RTA Drives Fleet Innovation and Surpasses $240 Million in Client Savings Since 2017

RTA’s fleet management information system and consulting services deliver big savings for fleets across industries, saving an average of 2.5 years of working hours per client

RTA: The Fleet Success Company – an industry leader in fleet maintenance and management systems, announces a major milestone in its mission to help fleets succeed. Since Josh Turley, grandson of founder Ron Turley, took over as CEO in 2017, RTA’s software and consulting services have helped clients save over $240 million, far exceeding its original company-wide goal of $100 million in client savings.

The savings metrics reported by RTA stem from a comprehensive time and cost analysis conducted from 2017 to 2024 across its entire client base. The study evaluated operational improvements enabled by RTA, such as paperless workflows, automated maintenance processes and optimized parts and fuel management. Using time studies and wage data, RTA quantified real-world efficiencies, including labor hour reductions and cost savings, to determine the financial and productivity impact.

RTA Fleet360’s user-friendly design and advanced features transform in-house maintenance operations by digitizing and centralizing critical processes for asset management. The platform enables fleets to streamline service requests, automate preventive maintenance schedules, and manage work orders more efficiently – all contributing to significant productivity improvement and cost savings. The client savings measured by the use of RTA’s software are rooted in four key areas:

• Shop Management (64%) – Primarily driven by paperless operations.
• Parts Management (18%) – Efficient inventory tracking and usage.
• Warranty Management (12%) – Maximizing warranty recovery opportunities.
• Fuel Management (6%) – Enhanced tracking and cost control.

Across all industries, RTA delivers an average savings of $90,000 per client annually from the efficiencies gained—equivalent to hiring two additional technicians, a shop supervisor, or purchasing a new vehicle. These savings also equate to $110.80 per asset annually, providing a healthy return on investment. RTA clients have collectively saved 6.62 million technician labor hours since 2017, enabling teams to get more work done with the resources they have.
