A critical aspect of last mile delivery should always feature vehicle safety.
Ensuring vehicles are road safe provides peace of mind to drivers, operators and customers. Using a logistics software solution like ROUTD helps ensure processes are in place to highlight any risks and stop a journey before it’s started.
ROUTD separates, determines, and categorises a vehicle’s condition through:
1. Major Faults
2. Minor Faults
A ‘Major Fault’ indicates that the vehicle should not be driven / a route should not be assigned
A ‘Minor Fault’ highlights something that needs to be addressed but is not indicative of an unsafe vehicle
During a vehicle safety check, and before any driver can start their delivery route, a vehicle checklist must be completed.
ROUTD provides a simple to navigate display which guides the driver through the step-by-step process and allows comments to be added. This provides trackability if multiple drivers use the same vehicle in a single day or if the vehicle is damaged during a route.
ROUTD creates visibility for all users into the critical preparation stage of a delivery. It ensures vehicle and driver safety checks are adhered to, enables quicker decision making in the event of unsafe vehicles, and informs preventative maintenance schedules on clients’ vehicle fleet.
ROUTD ultimately removes much of the administrative burden by digitising fleet information and record keeping, which allows your team to focus on the job at hand.
