Arsenault Associates announced the development of Instant Recall, a new function of Dossier software that instantly and automatically displays maintenance history information when a new repair order is initiated.
Dossier is Arsenault's fleet maintenance management software.

Instant Recall automatically displays recent repair and maintenance information on a panel that appears on the right side of the screen as soon as the vehicle's ID is selected when a new repair order is opened.

As more information is added to the repair order, Instant Recall automatically drills down into that vehicle's history to match the entered information. As a result, the technician or supervisor can see if the same kind of work has previously been performed on a vehicle and when. He can also see the repair reasons and what parts were installed, and can even see a specific previously completed repair order or complete repair history, all without leaving the working screen.

Instant Recall uses Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards codes, the only code standard specifically developed for the surface transportation industry. VMRS codes have been adopted by most equipment manufactures and parts suppliers to make it easier for parts ordering, warranty recovery, defect reporting, and other issues.
