Service plans
Available in: 📱 App · 💻 Web portal
Service plans are recurring maintenance tasks — e.g. an oil change every 10,000 km or the main inspection every 2 years. RideBase continuously calculates when they're due and reminds you in time.
Creating a service plan
- Open the vehicle → Service Plans tab → Create Service Plan
- Enter a task or pick one from the suggestions (e.g. "Main inspection")
- Set when it's due: Interval or Fixed date (see below)
- Optionally add spare parts — they'll be offered to you when executing the plan
- Optionally add notes and save
Interval or fixed date?
Interval
- Interval (km) — e.g. every 10,000 km (for vehicles with an operating hours counter: Interval (h))
- Time interval with the unit Days, Weeks, Months, or Years
- Both can be combined: whichever comes first is due
So RideBase can do the math, you provide the last service: Date of last service and Odometer reading at last service (or Operating hours at last service). If the job has never been done, tap Never — RideBase then calculates from the vehicle's starting reading and acquisition date.
Fixed date
For things due on a fixed date (e.g. the expiry of your first-aid kit): pick the date under Due on and use Advance warning (days before) to set how early the traffic light turns yellow (default: 30 days).
Due-date display (traffic light)
The app and the web portal show a progress bar with traffic-light colors per plan:
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green | All within range — e.g. "in 1,250 km" or "in 90 days" |
| Yellow | Due soon — from 90% of the interval or within the advance-warning period |
| Red | Overdue — e.g. "overdue by 12 days" |
The calculation always uses your vehicle's current odometer reading — so keep it up to date (see Odometer reading).
Marking as done
Open a plan's menu and choose Execute Now: a new service entry opens with the plan preselected as a task. When you save, the last service is set to the entry's date and odometer reading — the traffic light starts over. For fixed dates, you set the New due date in the process.
It works the same way in reverse: if you select the plan as a task in a service entry, it's automatically completed along with it.
History, editing, deleting
In a plan's menu you'll also find:
- History — the service history of all entries this plan was completed with
- Edit — change the interval, task, and spare parts
- Delete — removes the plan (the service entries are kept)
:::info Seasonal break During a seasonal break, RideBase doesn't send reminders for the vehicle — but the due-date display keeps running as usual. :::
