Electronic DVIR that gets a failed check to the workshop before the truck leaves.
Drivers complete pre-trip and post-trip driver vehicle inspection reports on the phone they already carry. Every defect goes to the people who fix it, and every report is kept against the vehicle.
The inspection was done. The defect went nowhere.
None of this is a driver problem. It’s what happens when a clipboard is the only thing connecting the walk-round to the workshop.
The form is on paper.
It gets lost, gets wet, or arrives at the office at the end of the day.
A defect waits for someone to read it.
The vehicle goes back out with the same problem the driver wrote down.
Nobody can show the check happened.
When an inspector asks, the office starts searching through folders.
Drivers report the same thing twice.
Once on the form, and again on the phone to the workshop.
From a walk-round to a fixed defect, on the record.
See the defect
The driver records it on the walk-round, with a photo if it helps.
Act on it
It reaches the workshop as a service request, and a person decides what happens next.
Keep the record
The report and the repair stay on the vehicle for the next check.
What an electronic DVIR should give your drivers and workshop.
Inspections on the phone
Drivers work through the pre-trip and post-trip inspection on their phone, with in-app guidance so each item gets an answer before the report is submitted.
- Your own checklist, set per vehicle type
- Photos and notes added to explain a defect
- Signed with the driver, the vehicle and the time
Defects go to the workshop
A failed item becomes a service request on that vehicle as soon as the report is submitted, so the repair is in the queue instead of in a tray.
- Defects raised as service requests in maintenance
- Severity recorded, so the urgent ones rise first
- The vehicle’s status visible to dispatch
Reports you can hand over
Who inspected which vehicle, what they found and what was done about it is kept against the vehicle, ready when an inspector or insurer asks.
- Reports kept per vehicle and per driver
- Repairs linked back to the defect that raised them
- Searchable by vehicle, driver, date or defect
Where this earns its place first.
Questions about DVIR.
What is an electronic DVIR?
A driver vehicle inspection report completed on a phone or tablet instead of paper. The driver checks the vehicle, records any defects, and signs the report, and the record is stored against that vehicle.
What happens when a driver reports a defect?
It becomes a service request in Zendu Maintenance for that vehicle, so the workshop can schedule the repair without retyping the report.
Do drivers need another app?
Inspections sit in the driver app, alongside the rest of the driver’s day. We confirm the setup for your vehicles before you start.
How is the electronic DVIR priced?
It depends on how many vehicles and drivers you run and whether you use it with Zendu Maintenance. Tell us your fleet size and we’ll send a quote, with no obligation.
Can we use our own checklist?
Yes. The checklist is set up to match the checks your drivers already do, and it can differ by vehicle type.
Do pre-trip and post-trip inspections work the same way?
Yes. Both are completed in the app, and a defect from either one is sent to the workshop the same way.
How long are inspection reports kept?
Retention is set with you to match the rules you operate under.
How do we try it?
Start with one depot or yard, and agree up front what will count as better, such as fewer defects found for the first time on the road.
