Driver Daily Walk Round Checks

Checkedsafe DVSA Vehicle compliance App digitises the vehicle defect card by allowing drivers to complete a HGV driver daily walk around check from their smart phone. Historically, all previous checks had to be completed manually, which is time consuming and not to mention expensive. Our Vehicle compliance App is simply to use and all the checks are separated into Inspection categories for ease. This allows the driver carrying out the inspection to speed up the process and submit the results in real time from the App. Drivers can also add detailed notes regarding faults and the actions they took to correct them. Once the check is finished, the report is sent and viewable on the Checkedsafe Workforce Management (CWM) suite. All failed vehicle compliance checks will automatically generate a report which will be sent to your line manager or administrator for inspection and guidance. The CWM suite will automatically store the recorded data which can be downloaded in PDF or excel format for further analysis and KPI. Checkedsafe uses the GPS on the driver’s mobile device to pin point their location when they carry out the daily walk around check. The map location is included in the resulting report. Checkedsafe has several DVSA recommended checklist’s however, all checks can be made bespoke. In fact, a checklist can be created for any vehicle or piece of equipment. Checks can be conducted regardless of wi-fi connection or phone signal. All checks are stored on the device and uploaded automatically to the Checkedsafe Workforce Manager when the driver is in signal area. Designed for Android and Apple mobile devices, Checkedsafe also runs on tablet (Android) and iPads and is also available on the Tom Tom platform. We use the mobile device’s motion sensors to track the driver’s movements as they undertake the check, which ensures that the check is accurately being completed and you can see the driver moving around the vehicle. Once data is recorded on the Checkedsafe App, it cannot be altered in any way as it is a fully secured service. There is a proven saving on removing the paper based vehicle defect reports and going digital, not only on the storage of all vehicle defect cards but on distribution, collection and manual data entry of each card. The peace of mind, knowing that all the daily walkround checks are completed whilst being notified in real time of any defects across your entire fleet adds value and helps stream line your operation. Reducing your administration costs associated with running a paper based system can be eliminated with staff redeployed into other areas of the business. Track non-compliant workers who flout the rules with evidence based reporting which identifies repeat offenders who expose your company to financial risks and curtailments. Real-time notification of defects on checks carried out at the roadside enable your service department to schedule their workflow and more importantly, order parts required before the vehicle has even returned, reducing off road time.
