How can the Inspections app help your business

What does this mean in simple terms? Before starting their journey, the driver completes the required Inspections. If any item fails, the maintenance team are instantly notified through real-time alerts and can stop the vehicle leaving the site to help rectify the issue quickly and get the driver on the road safely. If the the driver is already on the road, the maintenance team is instantly able to order any required parts and have them ready to install upon return.
This process allows the business to have a trail of positive information and records against each vehicle to ensure that all assets are maintained correctly and are safe to operate at all times. When paired with the maintenance module within TN360, this can be furthered by being able to create scheduled maintenance works against the vehicle instantly with a few clicks of a button and some added information. For a business operating around the clock to keep business profitable, this is very important to ensure the operation is able to continue to operate successfully, as well as ensure that all assets, that often cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, provide a meaningful and elongated return on investment.
