Case Study: City of Portland achieves greater fleet efficiency and cost savings with AssetWorks FleetFocus

How FleetFocus Empowers the Award-Winning CityFleet in Portland, Oregon

CityFleet, the City of Portland’s municipal fleet operation, manages 2,850 on- and off‑road vehicles and equipment (valued at over $110M) across six shops and fuel stations with a $35.8M budget and 76 employees. Faced with roughly 23,000 work orders a year, a roughly $300K parts inventory, and time‑consuming manual processes, the department needed better preventive maintenance compliance, faster work‑order processing, accurate parts tracking, and improved reporting and accountability.

By using AssetWorks’ FleetFocus—centralized work‑order screens, automated PM scheduling, barcode parts tracking and a customizable interface—CityFleet streamlined operations, cut annual inventory time from four days to two without temporary staff, improved PM compliance to avoid costly repairs, and made more accurate purchasing decisions. The efficiency and cost savings helped drive measurable performance gains and industry recognition: CityFleet rose into the top ten Best Fleets and was later ranked #4 nationally, while its manager received national honors.
