Winter Garden, FL – July 22, 2025, ABC Companies is proud to announce the launch of its ABC FleetForward™, a new initiative developed to reduce operational burdens and simplify service planning for fleet operators.
The program is led by Gage Kelly, recently promoted to National Service Sales Manager at ABC. His new role reflects the company’s commitment to putting customers first by developing solutions that directly address key service challenges, including unpredictable maintenance costs and the complexities of coordinating multiple vendors.
“ABC FleetForward™ is designed to simplify fleet maintenance through a turnkey solution that keeps vehicles on the road and allows operators to focus on what matters most—delivering reliable service to their passengers,” said Kelly. “By reducing the complexity of managing multiple service needs, we help improve uptime and deliver long-term value.”
ABC FleetForward™ provides a flexible, customer-focused solution for ongoing fleet upkeep. With service plans tailored to fleet size, vehicle type, and operational goals, the program combines mobile service, routine inspections, mid-life overhauls, and refurbishments into one coordinated offering.
Program Highlights:
- Customized service plans aligned with each operator’s goals
- Integrated services, including mobile support, half-life, and refurbishments
- Dedicated account support for simplified coordination
- Transparent pricing and performance reporting for smarter planning and cost control
The first step is a discovery call to understand the operator’s goals, followed by a fleet assessment to evaluate the specifics of their vehicles and determine what it will take to achieve those objectives. This process allows ABC to design a tailored maintenance program built around measurable outcomes, such as reducing downtime, extending vehicle life, and improving overall fleet efficiency. The result is a formal, data-driven report that provides valuable insights before any commitment is made.
“Fleet managers should not have to act as mechanics, schedulers, and vendor coordinators all at once,” Kelly added. “This is a consultative, partner-based approach. We work side by side with our customers to design a program that fits their operation.”
“At ABC, we are committed to being a true partner to fleet operators by delivering turnkey solutions that simplify fleet management,” said Drew Siciliano, SVP of Sales & Marketing at ABC. “ABC FleetForward™ reflects our continued investment in services that support uptime, streamline maintenance, and bring predictability to fleet operations. This program is a natural extension of how we work: collaboratively and consultatively, with the customer’s success always in mind.”
ABC FleetForward™ is designed to take the complexity out of fleet maintenance, giving operators the confidence to stay focused on their business. By delivering a unified, data-driven service model, the program helps reduce downtime, improve vehicle performance, and support long-term operational success.
