Can you automate data collection with your mechanical shop maintenance software?
Yes. Modern maintenance management software can automatically collect and synchronize data through integrations with telematics systems and other connected platforms. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures your information stays accurate and up to date.
Once collected, the data must also be easy to interpret. A robust CMMS should offer automated imports, customizable dashboards, and flexible reporting tools so you can quickly transform raw data into actionable insights, without adding to your workload.
Will my road mechanics be able to complete work orders remotely?
Yes, MIR-RT is available on the web, allowing road mechanics to complete work orders remotely. Using a cellphone, tablet, or laptop, they can access the system and perform their tasks from the field, without needing to be physically in the garage.
How does MIR-RT inform me about upcoming or overdue maintenance tasks?
Through visual indicators, dashboards, and automated alerts. MIR-RT makes it easy to identify upcoming and overdue maintenance tasks using clear visual cues in the planning module, such as color coding for overdue and coming due maintenance. Users can also receive automated email reports highlighting overdue work, and access a centralized dashboard that provides a high-level overview of maintenance across the entire fleet.
What are the key factors to ensure a successful MIR-RT implementation?
Involving the right people from the start. A successful MIR-RT implementation depends on engaging key stakeholders across the organization early in the process. By understanding their day-to-day workflows and priorities, the system can be configured to match operational needs, ensure proper workflows, and deliver maximum value from the software.
Do I need to process inventory movements each time I receive or use a part?
No, MIR-RT automatically handles inventory movements for you. When a purchase order is received, inventory levels are updated automatically. Likewise, when mechanics use parts on a work order, those parts are automatically deducted from inventory and linked to the job, eliminating manual adjustments and reducing errors.
Can I track the full cost and history of my assets?
Yes, MIR-RT captures all activity related to each asset, including work orders, job codes, and associated costs. This gives you complete visibility into an asset’s full maintenance history and total cost, allowing you to make informed decisions based on accurate, centralized data.
Will I need to manually calculate my selling prices when invoicing?
No, MIR-RT offers multiple settings to automate the pricing of both parts and labor. Prices can be defined based on asset owners, specific parts, or more advanced scenarios using pricing matrices. This removes the need for manual calculations and ensures consistent, accurate invoicing.
Will I be able to see how much a unit cost me over a specific period?
Yes, MIR-RT provides detailed cost reporting that allows you to see exactly how much a unit has cost you over a specific period. You can analyze costs by individual asset, part category, or timeframe, giving you clear visibility to better manage expenses and support data-driven decisions.
How does the data migration process work?
It’s handled as part of the implementation process. During onboarding, we collect your existing data such as units, inventory, parts, inspection sheets, and other relevant information. This data is then used to build a database that aligns with your operational workflows and business needs, ensuring a smooth and accurate transition into MIR-RT.
Can a mechanic have assigned tasks without having to speak to their foreman?
Yes, Using the planning module, the shop foreman can schedule a mechanic’s entire workday in advance. When the mechanic logs into their workstation, they see a clear list of assigned tasks and can move from one job to the next without needing to check back with the foreman each time.
Can MIR-RT suggest which parts I should order?
Yes, MIR-RT helps manage inventory using predefined minimums, maximums, and preferred suppliers. Based on these thresholds, the system can automatically generate purchase orders, ensuring you know exactly which parts to order and from which supplier, without guesswork.
What format does the MIR-RT software training take?
In-person, hands-on training. MIR-RT training is primarily delivered on-site, directly within your live production environment. This approach allows users to learn the software in real working conditions, ask questions in real time, and become fully trained within a short timeframe, typically within one week.

How long does it take to implement the MIR-RT software?
On average, 10 to 12 weeks. The MIR-RT implementation typically takes between 10 and 12 weeks. During this period, our team works closely with you to gather and import your data, build your database, and provide training. By the end of the process, your team is fully trained and actively using the system.
Can MIR-RT be used to manage maintenance for fixed units (buildings, garage doors, etc.)?
Yes. MIR-RT is specialized software for vehicle fleets, but it’s very flexible. Several of our clients also manage the preventive and corrective maintenance of their fixed units.
Can I customize reports in MIR-RT?
MIR-RT offers over 100 integrated reports that are 100% customizable for each user. You can therefore add or remove fields to get exactly the data you wish to see in your report.
