Vehicle check in the driver's mobile app

Case 1. Vehicle check is enabled.

Once a route is received your driver can call Vehicle Check from the menu and perform the inspection, enter the measured values, make photos and notes if necessary, send alerts to a dispatcher. With Reg.number and odometer reading entered, all units checked the driver can submit vehicle check results to the back office and start a route. 

Case 2. Vehicle check is mandatory prior to a route start.

In this case, your drivers will not be able to start a route unless they inspect a vehicle and submit the inspection results. The procedure itself is the same as in Case 1.

Case 3. Vehicle check is mandatory before closing a route

In this case, your driver will not be allowed to close a route until a vehicle check is completed. Otherwise, the procedure remains the same as described above.
