Vehicle, Fleet Inspection and Management

Mobile technology in the vehicle and fleet inspection industry

Paper and pen have been the golden standard for completing logs for a long time. No matter the industry, there’s a good chance that you work with paper on a day-to-day basis. However, paper can be regarded as one of the most unsafe places to store data. It can be lost in a variety of ways, and once the paper’s gone, so is the information on it.

Snappii offers ready-to-use inspection apps, for both vehicle and fleet management, which enables a business to revision their paper and make the switch to digital in as little as a few weeks. Converting your inspection log into a mobile form comes with a plethora of advantages, specifically in the speed and ease at which logs can be completed. Mobile forms create a level of accuracy not possible with traditional means due to all of the extra features completing a report on a phone or tablet can enable. Things like taking pictures, scanning bar codes, real-time updates to tasks, are all possible with a mobile app. While this process is not new, Snappii offers a platform that enables even the layman to create their own app with absolutely zero coding experience. For the first time, even small businesses can create an in-house app that can streamline their inspection process, while making data accessible right from your pocket.

Significant benefits of vehicle and fleet management inspection apps in work with data

Mobile apps created for fleet/vehicle management and inspections are convenient because they can always be found on hands. In the past, part of the downside of data collection was having to go through the data a second time, either to input the information into a database, or to look for the information again after it’s been filed away. When done on paper, it’s easy to write down inaccurate data, and difficult to go back and change it once it’s been written. The former becomes a bit easier with a mobile app, but the latter becomes the opposite. Going back and changing what was written in a mobile form is as easy as pulling it back up.

For vehicle inspections, this perk is invaluable. Going back and having to change something is not uncommon, and mobile forms make it simple to go back when necessary. Mobile forms can single handedly improve workflow, increase efficiency and data accuracy without a huge time commitment from an employee.

 How to choose the right fleet management apps?

You would think that mobile app development is a very long process, however, with Snappii rapid mobile application development platform apps are created in a matter of days. There are just 48 hours spent from the moment we receive your custom app request to the first prototype of your mobile inspection app. You can participate in the development process, suggesting changes on the go, and seeing all the changes made to the app right away. If you have already found the inspection app among Snappii ready-made apps that fits your needs, you can ask us to customize this app for your business. Ready-made app customization includes adding your company logos, colors, contact information, inspection forms customization, or adding your own forms.

Normally, mobile app development is a long process that ends up costing way more than what you were quoted in the beginning. This is because as the projects develops, more and more features tend to get tacked on. It’s only natural – as the app begins to take form, new ideas for better ways to do things may come up. Snappii is the only company that can deliver a quote in less than 24 hours, and have a working prototype in your hands in about a week (depending on the app). In some cases, we’ve even completely finished the app in a week, and upgrading the app after it’s been completed is usually a simple process. The benefit of getting your app so quickly is that you can test it out and make sure that the developers are on the right track. Traditionally, you would have to wait for the finished product. Snappii’s platform breaks the mold by making it completely accessible as fast as possible.
