Vehicles should be regularly inspected to ensure they are compliant with the latest legislation, reduce the risk of defects, save money on costly repairs and help reduce prohibitions such as graduated fixed penalties and Operator Compliance Risk Score points. Statistics show that vehicles that are regularly inspected have, on average, 66% less wheel defects and 57% less brake defects compared to the national average.
Stop the Paperwork Headache
TouchStar’s electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) system allows drivers to complete these checks using a mobile device, which then uploads reports directly to a back office system in real time. The device can also be used to take photographs of any damage or low tyre treads, record a driver’s digital signature and capture the date, time and GPS location at the time of the check to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and eliminating paperwork. The software enables the driver to produce an on-device report which is extremely useful in the event of being stopped by the police or other officials.
Roadworthiness: reporting on defects that could affect the safety, legality or reliability of your vehicle before the next scheduled inspection.
Maintenance: in-depth visual examinations built upon the roadworthiness inspections to give valuable insights into maintenance standards and the general care of the vehicle.
End of Lease: in-depth visual examinations built upon the roadworthiness inspections to give valuable insights into maintenance standards and the general care of the vehicle.
Lifting Equipment: Report on the operation and mechanics of lifting equipment and includes tail lifts, lorry mounted cranes, bin lifts and demountable body systems.
Once you’ve obtained the data, you can build simple reports, making it easier to identify potential issues with either the maintenance provider or driver. The real-time dashboard report is an invaluable feature that enables the office to be kept up to date with which drivers haven’t completed the vehicle check and which vehicle check has failed. Our standard vehicle check software provides all of the above functionality but in the event that you have special requirements, we can even customise our application to match your exact reporting requirements.
The PODStar App is available for direct download to your Android device. Simply visit the Google Play Store and search for ‘TS PODStar’.
