Vehicle inspections

Transportation organizations often have a need to undertake vehicle inspections, whether in a rental/leasing/fleet management capacity or to ensure compliance with regulatory standards such as VOSA. CommonTime’s mobile business application software can quickly contribute to profitability and productivity and can be used to:

  • Capture information on vehicle damage when the customer returns the vehicle.
  • Incorporate into the closure process on long term leasing contracts so you can ensure that a vehicle is correctly assessed for damage before the contract is closed, protecting your negotiation position for contract renewal.
  • Capture and attach pictures, annotated diagrams and customer signatures as part of the checking in process, streamlining the process and significantly reducing the chance of disputes, non-payment and bad debt.
  • Remove the customer service and productivity problems associated with lost paperwork.
  • Allow information on vehicles to be pushed to mobile operators, removing the need for them to return to the office
  • Help manage the repair process and record repair information to confirm that damage has received attention.
