The antiquated paper process you’re still using is jamming the flow of your multi-purpose fleet operations. A digital inspection solution can increase your profits.
Paper processing is a culprit of improper inspections, causing delays between the time a mechanical issue is reported and when repairs are completed. Other unwanted results include missed or partial inspections that lead to high breakdown costs and increased asset downtime. Plus, having employees manually enter inspection data drives up the probability of non-compliance due to human error.
Annual costs of paper logbooks are estimated at $45,720 for a fleet of 1,000.
Here are 5 signs you need to digital inspection solution:
- Reporting Delays – The lag time between reporting a vehicle, equipment, or jobsite problem and repair completion.
- Poor Team Communication – Paper forms result in poor communication — or none at all — between operators, mechanics, and administrators about breaks or the need for scheduled maintenance.
- Costly Equipment Repair – Unscheduled machinery or equipment malfunctioning is more expensive than scheduled preventative maintenance.
- Pencil Whipping – Drivers rush through paper checklists, increasing data errors, and a lack of accountability or potential legal risk.
- Expensive Fines – Faulty jobsite equipment and multi-purpose fleet assets don’t always meet industry compliance standards, resulting in costly fines and strained budgets.
