To ensure the safety of drivers, and maintain top health & safety conditions in warehouses and offices, transport & logistics companies usually have a system of checks and inspections. This is still often done with pen & paper, making it an admin hassle, time-consuming and difficult to track at a later date.
GoAudits app for transport and logistics inspections
The hassle of finding and filling the correct forms, then physically submitting them, means that checks may not always be completed, or not always documented properly. Since everyone has a mobile phone in their pocket, a simple inspections app is the most user-friendly and efficient way to conduct such checks.
The GoAudits transport and logistics inspection app digitises traditional pen and paper based checks and will ensure your facilities are safe and vehicles are roadworthy and compliant with DVSA or RSA safety regulations. GoAudits is suitable for all fleet, transport, vehicles and logistics pre-use checks, pre/post hire checks on company vehicles, or general safety inspections such as warehouse walk-throughs.
Train each of your drivers and operators to take responsibility for their own safety. Let them make sure their vehicle or machine is operating as intended by scheduling frequent little checks that they can do on any device. This simple practice can help you keep your fleet active and prevent unplanned breakdowns.
The GoAudits inspections software is very simple and user-friendly. The app makes it easy to go through all the check points, attach evidence photos or type up comments. Users can even simply speak to their device and the voice-to-text interface captures the note for them.
Making it as easy as possible means that the compliance and audit responsiveness will increase exponentially. Read the success story of Miniclipper Logistics: at this road freight operator, the audit responsiveness went from 65% to 97% as staff find it easier and faster to self-audit.
