Preventive maintenance inspections
Preventive maintenance inspection software without military-only terminology.
Crew Keys supports configurable preventive maintenance and vehicle condition inspections for shared fleets. Teams can record checklist results, issue details, mileage, assigned personnel when needed, persistent faults, and inspection history. Military teams can use the same workflow for PMCS, while civilian fleets can simply call it a vehicle or preventive maintenance inspection.
Current product UI
Use the inspection language your organization already understands.
The workflow is a configurable vehicle inspection first. PMCS can remain an Army-specific term where useful without making the product feel military-only to every customer.

What it solves
Use one configurable inspection workflow across different fleet environments.
Civilian-friendly inspection workflow
Present the day-to-day workflow as a vehicle or preventive maintenance inspection instead of requiring users to understand a military acronym.
Configurable checklist items
Use the inspection rows that fit the organization, vehicle type, and operating process.
Findings become usable records
Issue details can carry into open faults and remain connected to maintenance and vehicle history.
Vehicle Inspection & Preventive Maintenance
Use the same Issue / No Issue checklist pattern operators see inside Crew Keys.
| Description | Issue | No Issue |
|---|---|---|
| Tires, Tracks, and Wheels | ||
| Exterior / Interior Damage | ||
| Fuel / Oil / Coolant | ||
| Brakes | ||

Workflow
How preventive maintenance inspections work.
- 01
Choose the vehicle
Start the inspection from the actual fleet record and current vehicle state.
- 02
Complete the checklist
Mark each configured inspection item and add detail where a problem is found.
- 03
Preserve unresolved issues
Carry relevant findings forward so they stay visible after the inspection is complete.
- 04
Keep the inspection in vehicle history
Review the result later with mileage, operator or inspector context, faults, and maintenance records.
Open Vehicle Faults
Inspection findings remain visible until they are repaired or resolved.
| Vehicle | Fault | Status | Source | Reported |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VAN-117 | Passenger mirror cracked | Open | Inspection | Aug 13 |
| SUV-031 | Brake inspection required | Maintenance | Return | Aug 12 |

Questions
Preventive maintenance inspection questions.
What is a preventive maintenance vehicle inspection?
It is a repeatable check of vehicle condition and service-related items intended to identify problems before or during use and preserve a record of what was found.
Is PMCS the same as a vehicle inspection?
PMCS is a military term for preventive maintenance checks and services. Crew Keys supports that use case, but the product can present the workflow in broader civilian language such as Vehicle Inspection or Preventive Maintenance Inspection.
Can each organization customize the checklist?
Yes. Authorized administrators can manage organization-level inspection checklist items.
Can inspection findings become open faults?
Yes. Relevant findings can carry forward as vehicle faults until an authorized user documents repair or resolution.
