Every fleet manager knows daily vehicle checks are required by law, but paper-based systems create their own challenges. Handwritten forms get lost or damaged, illegible notes make it difficult to track defects properly, and filing paperwork takes valuable time away from managing your fleet.
When inspectors ask for your records, you need to locate them quickly. Paper systems make this process stressful and time-consuming, especially when you're trying to find specific inspection records during an audit.
Our fleet management app addresses these challenges while ensuring you meet all legal requirements for commercial vehicle inspections.
There are various aspects of your fleet that must be checked for it to be considered roadworthy; these will vary based on the vehicle manufacturer and model. However, there are some aspects that every daily circle check should cover.
Things like this must be universally checked within the daily circle checks, as this is of utmost importance to driver safety.
Checks get done fast, without missing anything critical. 20 years of working with drivers has taught us that the best tool is one that doesn't get in the way of doing the job.

Every fleet is different, so we customize our demos to show you exactly how digital circle checks would work with your specific vehicles, drivers, and needs.
In your demo, we'll cover:
A daily circle check is a routine daily inspection of a commercial vehicle that ensures that it falls in line with the regulations set out by the manufacturer of the vehicle so it is safe to drive.
Daily circle checks help to identify any maintenance issues with a vehicle before it is driven, allowing you to understand if it is not roadworthy. This helps to keep drivers safe and keep vehicles in good working order.
Each daily circle check will be different depending on the make, model and manufacturer of the vehicle. However, as a minimum requirement, drivers should ensure that they check the brakes, lights, tires, steering and other critical components of the vehicle which help to ensure that they are safe whilst on the road.
It's incredibly important that you record the results of your daily circle checks, this includes any defects that are found, this allows the fleet manager to take the vehicle off the road so it can be taken in for repairs.
If a vehicle is found to have a maintenance issue it is important that the circle check is completed in full to check for other issues and submitted so the fleet manager can assess the issue to book it in for repairs.
