premises or hosted on a secure cloud facility. RTA Fleet Management Software is a multi-feature solution comprising various modules for vehicle/equipment management, inventory management, work order management, tire & fuel management and driver reporting among others.

Key benefits of using RTA

• RTA enables fleet managers to keep track of part failure statistics and generates an alert when a part is due for replacement, helping to avoid costly breakdowns.

• The integrated paperless shop module helps businesses to account for every minute of labor, ensuring the digital clock in and clock out of all employees and staff members.

• Users can create purchase orders and automatically share them with the best-rated associated vendor.

• RTA Fleet Management software provides cross-facility ordering tools to support centralized ordering and centralized billing of equipment.

• The solution integrates with multiple bar code devices to print & scan barcodes for different parts and speed up the data entry process.

Pros
It does a great job of keeping track of all the information and the reporting is very good. IT management is very simple once it is installed, and the upgrades are straightforward as well.
Their 7.0 product will help them be a lot more competitive with the big players, it puts them right up to the top. Between the price and what you get, I would use and suggest RTA time and time again.
You folks are about the best vendor we deal with as far as a superior product, outstanding customer service and all around nice people.
Cons
Once the modules are completed or loaded, we should be shown how to use them instead of asking to be trained. Also some of the modules we have found there were some problems.
The fact that 2 or more Techs can't be on the same job without opening a second line is also awkward.
It's lack of ease when it comes to reporting and odd inter face between paperless shop and the main work order system.

Great Product

Reviewed 7 years ago

As with many products, there's pros and cons. The pros with RTA largely outweigh the cons. They have great customer support. Their turnover rate is low so you end up talking to the same people, and when you call you get a friendly voice not an automated system. Its not a one size fits all solution, they will fit it to your business. They will customize if you want. It doesn't come with a huge price...

We are very new to the system. The more we learn the more we enjoy it.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Monthly reporting since we use QuickBooks. Our accounting department relies on us to inform them what we used for parts and supplies. End of month reports break usage into easy to use formats, that help us report accurately.

Pros

Fleet preventative maintenance tracking along with templates. We haven't use part kits yet but hope to within this calendar year. Part inventory tracking. Preprogramed reports at end of periods, once we learned all the correct ways to post/ receive different parts. User Conference keep having them. This is where Belinda and I have grown to like the system. We have also learned that we only use about 15% of what RTA can do for us. We are learning and implementing new things all the time.

Cons

in paperless shop, if you click on finish job. It is done and gone. It would be nice if there was a pop up that asked are you sure you want to finish job. About once a day we have to reopen work order for our techs because the accidently pressed finish job instead of clock out for lunch, or incomplete, or end of shift. Using a laptop's built in mouse is part of the problem but if there was a pop up then that too would save extra steps. There was a lot more complaints before we went to two user's conferences. There we learned the correct ways to use the system.

RTA for Bus fleets

Reviewed 9 years ago

I have only been using RTA for one year, there are a lot I like about RTA and of course I'm still learning the system and processes along with cleaning up a huge mess left behind by my predecessor where they had been using RTA since 2007. It's hard to list what I like about RTA because those areas work easy and I don't think about them, its the problem areas I find I remember of course. The main issues...

The best Company and customers service anywhere

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Ease of use. Great reports, Company listens to customer needs. They work hard to update the system to each customer. They can host the software to where I don't have to worry about slow servers or working with an ITS department that is overloaded and doesn't understand the software.

Cons

None really, the only thing that comes to mind is the constant upgrades and changes make it hard to keep up with. We have been using the software for over 15 years. It is hard sometimes to change to something new when the old way worked so well.

Almost Unlimited Functionality

Reviewed 3 years ago

We have been able to manage parts inventory and warranty tracking better than ever before.

Pros

RTA not only manages work orders and general fleet maintenance, but also part/vehicle warranty, tires and much more. The parts system can learn what parts are commonly used on vehicles and recommend those parts when posting to a work order.

Cons

The software is huge and the user interface isn't easy to learn. It takes a lot of training for mechanics and techs to become fluent.
