Inspections and maintenance
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A carrier with several terminals collects pre-trip inspection reports on paper, defects reach the shop days late, and preventive maintenance is tracked in a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
// What we would build
A driver app for iOS and Android for daily inspections with photos and defect notes, defects that become shop work orders automatically, and preventive maintenance scheduled from odometer and engine hours read from your ELD provider's published API. We build to the inspection checklist your maintenance manager sets.
// What is in it
- Daily inspection reports on the phone, with photos, defects and the driver's signature
- Defects turned into work orders for the right terminal's shop
- Preventive maintenance due by kilometres, engine hours or date, read from the ELD
- Parts used and labour recorded against each unit
- Unit history in one screen for every truck and trailer
- Existing spreadsheets moved in, unit by unit
