Add usage-based asset maintenance plans

Learn how to add usage-based asset maintenance plans to ensure assets are serviced based on distance or runtime via the web app.

This feature is part of an add-on package for individual assets. To explore if it’s the right fit for your team, reach out to your customer success manager or register your interest for asset maintenance.

What are usage-based maintenance plans?

Usage-based maintenance plans help ensure assets are serviced depending on how much they’re used, such as every 1,000 kilometers, 500 miles, or 250 hours. Unlike time-based plans, which follow fixed calendar intervals, usage-based plans respond to actual asset activity. It’s often used in environments where some assets run constantly while others are used less frequently.

Common examples include:

  • 5,000 km or 3,000 mi servicing for fleet vehicles

  • Engine maintenance every 250 hours for generators

  • Forklift servicing every 1,000 km or 600 mi in busy warehouses

In SafetyCulture, usage-based plans are part of a maintenance program that applies servicing rules across multiple assets. Depending on the asset, you can use odometer (distance traveled) or runtime values (total operating hours). Then, set a usage interval to trigger servicing and define thresholds to show when maintenance is approaching or overdue.

Usage-based plans can also be used alongside time-based plans, giving your team flexibility to manage asset servicing by usage, time, or both.

Servicing follows the unit you set in the plan, while the Maintenance table shows the values based on your account's metric settings.

For odometer-based plans, if your profile is set to miles, the values will display in miles even if the plan was created using kilometers. Runtime values are always shown in hours and cannot be changed.
