You already know Banner Ford of Mandeville as a great spot for personal vehicles, but you may not realize that we also run a full-scale operation to keep your commercial fleet on the road. Our service team handles everything from standard oil changes and maintenance to major mechanical work on your fleet of heavy-duty gas and diesel trucks. We even use Ford Pro Telematics to make sure your fleet check-ups are as thorough as they can possibly be.
Key Takeaways
- We use Ford Pro Telematics to help you keep an eye on your fleet service needs
- Use the Drive App and various service tiers to get the level of service you need for your fleet of heavy duty vehicles.
- We perform all services to all vehicles in your fleet at our state-of-the-art service department.
Ford built a specialized suite of services called Ford Pro Telematics just for business owners like you. It gives you a single, easy platform to keep an eye on all your vehicles at once. If you've got Ford fleet vehicles from the 2020 model year or newer, they likely already have the built-in connectivity you need to get started.
The way it works is pretty simple--the system pulls data straight from your trucks via built-in modem (though we can also use a quick plug-in device for your older models). Your vehicles send that info over to Ford's servers to get analyzed, then it pops up for both you and our service team on an online dashboard or the Telematics Drive mobile app.
Ford Telemetrics gives you a clear look at how well your fleet is doing. You can track your trucks with real-time GPS and location history or get instant alerts if a vehicle needs a health check. It lets you monitor things like speeding or harsh braking and shows you fuel efficiency stats to help you spot drivers who are idling too much. You can even hook it up to dash cams if you want that extra layer of security. By staying on top of these alerts, our team helps you plan out your maintenance during times when your trucks aren't on the road. That keeps you from dealing with the massive costs and headaches that come with emergency repairs.
Service Tiers and Using the Drive App
Since we're a certified Ford dealer, Banner Ford of Mandeville has all the hardware and support you need to get everything synced up. Ford Pro Telematics is a "software-as-a-service" platform, so you can use it for any Ford that has a modem. Our dealership is your main spot for activating the service, setting up your maintenance through the dash, and getting those plug-in devices for the non-Ford trucks in your fleet.
When you work with us at Banner Ford of Mandeville, we'll help you get set up with either the free version, Ford Pro Telematics Essentials, or the full-blown subscription suite. Since our service department links directly into the Ford Pro system, we see health alerts the moment they happen, which helps us get your trucks back on the job faster. We also provide the Plug-In Devices (PIDs) you may need.

Getting the ball rolling is actually really easy. You just need to set up a Ford Pro Fleet Marketplace account, punch in your VINs, and give the green light for the service. You can start that right on the Ford Pro website or give them a call at 1-833-811-3673 to get it moving.
