Photo Evidence & GPS Verification

Required Failure Photos

When an inspection item fails, the app requires a photo before you can continue. This creates undeniable evidence for compliance records and defect tracking.

GPS Timestamps

Every check is tagged with GPS coordinates and a timestamp, proving the inspection was carried out at the vehicle location at the recorded time.

Per-Driver Audit Trail

Every check is logged against the named driver who performed it, with start and complete timestamps. The app flags inspections completed too quickly for review, so you can trust the records.

Roadside Ready
