Fleet inspection software a small team can actually run.

Small operators need some structure, but not a system that takes longer to administer than the inspections themselves.

What small fleets need from inspection software

Once a fleet grows past a few vehicles, paper checks, defect messages and manual filing stop telling you what’s going on.

The hard part is finding something organised enough to rely on and simple enough that drivers and managers use it every day.

Who this fleet inspection software is for

Small fleets, trades, local operators, site teams and growing businesses that want more control over checks and defects.

Teams that want proper records without hiring someone to run the software.

Paper, folders, spreadsheets and MOT reminders

A mix of paper checklists, folders, spreadsheets, group chats and calendar reminders for MOTs.

Each covers one part of the job. None of them shows you, in one place, which vehicles are fit to go out.

Why spreadsheets and enterprise systems both fall short

The bigger the team, the more time goes on checking that records exist instead of dealing with what they say.

Enterprise fleet systems do far more than you need, while manual tools don’t give you enough detail when something goes wrong.
