Daily vehicle check app · HGV, PSV & vans

Daily vehicle checks your drivers will actually do.

£1 per vehicle, per week

Your drivers work through the check on the phone they already carry, before the wheels turn. Anything wrong gets photographed and graded. DDIR records how long the check took — so a rushed one cannot be passed off as a proper one, and every check is kept for whenever you are asked.

The actual walkaround screen

Done properly, before they set off

No book to lose. No sheet to type up later. If a check is hard to do, it does not get done — and the one that did not happen is the one you will be asked about.

01

Driver opens the app

They pick the vehicle, or scan it. The list is the one that applies to that vehicle — lorry, coach, van or trailer.

02

They work down the list

Tap what is fine. Anything that is not, they photograph, grade — serviceable, minor or major — and describe in their own words.

03

It reaches you instantly

A defect lands on your phone the moment it is reported, with the photo — and stays open until somebody records what was done about it. The fault, the fix, the date.

You can see who actually did it

Every walkaround is timed. Fourteen minutes or more shows green — that is a check somebody actually walked round the vehicle to do. A one-minute check shows red, so you know it was ticked from the cab before anybody else asks you about it.

Then there is the harder problem: the check that never happened at all. Where DDIR has tracking or tachograph data, it tells you when a vehicle moved a real distance with no valid walkaround against it. The detection itself costs nothing on top — but it does need one of those two sources, and the tachograph module is charged separately. With our auto-downloader it flags the moment it happens; with tachographs you download by hand, the next time you upload.

What the manager sees

My drivers will never use it

It is the first thing every operator says, and it is the right question — because if the drivers do not use it, none of the rest matters.

So the check is built to be finished standing next to the vehicle in the cold, on whatever phone the driver already owns. No login to remember, no training day, no paperwork afterwards. If something is wrong they take a photo, which is faster than writing it down, and that is usually what wins them over.

Try it with one driver and one vehicle for a week. You will know inside a week whether it is going to stick.

Built and run by working Transport Managers — the people who sit on operators' licences, do the DVSA audits and stand up at Public Inquiries.
