Walkaround checks
Some of our 150+ clients
A school in Cambridgeshire has transformed its minibus fleet management by using our Driver App for digital walkaround checks and defect reporting. Previously, vehicle inspections were done manually on paper, which took valuable time and had the risk of lost records. Now, with the Driver App, this process is completely paperless and much more efficient and reliable. Drivers do their daily checks with the app before starting home-to-school runs. This ensures that there are no missing records and strengthens compliance since all data is securely stored and is easily accessible.
Drivers also have the functionality to report vehicle defects directly within the app, which go automatically to fleet manager’s inboxes. Any issues can be addressed very quickly, which in turn makes the fleet much safer and more reliable. The App gives tracking of mileage by vehicle, allowing the school to adopt a proactive approach to fleet maintenance, addressing potential issues early and ensuring optimal vehicle performance.
Checks can be customised based on the vehicle that is being used. Schools can create templates for school minibuses, all the way to ride on lawnmowers, to ensure all vehicles within the schools control are checked regularly and accurately.
The scale of adoption at the Cambridgeshire school is impressive. During the Autumn term alone, drivers carried out 2,552 vehicle checks using the app, showing its ability to manage high volumes of checks with ease. This centralised system makes sure that no checks are missed and all vehicles meet the required safety standards every day.
Apart from being operationally efficient, the Driver App has also reduced the environmental footprint of the school by eliminating the need for paper-based records. The system’s ability to consolidate all records in one place simplifies auditing and gives a clear overview of the condition and usage of the fleet.
This example demonstrates how the Driver App can bring measurable benefits to the school, improving safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. Get in touch to see how you could implement Walkaround checks for your home-to-school network, and wider internal fleet too.
