Get the free sheetCommon problems with vehicle checks
Longer reads on paper checks, defects reported by message, and records nobody can find when they’re needed.
Move your vehicle checks off paper
A paper walkaround sheet works fine for two vans. Past that, you spend more time collecting, reading and filing sheets than acting on what they say.
Read moreA daily walkaround check app that shows you what was missed
Getting drivers to do a daily walkaround check isn’t the hard part. Knowing that it happened, seeing what failed, and finding the record six months later is.
Read moreVehicle defect reporting that doesn’t get lost in a group chat
A defect report has to reach the right person with enough detail to act on. A blurry photo on WhatsApp and a scrawl on a sheet rarely manage that.
Read moreTrailer inspections that stay with the trailer
Trailers move between vehicles, drivers and sites. If trailer checks get written up on the towing vehicle’s walkaround sheet, the trailer’s own history gets lost.
Read moreFleet 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.
Read moreA vehicle checklist app that does more than tick boxes
A checklist only helps if people fill it in the same way every time, and someone acts on the answers.
Read morePaperless vehicle inspections, done properly
Going paperless should mean less admin, not swapping the filing cabinet for a shared drive full of screenshots and renamed PDFs.
Read moreTail-lift and equipment inspections, next to the walkaround
Not every check is the daily walkaround. Tail lifts and other kit fitted to your vehicles need their own inspections and their own record.
