Who it's for

Local delivery fleets

Local delivery fleets often reuse vehicles across successive trips. A late return, a new inspection finding or an unresolved signature can affect the next plan. Vehicle Inspection App connects the vehicle check to defect work and the load assignment so Dispatcher can review the actual situation before releasing another trip.

How Vehicle Inspection App is set up for you

Check the correct vehicle

Inspector records the unit and driver with the pre-trip or post-trip result. A defect discovered at the end of a run stays attached to that inspection. The next driver should not have to reconstruct the finding from a general shift message.

Explain the delivery exception

Dispatcher follows the planned stop and records arrival and completion separately. Delivery evidence identifies the recipient and signature reference. Evidence Reviewer can mark a disputed confirmation while preserving the physical delivery context for investigation.

Keep replacement choices deliberate

Maintenance Coordinator explains a vehicle's current condition. Dispatcher reviews the replacement unit's inspection and existing commitments, together with the driver's assignment. An Approved load still needs an eligible resource combination before departure.

Local delivery fleets often reuse vehicles across successive trips. A late return, a new inspection finding or an unresolved signature can affect the next plan. Vehicle Inspection App connects the vehicle check to defect work and the load assignment so Dispatcher can review the actual situation before releasing another trip.

Choose a local delivery lane with a known pickup and destination. Use a van that completes an ordinary trip and another with a failed pre-trip check. Rehearse the change of vehicle before dispatch, including a replacement vehicle reserved by an assignment marked Assigned. Review the latest inspection by its recorded time so an older passing result does not determine the decision.

Include a captured delivery confirmation with the wrong signature reference. Ask Evidence Reviewer to explain the dispute and the correction needed before verification. This gives the team a concrete shift handoff to discuss before extending the setup to more routes. Agree any external delivery or tracking feed as a connection with a named owner.

Follow [dispatch to delivery](/vehicle-inspection-app/processes/dispatch-to-delivery) and the [get-started guide](/vehicle-inspection-app/get-started) for the pilot.
