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 DVSA 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 UK 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 vehicle check should cover.
Things like this must be universally checked within the daily vehicle 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.

In your demo, we'll cover:
Yes. Commercial vehicles must be inspected daily under UK law.
During roadside checks, DVSA officers will ask for inspection records. Poor documentation can result in vehicle prohibition and fines up to £1,500 per vehicle.
Vehicle checks should be done before the vehicle is used each day. This helps to catch safety or maintenance issues early and keep vehicles roadworthy.
Drivers should report defects immediately. The vehicle should be removed from service until it’s repaired and safe to use.
Yes. Our fleet management system lets drivers complete and submit daily vehicle checks digitally. This improves record-keeping, ensures compliance, and helps fleet managers track recurring issues.
You can automate reminders and record-keeping, but inspections must still be carried out manually. Only a person can detect many safety-critical issues.
