Fleet apps

Inspections, maintenance and driver files on the phone.

Fleet software has to work in a cab, in a shop and in a safety office. We build the apps your drivers, mechanics and safety staff use every day, joined to your ELD and shop data, so a defect or an expiring licence is never a surprise.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

Inspections that reach the shop

A defect noted on the pre-trip becomes a work order for the right shop the same minute.

Maintenance from the odometer

Service is due by kilometres or engine hours read from your ELD provider's published API, not a guess.

Driver files kept current

Expiry warnings for licences, medicals and training, with documents uploaded by the driver.

Built for gloves and glare

Big targets, short forms and photos instead of typing, tested with your drivers.

// example projects

Priced examples for this service.

Each one is hypothetical, labelled as such, and priced live from our rate card. Open any of them in the estimator and make it yours.

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

Driver recruiting and onboarding

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A carrier takes driver applications by phone and paper forms, chases licences and abstracts by email, and keeps qualification records in folders that drift out of date.

// What we would build

A careers site and application flow designed with drivers for a phone, in English, French and Punjabi, with document uploads and consent, an onboarding checklist per hire, and driver files that warn before a licence, medical or training record expires. The checklist is the one your safety manager sets.

// What is in it

A careers site and application designed for a phone, in three languages
Licence, abstract and work history uploads with the driver's consent
Onboarding checklists, orientation booking and road test notes
Driver files with expiry warnings for licences, medicals and training
Recruiter screens to compare applicants by terminal

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Which ELD providers can the fleet app read from?

Those with a published API, which most current providers have. We check yours before we quote.

Will the inspection app keep us within the rules?

We build the inspection checklist your maintenance and safety managers set. The rules, and compliance with them, stay with your company.

Can drivers apply and onboard from a phone?

Yes. The application, document uploads and orientation booking are designed for a phone first, in the languages your drivers use.
