Municipalities and government sectors face increasing pressure to manage their vehicle fleets efficiently while maintaining transparency and accountability. From garbage trucks to buses, these fleets require regular maintenance, including the use of bulk fluids like oil, coolant, and grease. But how do you ensure every drop is accounted for? Enter Graco’s Pulse Pro Fluid Management System—a revolutionary solution that simplifies fluid tracking and inventory management while improving operational efficiency.

At HMFT, we’re proud to support municipalities in implementing Graco’s cutting-edge technology to streamline their garage operations. In this blog, we’ll explore how Pulse Pro makes accountability easy and why it’s a must-have for municipal garages.

The Challenges of Fluid Management in Municipal Garages

Managing fluid inventory in a busy municipal garage can be a logistical nightmare. Common challenges include:

• Fluid Waste: Without proper tracking, unused or over-dispensed fluids lead to unnecessary waste and increased costs.
• Lack of Transparency: Manual processes make it difficult to monitor who dispensed fluids, when, and how much—creating gaps in accountability.
• Inventory Errors: Inaccurate stock levels can delay maintenance schedules and disrupt fleet operations.
• Compliance Issues: Municipalities often need detailed records for audits or regulatory compliance, which can be difficult to maintain manually.

Graco’s Pulse Pro Fluid Management System addresses these challenges head-on with advanced wireless technology designed to simplify fluid tracking and reporting.

What Makes Graco Pulse Pro Stand Out?

Pulse Pro is more than just a fluid management system—it’s a comprehensive solution that transforms how municipal garages operate. Here’s what makes it unique:

1. Real-Time Fluid Tracking

Pulse Pro tracks every dispense in real time, ensuring accurate records of who dispensed fluids, when, and how much. This eliminates guesswork and ensures complete accountability for every drop used.

2. Wireless Connectivity

Gone are the days of cumbersome manual logs or outdated systems. Pulse Pro uses wireless technology to connect dispense meters, tank-level monitors, and software platforms seamlessly—allowing technicians and managers to access data anytime, anywhere.

3. Automated Reporting

With built-in reporting capabilities, Pulse Pro generates detailed usage reports automatically. These reports help municipalities monitor fluid consumption trends, identify inefficiencies, and ensure compliance with audits or regulatory requirements.

4. Inventory Control

Pulse Pro integrates with tank-level monitors to provide real-time inventory updates. This prevents stockouts or over-ordering while ensuring your garage always has the fluids it needs for fleet maintenance.

5. User-Friendly Interface

The intuitive dashboard makes it easy for technicians and managers to navigate the system, track usage, and generate reports—all without extensive training or technical expertise.
