How Smart Maintenance Reminders Save You Time and Money

Why reminders matter
Most costly repairs start as small, predictable tasks that slipped the schedule—oil, filters, belts, brakes, fluids. Smart reminders turn good intentions into on-time service.
What “smart” looks like
- Flexible triggers: by date, mileage, or hours
- Lead-time alerts so you can plan parts and shop time
- Service predictions based on your actual usage
- One place to see what’s due across all equipment
A practical workflow
- Set baseline reminders for each asset (date + mileage/hours).
- Log completed service right away—attach receipts and parts used.
- Review the upcoming list weekly; reschedule with one click if needed.
- Use predictions to group work and minimize downtime.
Why use EquipNote for this
- Unlimited reminders on Premium and above

Bottom line
On-time service is cheaper than emergency repairs. Set smart reminders once, act on them consistently, and watch breakdowns—and costs—drop.
