Getting The Most out of VMRS

GLEN ALLEN, Va. and NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 27, 2017 -- Decisiv, Inc., the leader in Service Relationship Management (SRM) and provider of the first IIoT PaaS solution for commercial asset service management, announced today at the 2017 TMC Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition a new white paper, VMRS: The Next Level, that details a clear, simple process for using VMRS coding to enhance maintenance management and analysis.

“Inconsistent usage, limited adoption and misconceptions have minimized the broader value of VMRS,” said Michael Riemer, VP Product and Channel Marketing Decisiv. “Too many people in the transportation industry think that VMRS is only a nine-digit component code, a practice that only takes advantage of three of the 84 available code keys. However, this grossly undervalues the power and value of VMRS as the standard, universal language for service event and asset maintenance.”

VMRS: The Next Level details how service supply chain participants can use VMRS to ensure more uniform process management, more reliable work order creation, more effective communication, and ultimately build a foundation for more accurate reporting and more useful predictive analytics.

“Using VMRS does not involve memorizing a bunch of codes and numbers,” Riemer added. “Best-in-class software implementations, such as the Decisiv SRM Platform-as-a-Service solution, leverage 'friendly' names that put everything into simple-to-use regular language.”

Decisiv’s first white paper on VMRS — Using VMRS Codes to Unlock Fleet Profitability — focused on the basics by providing insight into a limited number of Code Keys for Assets, Service Events and Repair Operations. VMRS: The Next Level provides a clear, simple process for using VMRS for commercial vehicle and heavy equipment asset management and service events.
