For chauffeur and shuttle operators, school bus companies, truck owners and delivery fleets, every vehicle must be safe, compliant and accounted for. In practice, drivers rarely check vehicles properly, trip logs are completed from memory at month-end, and insurance or inspection expiry dates are discovered too late.
A stand-alone vehicle inspection and trip log app solves these specific problems without a full transport management system.
What the app does
- Daily walk-around check: tyres, brakes, lights, mirrors, wipers, seat belts, first-aid kit and fire extinguisher, with photos of any defects
- Defect reports sent instantly to the fleet manager, with the vehicle flagged until fixed
- Trip log: start and end mileage with an odometer photo, time, route and purpose
- Fuel entries with receipt photos and automatic fuel economy
- Expenses for tolls, parking and repairs
- Document expiry alerts for insurance, registration, roadworthiness inspections, operator permits and driver licences
- Service reminders by date or mileage
What fleet owners get
- Inspection history and open defects for each vehicle
- Mileage, fuel economy and cost per mile or kilometre
- Upcoming renewals and services
- Monthly trip and expense reports in Excel, ready for clients and accountants
Why a stand-alone app?
- Fast to build and launch, because there is no integration with other systems to plan and test.
- Lower cost, since the app does one job and does it well.
- Easy for drivers to adopt, with only the screens they need.
- No disruption to the systems you already use; data exports to Excel or PDF any time.
- Room to grow: once it proves its value, it can connect to larger systems later.
Driver data and vehicle location are personal data: collect them only during working hours, explain why in a privacy notice and keep them secure, in line with GDPR and similar laws.
