How to perform a vehicle check
How it works
SmarterDriver gives you a simple, itemized checklist to complete before the first journey of the day. Daily walkarounds are important for driver safety and they help reduce downtime and maintenance costs - the app allows you to easily report faults, ensuring problems can be fixed promptly.
Tap ‘Vehicle check’ to reach the vehicle check screen
Select your vehicle
Search for your vehicle using the search function.
Get an overview of your last vehicle check
To view the previous check summary submitted from the device, click on the inspections listed by date order to see the details. Any defects identified will be shown here
Select the template to use
If more than one check template has been assigned to the vehicle, you will need to select the most appropriate one from the pop-out. If only one check template has been assigned to the vehicle, then you will be taken straight to the checklist.
Tick Good Condition if there is no defect identified
The checklist is ordered to make it easy for you to complete, with instructions that tell you what actions to perform. Go through the list and tick "Good Condition" on any item that doesn’t have a fault.
How to note faults, mark a check as not applicable and to submit reports
To report a fault or problem with an item, select "Defect Found" to bring up a box with a fault details. Here you can give more details about the nature of the fault plus indicate if the vehicle is "roadworthy" or "not roadworthy" as a result of the fault. In addition, photographs can be added to highlight the fault
Submit your report
Once you have completed the checklist, tap Save & Continue. The odometer reading will be automatically input if your vehicle is tracked and the email address of whom you send it to should be populated. You will only get the opportunity to submit an odometer reading if your inspected vehicle is not tracked, and confirm if the vehicle is roadworthy or not.
