RAM Assist lets you create custom reminders to help drivers stay on top of important tasks. Whether it's vehicle checks, maintenance, or other fleet responsibilities, automated reminders keep everyone accountable.
Types of Reminders Available
RAM Assist offers flexible reminder options:
Delivery method: Text messages or emails
Frequency: One-off reminders or recurring schedules
Recipients: Send to yourself, drivers, or colleagues
Creating a New Reminder
Access the reminder system by clicking Tasks at the top of the portal, then select Create New Task.
Setting Up a Recurring Reminder
Let's work through a practical example: setting up daily vehicle check reminders for a driver who frequently forgets:
Basic Settings
Change from one-off to recurring
Switch from email to text for immediate notification
Turn the reminder on to activate it
Scheduling Your Reminder
Configure when and how often the reminder is sent:
Time: Set to 7:00 AM (or whenever appropriate)
Frequency: Choose "Monday to Friday" instead of daily if you don't operate weekends
Mobile number: Enter the driver's phone number
Crafting Your Message
Keep your reminder message clear and specific. For example: "Don't forget to do your vehicle check this morning."
Saving and Activation
Click Save, and you'll receive confirmation that the reminder has been set up successfully.
How Reminders Improve Compliance
Once activated, the driver will receive the text reminder every morning at 7 AM. This creates a simple but effective system of accountability.
When combined with exception alerts that notify you of missed checks, drivers can no longer claim they forgot. The reminder system eliminates excuses while supporting drivers in developing good habits.
